    摘要: Systems, apparatuses, and methods may be provided that adapt to trim set advancement. Trim set advancement may be a change in trim sets over time. A cell of a semiconductor memory may have a first charge level and be programmed with a first trim set. The cell may be reprogrammed by raising the first charge level to a second charge level that corresponds to the cell programmed with a second trim set.

    摘要: In a non-volatile storage system, a reduced voltage is provided on a selected word line during a sensing operation, using down coupling from one or more adjacent word lines. Voltages of one or more adjacent word lines of a selected word line are driven down while a voltage of the selected word line is floated. Capacitive coupling from the one or more adjacent word lines to the selected word line reduces the voltage of the selected word line. The capacitive coupling can be provided during a read, a program-verify test or an erase-verify test. The erase-verify test can be performed on cells of even-numbered word lines while capacitive coupling is provided by odd-numbered word lines, or on cells of odd-numbered word lines while capacitive coupling is provided by even-numbered word lines. Voltages of non-adjacent word lines can be provided at fixed, pass voltage levels.

    摘要: A programming process evaluates NAND strings of a block to detect a defective NAND string, e.g., a NAND string with a defective storage element. Status bits can be stored which identify the defective NAND string. Original data which is to be written in the NAND string is modified so that programming of the defective NAND string does not occur. For example, a bit of write data which requires a storage element in the defective NAND string to be programmed to a higher data state is modified (e.g., flipped) so that no programming of the storage element is required. Subsequently, when a read operation is performed, the flipped bits are flipped back to their original value, such as by using error correction code decoding. In an erase process, a count of defective NAND strings is made and used to adjust a pass condition of a verify test.

    摘要: Systems, apparatuses, and methods are provided that refresh data in a memory. Data is programmed into the memory. After which, part or all of the data may be refreshed. The refresh of the data may be different from the initial programming of the data in one or more respects. For example, the refresh of the data may include fewer steps than the programming of the data and may be performed without erasing a section of memory. Further, the refresh of the data may be triggered in one of several ways. For example, after programming the data, the data may be analyzed for errors. Based on the number of errors found, the data may be refreshed.

    摘要: A memory device includes memory cells arranged in word lines. Due to variations in the fabrication process, with width and spacing between word lines can vary, resulting in widened threshold voltage distributions. In one approach, a programming parameter is optimized for each word line based on a measurement of the threshold voltage distributions in an initial programming operation. An adjustment to the programming parameter of a word line can be based, e.g., on measurements from adjacent word lines, and a position of the word line in a set of word lines. The programming parameter can include a programming mode such as a number of programming passes. Moreover, the programming parameters from one set of word lines can be used for another set of word lines having a similar physical layout due to the variations in the fabrication process.

    摘要: Techniques are presented for improving the efficiency of charge pumps. A charge pump, or a stage of a charge pump, provides its output through a pass gate. For example, this could be a charge pump of a voltage doubler type, where the output is supplied through pass gate transistors whose gates are connected to receive the output of an auxiliary section, also of a voltage doubler type of design. The waveforms provided to the gates of the pass gate transistors are modified so that their low values are offset to a higher value to take into account the threshold voltage of the pass gate transistors. In a voltage doubler based example, this can be implemented by way of introducing diodes into each leg of the auxiliary section.

    摘要: A apparatus and process for reading data from non-volatile storage includes applying a read compare signal to a selected data memory cell of a NAND string, applying a first set of one or more read pass voltages to unselected data memory cells at both ends of the NAND string and applying a second set of one or more read pass voltages to unselected data memory cells between both ends of the NAND string and on both sides of the selected data memory cell. The second set of one or more read pass voltages are all higher than the first set of one or more read pass voltages.

    摘要: Techniques are presented for determining current levels based on the behavior of a charge pump system while driving a load under regulation. While driving the load under regulation, the number of pump clocks during a set interval is counted. This can be compared to a reference that can be obtained, for example, from the numbers of cycles needed to drive a known load current over an interval of the duration. By comparing the counts, the amount of current being drawn by the load can be determined. This technique can be applied to determining leakage from circuit elements, such as word lines in a non-volatile memory.
