    摘要: The lowest programmed state in multi-state non-volatile flash memory devices can suffer from an increased level of bit line to bit line capacitive charge coupling when compared with other states. Program voltages applied to memory cells as increasing voltage pulses can be incremented using smaller values when programming memory cells to the lowest programmable state. Smaller increments in the applied voltage allow for greater precision and a narrower threshold voltage distribution to compensate for the disproportionate charge coupling experienced by cells programmed to this state. Smaller increment values can be used when switching from lower page to upper page programming in some implementations. In a pipelined programming architecture where cells forming a physical page store two logical pages of data and programming for one logical page begins before receiving data for the other logical page, the increment value can be increased when switching from programming the first logical page to programming both pages concurrently.

    摘要: Power-saving techniques are employed in sensing a group of non-volatile memory cells in parallel. One technique is that the coupling of the memory cells to their bit lines is delayed during a precharge operation in order to reduce the cells'currents working against the precharge. Another technique is that a power-consuming precharge period is minimized by preemptively starting the sensing in a multi-pass sensing operation. High current cells not detected as a result of the premature sensing will still be able to be detected in a subsequent pass.

    摘要: A non-volatile memory wherein bad columns in the array of memory cells can be removed is described. Additionally, substitute redundant columns can replace the removed columns. Both of these processes are performed on the memory in a manner that is externally transparent and, consequently, need not be managed externally by the host or controller to which the memory is attached. An inventory of the bad columns can be maintained on the memory. At power up, the list of bad columns is used to fuse out the bad columns. The memory may also contain a number of redundant columns that can be used to replace the bad columns.

    摘要: A trial programming process is performed for a first set of one or more non-volatile storage elements to test usage of the non-volatile storage system. Based on this trial programming, a programming signal is calibrated by adjusting its initial magnitude. The calibrated programming signal is then used to program a second set of non-volatile storage elements (which may or may not include the first set).

    摘要: Methods and systems are provided for measuring a retinal sublayer characteristic of an eye. A plurality of axial scans are performed over an area of the retina of the eye. Reflections are measured during the axial scans to determine a plurality of sets of reflection intensity values. A given set of reflection intensity values is associated with one of the plurality of axial scans. A progressive refinement boundary detection algorithm is performed using the plurality of sets of reflection intensity values to determine at least one boundary location associated with the retinal sublayer for each of the plurality of sets of reflection intensity values. The retinal sublayer characteristic is determined in response to the determined boundary locations.

    摘要: Easily implemented randomization within a flash memory EEPROM reduces the NAND string resistance effect, program disturbs, user read disturbs, and floating gate to floating gate coupling that result from repeated and long term storage of specific data patterns. The randomization may be code generated pseudo randomization or user driven randomization in different embodiments. User driven commands, the timing of which cannot be predicted may be used to trigger and achieve a high level of randomization. Randomly altering the encoding scheme of the data prevents repeated and long term storage of specific data patterns. Even if a user wishes to store the same information for long periods, or to repeatedly store it, it will be randomly encoded with different encoding schemes, and the data pattern will therefore be varied.
