Abstract: Improved flash memory sensing circuits are disclosed. In one embodiment, a sensing circuit comprises a memory data read block, a memory reference block, a differential amplifier, and a precharge circuit. The precharge circuit compensates for parasitic capacitance between a bit line coupled to a selected memory cell and adjacent bit lines.

Abstract: The present invention relates to an improved sensing amplifier and related method for use in read operations in flash memory devices. In one embodiment, the sensing amplifier includes a built-in voltage offset. In another embodiment, a voltage offset is induced in the sensing amplifier through the use of capacitors. In another embodiment, the sensing amplifier utilizes sloped timing for the reference signal to increase the margin by which a “0” or “1” are detected from the current drawn by the selected cell compared to the reference cell. In an another embodiment, a sensing amplifier is used without any voltage offset.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a circuit and method for low power operation in a flash memory system. In disclosed embodiments of a selection-decoding circuit path, pull-up and pull-down circuits are used to save values at certain output nodes during a power save or shut down modes, which allows the main power source to be shut down while still maintaining the values.

Abstract: A non-volatile memory device comprises a semiconductor substrate of a first conductivity type. An array of non-volatile memory cells is located in the semiconductor substrate and arranged in a plurality of rows and columns. Each memory cell comprises a first region on a surface of the semiconductor substrate of a second conductivity type, and a second region on the surface of the semiconductor substrate of the second conductivity type. A channel region is between the first region and the second region. A word line overlies a first portion of the channel region and is insulated therefrom, and adjacent to the first region and having little or no overlap with the first region. A floating gate overlies a second portion of the channel region, is adjacent to the first portion, and is insulated therefrom and is adjacent to the second region. A coupling gate overlies the floating gate. A bit line is connected to the first region. During the operations of program, read, or erase, a negative voltage can be applied to the word lines and/or coupling gates of the selected or unselected memory cells.
