    摘要: A semiconductor memory device includes a memory cell array having memory strings that include memory cells and first and second selection transistors. During a read operation, a controller applies a first voltage higher than ground to a source line, and a second voltage to a first and second selection gate lines that are connected to a selected memory string. The second voltage is also applied to the first selection gate lines connected to non-selected memory strings during a first period of the read operation. A third voltage higher than ground and lower than the second voltage is applied to the first selection gate lines connected to non-selected memory strings during a second period of the read operation subsequent to the first period.

    摘要: A semiconductor memory device includes a first memory cell transistor, a first bit line electrically coupled to the first memory cell transistor, a first sense amplifier, and a first latch circuit. The first sense amplifier includes a first node coupled to the first bit line, a first transistor including one end electrically coupled to the first latch circuit, a second node coupled to a gate of the first transistor, and a second transistor coupled between the first and second nodes. The second transistor is in an ON state during an operation of transferring a charge from the first bit line to the first and second nodes in accordance with data of the first memory cell transistor. The second transistor is in an OFF state during an operation of transferring data of the second node to the first latch circuit.

    摘要: An integrated circuit device having a mechanism to check calibration of memory cells configured to perform operations of multiplication and accumulation. The integrated circuit device programs, in a first mode, threshold voltages of first memory cells in a memory cell array to store weight data, and programs, in a second mode, threshold voltages of second memory cells in the memory cell array to store a first result of applying an operation of multiplication and accumulation to a sample input and the weight data. During a calibration check, the integrated circuit device performs the operation using the first memory cells to obtain a second result, and compares the first result, retrieved from the second memory cells, and the second result to determine whether calibration of output current characteristics of the first memory cells programmed in the first mode is corrupted.

    摘要: The present disclosure relates to a method for accessing memory cells comprising: applying an increasing read voltage with a first polarity to the plurality of memory cells; counting a number of switching memory cells in the plurality based on the applying the increasing read voltage; applying a first read voltage with the first polarity based on the number of switched memory cells reaching a threshold number; applying a second read voltage with a second polarity opposite to the first polarity; and determining that a memory cell in the plurality of memory cells has a first logic value based on the memory cell having switched during one of the applying the increasing read voltage and the applying the first read voltage or based on the memory cell not having switched during the applying the second read voltage. A related system is also disclosed.

    摘要: Apparatuses, methods, and systems for storing one data value by programming a first memory cell and a second memory cell are disclosed. The first memory cell and the second memory cell may each be programmed to a first data state, a second data state, or a third data state, and the one data value can correspond to a combination of the first data state, the second data state, or the third data state to which the first memory cell and the second memory cell are programmed, where two combinations of the first data state, the second data state, or the third data state to which the first memory cell is programmable and the first data state, the second data state, or the third data state to which the second memory cell is programmable are ineligible to correspond to the one data value.
