    Abstract: An integrated circuit with memory can operate with reduced latency between consecutive operations such as read operations. At a first time, a first operation command is finished on a memory array on an integrated circuit. At a second time, a second operation command is begun on the memory array. A regulated output voltage from the charge pump is coupled to word lines in the memory array. From the first time to the second time, a regulated output voltage is maintained at about a word line operation voltage such as a read voltage.

    Abstract: A memory cell undergoing programming is determined as belonging to a particular one of a plurality of second threshold voltage ranges that divide a present threshold voltage range of the particular memory cell. Programming pulses are applied to program the particular memory cell to within the target threshold voltage range. At least one of a program voltage and a total duration of the programming pulses applied to the particular memory cell is varied, depending on the particular second threshold voltage range of the memory cell.

    Abstract: A method for storing a data value in a memory cell is provided. The data value includes one of a first data value and a second data value respectively represented by a first and a second programmable resistance ranges. The method includes, within a write cycle, storing the first data value in the memory cell by applying a first verify operation having a first verify period and a first write operation having a first write period, or storing the second data value in the memory cell by applying a second verify operation having a second verify period longer than the first verify period and a second write operation having a second write period shorter than the first write period. The write cycle is shorter than a sum of the first write period and the second verify period.

    Abstract: The storage layer such as a nitride layer of a nonvolatile memory cell has two storage parts storing separately addressable data, typically respectively proximate to the source terminal and the drain terminal. The applied drain voltage while sensing the data of one of the storage parts depends on the data stored at the other storage part. If the data stored at the other storage part is represented by a threshold voltage exceeding a minimum threshold voltage, then the applied drain voltage is raised. This technology is useful in read operations and program verify operations to widen the threshold voltage window.
