    Abstract: A level shifter includes a level shifter module that receives a first input signal having high and low states and at least one voltage supply signal, and that generates a latch control signal based on the high and low states of the first input signal. A latch module receives the latch control signal, a data input signal, and the at least one voltage supply signal. The latch module selectively stores data associated with the data input signal based on the latch control signal. The latch module selectively changes the at least one voltage supply signal from a first level to a second level and outputs the data according to the second level based on the latch control signal.

    Abstract: A system includes an input that receives a control signal and a program module that initializes a nonvolatile multilevel memory cell based on the control signal. The program module initializes the nonvolatile multilevel memory cell by programming the nonvolatile multilevel memory cell to one of S states of the nonvolatile multilevel memory cell, where S is an integer greater than 1. The one of the S states is different than a lowest one of the S states.

    Abstract: A sensing amplifier for a memory cell comprises a selection stage that outputs one of a reference current and a memory cell current during a first period and the other of the reference current and the memory cell current during a second period. The first period and the second period are non-overlapping. An input stage generates a first current based on the one of the reference current and the memory cell current during the first period and generates a second current based on the other of the reference current and the memory cell current during the second period. A sensing stage senses a first value based on the first current and stores the first value during the first period, senses a second value based on the second current during the second period and compares the first value to the second value.
