    摘要: Apparatus and methods for evaluating leakage currents of capacitances are described. Capacitances having excessive leakage currents may be disabled from use. An example apparatus includes a leakage detection circuit configured to be coupled to a capacitance block. The leakage detection circuit is configured to determine whether a leakage current of a capacitance of the capacitance block exceeds a current limit and is further configured to provide an output indicative of a status of the capacitance. A detection controller is coupled to the leakage detection circuit and a register, and the detection controller is configured to store data in the register indicative of the status of the capacitance based at least in part on the signal from the leakage detection circuit.

    摘要: Memory devices adapted to repair single unprogrammable cells during a program operation, and to repair columns containing unprogrammable cells during a subsequent erase operation. Programming of such memory devices includes determining that a single cell is unprogrammable and repairing the single cell, and repairing a column containing the single cell responsive to a subsequent erase operation.

    摘要: Block-row decoders, memory block-row decoders, memories, methods for deselecting a decoder of a memory and methods of selecting a block of memory are disclosed. An example memory block-row decoder includes a plurality of block-row decoders, each of the block-row decoders having a decoder switch tree. Each block-row decoder is configured to bias a block select switch of the decoder switch tree with a first voltage while the block-row decoder is deselected and further configured to bias decoders switches of the decoder switch tree that are coupled to the block select switch with a second voltage while the block-row decoder is deselected, the second voltage less than the first voltage. An example method of deselecting a decoder of a memory includes providing decoder signals having different voltages to decoder switches from at least two different levels of a decoder switch tree while the decoder is deselected.

    摘要: Apparatus and methods of operating memory devices are disclosed. In one such method, a first portion of the data states of memory cells are determined and transferred from a memory device while continuing to determine remaining portions of data states of the same memory cells. In at least one method, a data state of a memory cell is determined during a first sense phase and is transferred while the memory cell experiences additional sense phases to determine additional portions of the data state of the memory cell.

    摘要: Briefly, in accordance with one or more embodiments, an offset compensated comparator is capable of being utilized for higher speed, lower voltage use. The comparator comprises a cross-coupled latch comprising n type devices and p type devices. The threshold mismatch between n type devices is captured on capacitors coupled to the gates of the n type devices to capture the mismatch between the devices. After the threshold mismatch is captured, the comparator can be used as a typical cross coupled latch.
