Abstract: Methods include applying a first voltage level to first and second data lines while applying a second, lower, voltage level to first and second select gates connected between the data lines and respective strings of memory cells; decreasing a voltage level of the first data line to a third voltage level; increasing a voltage level of the first select gate to a fourth voltage level; applying a fifth voltage level, higher than the first voltage level, to first and second access lines coupled to memory cells of the strings of memory cells; and increasing a voltage level of the first access line to a sixth voltage level.

Abstract: Methods of operating a memory include storing a first target data state of multiple possible data states of a first memory cell to be programmed in a target data latch coupled to a data node, storing at least one bit of a second target data state of the multiple possible data states of a second memory cell to be programmed in an aggressor data latch coupled to the data node, and programming the first memory cell and performing a program verify operation for the first target data state to determine if the first memory cell is verified for the first target data state. The program verify operation including: an intermediate verify corresponding to an amount of aggression to apply a voltage to the data node when performing the intermediate verify, based on the at least one bit of the second target state stored in the aggressor data latch; and a program verify corresponding to a condition of no aggression to apply to the voltage to the data node when performing the program verify, based on the at least one bit of the second target state stored in the aggressor data latch. The methods including inhibiting the first memory cell from further programming if the first memory cell is verified during the intermediate verify and the at least one bit in the aggressor data latch corresponds to the particular amount of aggression, or the first memory cell is verified during the program verify and the at least one bit in the aggressor data latch corresponds to the condition of no aggression. The second memory cell is a neighbor of the first memory cell.

Abstract: A variety of applications can include apparatus or methods that provide a well ring for resistive ground power domain segregation. The well ring can be implemented as a n-well in a p-type substrate. Resistive separation between ground domains can be generated by biasing a n-well ring to an external supply voltage. This approach can provide a procedure, from a process standpoint, that provides relatively high flexibility to design for chip floor planning and simulation, while providing sufficient noise rejection between independent ground power domains when correctly sized. Significant noise rejection between ground power domains can be attained.

Abstract: A page buffer circuit in a memory device includes a logic element configured to perform a series of calculations pertaining to one or more memory access operations and generate a plurality of calculation results associated with the series of calculations and a dynamic memory element coupled with the logic element and configured to store the plurality of calculation results. The page buffer circuit further includes an isolation element coupled between the logic element and the dynamic memory element, the isolation element to permit a calculation result from the logic element to pass to the dynamic memory element when activated and one or more bitline driver circuits coupled to the dynamic memory element and configured to perform pre-charging operations associated with the one or more memory access operations and based at least in part on the plurality of calculation results stored in the dynamic memory element. The one or more bitline driver circuits can perform a first pre-charging operation on the memory array based at least in part on a first calculation result stored in the dynamic memory element during a first period of time when the isolation element is deactivated to disconnect the logic element from the dynamic memory element, and the logic element is configured to concurrently generate a second calculation result during the first period of time.
