    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices related to auto-referenced memory cell read techniques are described. The auto-referenced read may encode user data to include a predetermined number of bits having a first logic state prior to storing the user data in memory cells. The auto-referenced read may store a total number of bits of the user data having a first logic state in a separate set of memory cells. Subsequently, reading the user data may be carried out by applying a read voltage to the memory cells storing the user data while monitoring a series of switching events by activating a subset of the memory cells having the first logic state. During the read operation, the auto-referenced read may compare the number of activated memory cells to either the predetermined number or the total number to determine whether all the bits having the first logic state has been detected. When the number of activated memory cells matches either the predetermined number or the total number, the auto-referenced read may determine that the memory cells that have been activated correspond to the first logic state.

    Abstract: Nonvolatile storage includes first and second memory types with different read latencies. FLASH memory and phase change memory are examples. A first portion of a data block is stored in the phase change memory and a second portion of the data block is stored in the FLASH memory. The first portion of the data block is accessed prior to the second portion of the data block during a read operation.

    Abstract: A method is provided for accessing a memory device. The method includes programming data in a plurality of cells of the memory device in a first programming operation. The first programming operation uses a first memory instruction including at least one first parameter representative of at least one first threshold voltage value for said programming. The method further includes re-programming at least a portion of the data in the plurality of cells in a second programming operation. The second programming operation uses a second memory instruction including at least one second parameter representative of at least one second threshold voltage value for said re-programming, wherein said re-programming provides bit manipulation of the portion of the data.
