A nonvolatile memory array is associated with counting memory that stores data on a number of times a particular threshold state is reached in the associated nonvolatile memory. The aging physical characteristics of the nonvolatile memory can be compensated by adjusting the operating conditions of the nonvolatile memory. The operating conditions vary depending on the data stored in the counting memory.

A method and an integrated circuit for performing a soft program after erase provides efficient convergence of over-erased floating gate memory cells disposed in bit lines. The soft program is applied to successive subject bit lines. The BLISP method includes selection of a selected bit line and applying the soft program to a subject bit line corresponding to the selected bit line. For integrated circuits having no defective bit lines, the subject bit lines comprise the selected bit lines. The BLISP method is adapted for low current consumption compared to bulk soft programming methods. In some embodiments, the integrated circuit includes defective bit lines. For these integrated circuits, the selection of the selected bit line includes indicating a bit line type corresponding to the selected bit line. The defective bit lines are logically replaced by redundant bit lines so that the soft program is applied to conforming selected bit lines and redundant bit lines corresponding to defective bit lines. The defective bit lines in the first memory array can be disabled during the soft program and replaced by corresponding redundant bit lines disposed in the second memory array, so that the soft program is not applied to the defective bit lines. By preventing application of the soft program to the defective bit lines, the BLISP method avoids consumption of excessive current that would otherwise be consumed by very low threshold voltage memory cells disposed on the defective bit lines. The excessive current would render the soft program method much less efficient.

A circuit is provided for applying a negative voltage to the control gate of a floating gate memory cell and a positive voltage to the source drain or channel which comprises a positive voltage source to provide a positive voltage to the source of the cell, and a negative voltage source responsive to the supply voltage to provide a negative voltage to the control gate. A voltage regulator is included that is coupled to the negative voltage source and to the positive voltage source to maintain the negative voltage at a level responsive to the source voltage. The regulator maintains the negative voltage in response to the source voltage so that the electric field remains essentially constant over a range of values of source voltage.

The negative supply voltage and isolation well bias used by the drivers during sector or chip level erase operations are decoded separately from each other and from the decoding of the inputs of the individual wordline drivers in a compact wordline driver and decoder system. An integrated circuit memory comprising an array of memory cells arranged in a plurality of segments, a set of wordlines is coupled to the memory cells in the array, and wordline driver circuitry using shared isolation well MOS transistors coupled to the set of wordlines is provided. The wordline driver circuitry includes a first supply voltage source, a second supply voltage source, a third supply voltage source for the shared isolation well and a set of wordline drivers. The wordline drivers are coupled to the first, second and third supply voltage sources, and selectively drive wordlines in the set of wordlines with a wordline voltage from either the first supply voltage source or the second supply voltage source in response to address signals which identify the respective drivers. The second supply voltage source includes a set of supply voltage selectors. Each supply voltage selector in the set is coupled with a subset of the set of drivers. The subset of drivers is coupled with a respective segment in the array. The supply voltage selectors select a negative erase supply voltage or an erase inhibit supply voltage during an erase mode in response to address signals identifying the respective segments. The selected negative erase supply voltage or erase inhibit supply voltage is applied to the subsets of the set of drivers which are coupled to the respective segment on a segment by segment basis.

An integrated circuit memory array with an extra column of memory cells and a reference bit line is provided, in which the reference bit line acts as a reference for a shared precharging and clamping control on the bit lines in the array. Clamp transistors are coupled to respective bit lines in the array, and adapted to prevent voltage on the respective bit lines from exceeding a target level. A comparator has an input coupled to the reference bit line and an output coupled to the clamp transistors on the plurality of bit lines. The comparator generates a bias voltage which turns on the clamp transistors at a first bias level when the reference bit line has a voltage below the target level, and a second bias level, which is lower than the first bias level, when the reference bit line has a voltage near the target level.

Low power sense amplifier for amplifying a small current difference associated with a memory cell of a memory array is disclosed. The sense amplifier is connected with a memory array having multiple of even columns and multiple of odd columns. A small read current representing the digital data stored at a memory cell is obtained from the memory array via one of the two complementary data lines. The sense amplifier builds a small voltage difference based on a difference between the small read current and a small reference current obtained from a memory array, and amplifies the small voltage difference to produce two amplified signals. One of the amplified signals is selected by the sense amplifier using an even/odd column decoding scheme. The memory array also uses the even/odd column decoding scheme to output the read current to one of the two complementary data lines. A method for how to use the disclosed sense amplifier is also described.
