Abstract: A storage device includes a nonvolatile memory (NVM) device having a plurality of memory blocks and a control circuit configured to perform a read for copy-back operation in response to a receipt of a corresponding command. The control circuit performs the read for copy-back operation by reading page data from a source memory block of the plurality, generating a syndrome from the read page data, outputting the syndrome, receiving error location data in response to outputting the syndrome, correcting the read page data using the received error location data, and writing the corrected read page data to a target memory block among the plurality.

Abstract: A memory system includes a memory device and a memory controller. The memory device includes a plurality of memory cells. The memory controller is configured to manage the memory device using a cell level assignment with respect to a plurality of memory cell levels, determine a cell count for each of the cell levels associated with original data of the memory device that is to be accessed, predict an error rate from the cell counts, and selectively adjust the cell level assignment based on the error rate.

Abstract: An apparatus and method are provided for memory programming, including receiving a first write data unit including a plurality of data bits; programming by at least one pulse the plurality of data bits to the plurality of memory cells; determining if a number of cells successfully programmed by the at least one pulse is less than a threshold; and if the number of cells successfully programmed by the at least one pulse is less than the threshold, compressing a sparse vector of unsuccessfully programmed data bits, receiving another write data unit, concatenating the vector based on the other write data unit, and programming the concatenated vector to another plurality of memory cells.

Abstract: A method of denoising intrinsic sneak currents in a PRAM memory array of M wordlines and N bitlines includes receiving, by the PRAM memory array, an input read address; and selecting from a table of wordline distances from a sense-amplifier versus estimated optimal currents for those wordline distances an estimated optimal reference current for a distance closest to the received input read address. The reference current determines whether a read current is ‘0’ or ‘1’ and minimizes a bit error rate due to effects of sneak paths and parasitic elements that distorts the read current.

Abstract: A solid-state drive (SSD) may include a volatile buffer such as DRAM, a non-volatile memory (NVM) such as NAND Flash connected to the volatile buffer, and a capacitor connected to both, where the capacitor may have an energy capacity insufficient to supply the buffer and NVM using a normal supply voltage in a normal mode, but sufficient to supply the buffer and NVM using at least one reduced supply voltage in a temporary mode; and a related method may include programming data to the NVM by temporarily reducing the supply voltage to the NVM, and writing data to the NVM using the reduced supply voltage.
