    Abstract: A regulator comprises an amplifier, a bias circuit, and a current trimming circuit. The bias circuit is coupled to the amplifier and supplies a first bias current to the amplifier in a first mode of a system including the regulator. The current trimming circuit is coupled to the bias circuit to adjust the first bias current.

    Abstract: The storage layer such as a nitride layer of a nonvolatile memory cell has two storage parts storing separately addressable data, typically respectively proximate to the source terminal and the drain terminal. The applied drain voltage while sensing the data of one of the storage parts depends on the data stored at the other storage part. If the data stored at the other storage part is represented by a threshold voltage exceeding a minimum threshold voltage, then the applied drain voltage is raised. This technology is useful in read operations and program verify operations to widen the threshold voltage window.

The applied drain voltage while sensing the data of one of the storage parts depends on the data stored at the other storage part; the different parts can be in different, neighboring memory cells. If the data stored at the other storage part is represented by a threshold voltage exceeding a minimum threshold voltage, then the applied drain voltage is raised. This technology is useful in read operations and program verify operations to widen the threshold voltage window.

    Abstract: A method for programming a memory including a plurality of memory cells is provided. The method comprises selecting a current cell and executing a pre-program verify operation at a first program verify level. The method comprises executing a program and program verify operation for the current cell, including applying a sequence of program pulses and performing program verify steps. The sequence includes a starting pulse having a starting magnitude. The program verify steps use a second program verify level. The method also comprises determining the starting magnitude for a next cell as a function of a magnitude of the program pulse in an instance of the program verify step in which the current cell passes verify at the second program verify level.
