Abstract: A system includes a memory device including a memory array and control logic operatively coupled with the memory array. The memory array includes a target cell connected to a target wordline, a first cell connected to a first adjacent wordline adjacent to the target wordline, and a second cell connected to a second adjacent wordline adjacent to the target wordline. The control logic performs operations including causing a read to be performed with respect to the first cell to obtain an adjacent wordline read result, storing the adjacent wordline read result using a first set of page buffers, causing an incremental read to be performed with respect to the second cell and a first bin to obtain a first incremental read result, and storing the first incremental read result using a second set of page buffers.

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 a circuit 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 circuit coupled to the dynamic memory element can perform a first 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.

Abstract: Memory devices might include a first latch to store a first data bit; a second latch to store a second data bit; a data line selectively connected to the first latch, the second latch, and a string of series-connected memory cells; and a controller configured to bias the data line during a programing operation of a selected memory cell. The controller may with the first data bit equal to 0 and the second data bit equal to 0, bias the data line to a first voltage level; with the first data bit equal to 1 and the second data bit equal to 0, bias the data line to a second voltage level; with the first data bit equal to 0 and the second data bit equal to 1, bias the data line to a third voltage level; and with the first data bit equal to 1 and the second data bit equal to 1, bias the data line to a fourth voltage level.
