    Abstract: A decode switch and a method for controlling a decode switch are provided. The decode switch includes a power source providing a first voltage, a source capacitance coupled to the power source, and a target capacitance coupled to the power source. The power source charges the source capacitance to the first voltage. The source capacitance is connected to the target capacitance and the source capacitance charges the target capacitance to a second voltage. The power source charges the target capacitance from the second voltage to the first voltage.

    Abstract: An integrated circuit memory device includes an array of non-volatile, charge trapping memory cells, configured to store data values in memory cells in the array using threshold states, including a higher threshold state characterized by a minimum threshold exceeding a selected read bias. A controller includes a stand-by mode, a write mode and a read mode. Retention check logic executes on power-up, or during the stand-by mode, to identify memory cells in the higher threshold state which fail a threshold retention check. Also, logic is provided to reprogram the identified memory cells.

    Abstract: Techniques are described herein for detecting and recovering over-erased memory cells in a flash memory device. In one embodiment, a flash memory device includes a memory array including a plurality of blocks of memory cells. The device also includes a command interface to receive a command from a source external to the memory device. The device also includes a controller including logic to perform a leakage-suppression process in response to the command. The leakage-suppression process includes performing a soft program operation to increase a threshold voltage of one or more over-erased memory cells in a given block of memory cells and establish an erased state.
