    Abstract: Embodiments of methods and systems disclosed herein provide a NAND cell programming technique that results in a substantially reduced Tprog to complete a programming operation. In particular, embodiments of the subject matter disclosed herein utilize two Vpgm programming pulses during each programming iteration, or loop. One of the two programming pulses corresponds to a conventional programming Vpgm pulse and the second pulse comprises a programming pulse that having a greater Vpgm that is greater than the conventional programming Vpgm so that the slow cells are programmed to PV in fewer pulses (iterations), thereby effectively simultaneously programming and verifying cells having different programming speeds.

    Abstract: A method, a memory chip controller of a flash memory device, and a flash memory device. The memory chip controller includes processing circuitry to receive data for a first page of N pages of data; and program cells of a memory location of the device to an nth threshold voltage level Ln, Ln corresponding to a program verify voltage level PVn, n being an integer from 0 to 2N−1, and Ln being one of 2N threshold voltage levels achievable using the N pages of data. Programming the cells includes: programming the cells based on the data for the first page while receiving data for subsequent pages of the N pages; and programming the cells based on the data for the subsequent pages, wherein programming the cells includes, for at least n=1, causing a respective dynamic start voltage (DSV) to be applied to the cells based on each respective page number p of the N pages for which data is received at the memory chip controller for the memory location to achieve PV1.

    Abstract: Examples herein relate to determining a number of defective bit lines in a memory region prior to applying a program or erase voltages. If a threshold number of bit lines that pass during a program or erase verify operation is used to determine if the program or erase operation passes or fails, the determined number of defective bit lines can be used to adjust the determined number of passes or fails. In some cases, examples described herein can avoid use of extra bit lines and look-up table circuitry to use in place of defective bit lines and save silicon space and cost associated with the use of extra bit-lines. In some examples, a starting magnitude of a program voltage signal can be determined by considering a number of defective bit lines.

    Abstract: An apparatus and/or system is described including a memory device or a controller for the memory device to perform heating of the memory device. In embodiments, a controller is to receive a temperature of the memory device and determine that the temperature is below a threshold temperature. In embodiments, the controller activates a heater for one or more memory die to assist the memory device in moving the temperature towards the threshold temperature, to assist the memory device when reading data. In embodiments, the heater comprises a plurality of conductive channels included in the one or more memory die or other on-board heater. Other embodiments are disclosed and claimed.

    Abstract: Systems, apparatuses and methods may provide for identifying a target sub-block of NAND strings to be partially or wholly erased in memory and triggering a leakage current condition in one or more target select gate drain-side (SGD) devices associated with the target sub-block. Additionally, the leakage current condition may be inhibited in one or more remaining SGD devices associated with remaining sub-blocks of NAND strings in the memory. In one example, triggering the leakage current condition in the one or more target SGD devices includes setting a gate voltage of the one or more target SGD devices to a value that generates a reverse voltage that exceeds a threshold corresponding to the leakage current condition.

    Abstract: A non-volatile memory interface employs concurrent memory operations for read operation preemption and includes transaction control logic configured to resume a suspended write operation concurrently with at least a portion of the transfer of read data from a non-volatile memory for a read operation which preempted the write operation. Memory control logic of the memory interface is configured to issue to the write operation suspend logic, a write operation resume command. The transaction control logic may be further configured to automatically suspend performing of a write operation in response to receipt of a read command. The transaction control logic may also be configured to automatically resume a previously suspended write operation in response to completion of a preemptive read operation by the memory.
