    摘要: The present disclosure includes apparatuses and methods for determining soft data for combinations of memory cells. A number of embodiments include an array of memory cells including a first and a second memory cell each programmable to one of a number of program states, wherein a combination of the program states of the first and second memory cells corresponds to one of a number of data states, and a buffer and/or a controller coupled to the array and configured to determine soft data associated with the program states of the first and second memory cells and soft data associated with the data state that corresponds to the combination of the program states of the first and second memory cells based, at least in part, on the soft data associated with the program states of the first and second memory cells.

    摘要: The memory device has a plurality of memory cells each coupled to a bitline. A feedback transistor is coupled to the bitline and provides voltage feedback on the bitline's precharge status. A biasing transistor is coupled to the feedback transistor. The biasing transistor provides a bias voltage to the feedback transistor in response to a reference voltage on the biasing transistor. A cascode-connected transistor is coupled to the feedback transistor and the biasing transistor. This transistor provides a stable bias voltage to the biasing transistor. An output latch circuit is coupled to the bitline for providing a latched output of the memory cell's data.

    摘要: A plurality of memory cells are programmed with incrementally increased programming pulses applied to word lines to which the memory cells are coupled. After each pulse, a verify operation determines the threshold voltage for each cell. When the threshold voltage reaches a pre-verify threshold, only the bit line connected to that particular cell is biased with an intermediate voltage that slows down the change in the Vt of the cell. The other cells continue to be programmed at their normal pace. As the Vt for each cell reaches the pre-verify level, it is biased with the intermediate voltage. All of the bit lines are biased with an inhibit voltage as their threshold voltages reach the verify voltage threshold.
