    摘要: A memory array architecture includes a plurality of memory cells formed into rows and columns. A plurality of bit lines is connected to the memory cells through select transistors. By disposing adjacent bit lines into different metal layers or alternatively interlocating adjacent bit lines, the coupling effect between bit lines can be effectively reduced, and thus can improve reading speed of memory while performing read operation.

    摘要: A method and structure for testing embedded flash memory including a memory array and a logic element. A control transistor is disposed and is connected between a sense amplifier and an I/O buffer in the memory array, and a speed control pin connected to the logic element in one terminal is coupled to the gate terminal of the control transistor in the other terminal to switch the control transistor on or off. Turning off the control transistor after a test time by the speed control pin closes the channel between the sense amplifier and I/O buffer, and an output signal from the memory array to a test system connected to the logic element is detected with the test system to determine an access time of the memory array.

    摘要: A current source providing an output current with a fixed current range includes a bias circuit, a resistor, a current mirror, and a controller. The bias circuit provides a first voltage weighted with a first tunable coefficient and a second voltage weighted with a second tunable coefficient. The resistor has a tunable resistance for determining a bias current according to a voltage difference between the first and the second voltages and the tunable resistance. The current mirror generates the output current according to the bias current. The controller adjusts the tunable resistance and one of the first and the second tunable coefficients to achieve a voltage-current coefficient with different values, while the bias current and the output current are kept within a fixed current range.

    摘要: A memory and an operating method thereof are provided therein. When searching a boundary of a threshold voltage distribution of the memory, data errors resulted from tail bits of the memory would be corrected. Therefore, a sensing window could be broader, and the boundary of the threshold voltage distribution could be determined precisely.
