    摘要: A method for double programming of multi-level-cell (MLC) programming in a multi-bit-cell (MBC) of a charge trapping memory that includes a plurality of charge trapping memory cells is provided. The double programming method is conducted in two phrases, a pre-program phase and a post-program phase, and applied to a word line (a segment in a word line, a page in a word line, a program unit or a memory unit) of the charge trapping memory. A program unit can be defined by input data in a wide variety of ranges. For example, a program unit can be defined as a portion (such as a page, a group, or a segment) in one word line in which each group is selected for pre-program and pre-program-verify, either sequentially or in parallel with other groups in the same word line.

    摘要: A serial flash memory and an address transmission method thereof. The serial flash memory selectively addresses a first memory space according to a first address length or addresses a second memory space according to a second address length longer than the first address length. If the first memory space is addressed according to the first address length, a first memory address is completely received within an address time duration so that data corresponding to the first memory address is initially outputted from a starting clock. In the address transmission method, if the second memory space is addressed according to the second address length, a portion of a second memory address is received within the address time duration. The other portion of the second memory address is received within a waiting time duration so that data corresponding to the second memory address is initially outputted from the starting clock.

    摘要: A method for testing a memory includes the following steps. First, data is read from the memory and stored to a first temporary memory. Meanwhile, expected data corresponding to the data from the memory is written into a second temporary memory from a tester. Thereafter, the data in the first temporary memory and the expected data in the second temporary memory are compared with each other to judge whether the memory has an enough operation window.

    摘要: A method for programming a plurality of multi-level memory cells described herein includes iteratively changing a bias voltage applied to a first memory cell to program the first memory cell to a first threshold state and detecting when the first cell reaches a predetermined threshold voltage. The bias voltage applied to the first memory cell upon reaching the predetermined threshold voltage is recorded. A second memory cell is programmed to a second threshold state by applying an initial bias voltage to the second memory cell which is function of the recorded bias voltage.
