Abstract:
A non-volatile memory device includes an array of flash memory cells therein and a voltage generator. The voltage generator is configured to generate a program voltage (Vpgm), a pass voltage (Vpass), a blocking voltage (Vblock) and a decoupling voltage (Vdcp) during a flash memory programming operation. The blocking voltage is generated at a level that inhibits inadvertent programming of an unselected memory cell(s). This voltage level of the blocking voltage is set so that Vdcp
Abstract:
Entropy decoding, after encoding, includes performing symbol decoding on a bitstream of a received residual picture in units of two, three, or four symbols according to a context model which is set in the two, three, or four symbol units, and ordering the decoded coefficients of the residual picture in their original order in the frequency domain. Symbol and level decoding may be performed together. A unique symbol value may be used.
