摘要: Sensing devices for sensing a programmed state of a floating-gate memory cell are adapted for use in low-power memory devices using supply potentials that can be significantly higher than the maximum potential to be achieved on a local bit line during a sensing operation. Such sensing devices include an input node selectively coupled to a floating-gate memory cell and an output node for providing an output signal indicative of the programmed state of the floating-gate memory cell. Such sensing devices further include a feedback loop coupled between a precharge path and the input node of the sensing device. The feedback loop limits the potential level achieved at the input node of the sensing device, thus limiting the potential level achieved by the bit lines during sensing.

摘要: Embodiments of the present disclosure may relate to a memory controller that may include a main controller to begin a power down of a non-volatile memory storage during a first time period, while operating in a first voltage range, wherein the main controller is to begin the power down of the non-volatile memory in response to an indication of a voltage level being below a predetermined threshold; and a sequencer to continue the power down of the memory storage during a second time period, while operating within a second voltage range lower than the first voltage range. In some embodiments, the sequencer may include a state machine to perform a discharge sequence, where the state machine includes a micro-action output to output a micro-action command to the memory storage based at least in part on a current state of the state machine. Other embodiments may be described and/or claimed.

摘要: Threshold voltages in a charge storage memory are controlled by threshold voltage placement, such as to provide more reliable operation and to reduce the influence of factors such as neighboring charge storage elements and parasitic coupling. Pre-compensation or post-compensation of threshold voltage for neighboring programmed aggressor memory cells reduces the threshold voltage uncertainty in a flash memory system. Using a buffer having a data structure such as a lookup table provides for programmable threshold voltage distributions that enables the distribution of data states in a multi-level cell flash memory to be tailored, such as to provide more reliable operation. Additional apparatus, systems, and methods are provided.

摘要: Voltage switches, memory devices, memory systems, and methods for switching are disclosed. One such voltage switch uses a pair of switch circuits coupled in series, each switch circuit being driven by a level shift circuit. Each switch circuit uses a group of series coupled transistors with a parallel control transistor where the number of transistors in each group may be determined by an expected switch input voltage and a maximum allowable voltage drop for each transistor. A voltage of a particular state of an enable signal is shifted up to the switch input voltage by the level shift circuits. The particular state of the enable signal turns on the voltage switch such that the switch output voltage is substantially equal to the switch input voltage.

摘要: Single-ended sensing devices for sensing a programmed state of a floating-gate memory cell are adapted for use in low-voltage memory devices. The sensing device has an input node selectively coupled to the memory cell. The sensing device includes a precharging path for applying a precharge potential to the input node of the sensing device for precharging bit lines prior to sensing the programmed state of the memory cell, and a reference current path for applying a reference current to the input node of the sensing device. The sensing device still further includes a sense inverter having an input coupled to the input node of the sensing device and an output for providing an output signal indicative of the programmed state of the memory cell. The reference current is applied to the input node of the sensing device during sensing of the programmed state of the memory cell.
