摘要: Systems and methods for driving a non-volatile memory device in a standby operating condition are disclosed. A standby detection circuit detects whether the non-volatile memory system is in a standby condition. In response to determining that the non-volatile memory system is in a standby condition, a bias control circuit provides bias currents to drivers of the non-volatile memory system in a standby mode.

摘要: A method for screening memory cells includes erasing the memory cells, weakly programming the memory cells to a modified erased state, performing a first read operation on the memory cells after the erasing and the weakly programming, screening any of the memory cells that exhibit a read current during the first read operation below a margin read current threshold M1, baking the memory cells after the first read operation, performing a second read operation on the memory cells after the baking, and screening any of the memory cells that exhibit a read current during the second read operation below the margin read current threshold M1.

摘要: Systems, methods, and apparatus related to memory devices. In one approach, a memory device has a memory array including memory cells. A controller of the memory device evaluates background leakage in order to select a write voltage to apply to a memory cell when performing a programming operation. The write voltage is dynamically selected from two or more write voltages. These write voltages include a first write voltage that is a normal or default voltage, and a second write voltage that is a boosted write voltage. The controller applies a pre-sensing voltage and pre-read voltage to the memory cell, and determines first and second respective currents that result from applying these voltages. In response to determining that the first current exceeds a first threshold (indicating background leakage), and the second current is below a second threshold that is greater than the first threshold (indicating that the memory cell does not snap), the controller selects the second (boosted) write voltage.

摘要: A read command is received by a processing device coupled to a memory device. The read command specified a logical address. The processing device translates the logical address into a physical address of a physical block of the memory device, wherein the physical address specifies a wordline and a memory device die. Responsive to determining that the physical block is partially programmed, the processing device identifies a threshold voltage offset associated with the wordline. The processing device computes a modified threshold voltage by applying the threshold voltage offset to a read level associated with the memory device die. The processing device reads the data from the physical block using the modified threshold voltage.

摘要: A memory device to program a group of memory cells to store multiple bits per memory cell. Each bit per memory cell in the group from a page. After determining a plurality of read voltages of the group of memory cells, the memory device can read the multiple pages of the group using the plurality of read voltages. For each respective page in the multiple pages, the memory device can determine a count of first memory cells in the respective page that have threshold voltages higher than a highest read voltage, among the plurality of read voltages, used to read the respective page. The count of the first memory cells can be compared with a predetermined range of a fraction of memory cells in the respective page to evaluate the plurality of read voltages (e.g., whether any of the read voltages is in a wrong voltage range).

摘要: A memory device includes a cell group and a control circuit. The cell group includes plural non-volatile memory cells, each capable of storing multi-bit data corresponding to plural program states and an erased state.
