    摘要: Circuitry and methods for restoring data values in non-volatile memory are disclosed. An integrated circuit includes a memory access circuit and a sensing circuit configured to sense a data signal during a read operation to at least one two-terminal non-volatile cross-point memory array. Each memory array includes a plurality of two-terminal memory cells. A plurality of the memory arrays can be fabricated over the substrate and vertically stacked on one another. Further, the integrated circuit can include a margin manager circuit configured to manage a read margin for the two-terminal memory cells substantially during the read operation, thereby providing for contemporaneous read and margin determination operations. Stored data read from the two-terminal memory cells may have a value of the stored data restored (e.g., re-written to the same cell or another cell) if the value is not associated with a read margin (e.g., a hard programmed or hard erased state).

    摘要: A memory device verify system determines a state of memory cells in a memory. The memory includes a memory array having a plurality of memory cells coupled to bit lines. A verify circuit is coupled to the bit lines to determine if memory cells have a erase level that is within predetermined upper and lower limits. The verify circuit can include first and second comparators. In one embodiment, the first comparator is used to compare a bit line current with an upper first reference current. The second comparator is used to compare a bit line current with a lower second reference current. The comparator circuit is not limited to reference currents, but can use reference voltages to compare to a bit line voltage. The verify circuit, therefore, eliminates the need for separate bit line leakage testing to identify over-erased memory cells.

    摘要: A flash memory device that can detect short circuits in local and global bit lines. The flash memory device has a plurality of sets of adjacent local bit lines, a plurality of global bit lines and a plurality of select transistors. Each select transistor has a control gate and is coupled between one of the local bit lines in each set of local bit lines and one of the global bit lines. Thus, each local bit line in each set of local bit lines is coupled to a different global bit line. Multiple select lines are used to activate the control gates on the select transistors. Each select line is coupled to the control gates on associated select transistors. The associated select transistors are select transistors that are coupled to the local bit lines in an associated set of local bit lines.

    摘要: A flash memory array arrangement having a plurality of erase blocks which can be separately erased. The erase blocks have separate source lines, the state of which is controlled by a source line decoder. In array read, program and erase operations, the source lines of the deselected erase blocks, the blocks that are not being read, programmed or erased, are set to a high impedance level. If a cell in one of the deselected erase blocks is defective in some respect such that the cell is conducting leakage current, the high impedance source line associated with the cell will reduce the likelihood that the defective cell will prevent proper operation of the selected erase block.
