摘要:
Column select circuits having improved immunity to supply potential noise during sensing of the programmed state of a target memory cell are suited for use in low-voltage memory devices. Such column select circuits contain driver circuits having a filtered path and an unfiltered path for applying a supply potential to a gate of a pass transistor. The unfiltered path is utilized during a first sensing phase, such as during decoding or precharging of the bit lines, when transition speed of the pass transistors is desired. The filtered path is utilized at least during a second sensing phase while the sensing device is detecting the programmed state of the target memory cell. By reducing the noise of the supply potential using the filtered path, margins are improved on the sensing device and the sensing device is thus capable of operating at lower supply potentials.

摘要:
A plurality of memory cells are programmed with incrementally increased programming pulses applied to word lines to which the memory cells are coupled. After each pulse, a verify operation determines the threshold voltage for each cell. When the threshold voltage reaches a pre-verify threshold, only the bit line connected to that particular cell is biased with an intermediate voltage that slows down the change in the Vt of the cell. The other cells continue to be programmed at their normal pace. As the Vt for each cell reaches the pre-verify level, it is biased with the intermediate voltage. All of the bit lines are biased with an inhibit voltage as their threshold voltages reach the verify voltage threshold.

摘要:
A single latch circuit is coupled to each bit line in a multiple level cell memory device to handle reading multiple data bits. The circuit is comprised of a latch having an inverted node and a non-inverted node. A first control transistor selectively couples the non-inverted node to a latch output. A second control transistor selectively couples the inverted node to the latch output. A reset transistor is coupled between the inverted node and circuit ground to selectively ground the circuit when the transistor is turned on.
