    摘要: A method for accessing a non volatile memory device including at least one group or sector of memory cells divided into regions programmable with two different data storage densities and accessible with at least two reading modes, for example a two-level mode and a multilevel mode. The memory regions are being organized into pages including a sub-group of memory cells for storing error correction codes of the data stored in the multilevel mode. The method includes providing at the beginning of each page at least one first cell wherein the information concerning the ECC protection or not of the whole page is to be stored. In the sub-group of cells at least one second cell intended for the storage of information concerning the programmed or erased state of the same page is provided. The content of the first and of the second cell is read before accessing, in programming, the corresponding page of the memory region.

    摘要: An output driver circuit offers control and logic level adjustment for high speed data communications in a synchronous memory such as a synchronous dynamic random access memory (SDRAM). Level adjustment is obtained by resistive division between a termination resistor and controllable impedances between an output node and VDD and VSS power supplies. Control functions include slew rate modification of the signal at the output node, by sequentially turning on or off output transistors in response to a transition in an input signal. Different schemes of weighting the output transistors obtains different characteristics of the output signal. Load matching circuitry and voltage level forcing circuitry is described for improving high frequency operation.

    摘要: Disclosed in some examples are methods, systems, memory devices, and machine-readable mediums which increase read throughput by introducing a delay prior to issuing a command to increase the chances that read commands can be executed in parallel. Upon receipt of a read command, if there are no other read commands in the command queue for a given portion (e.g., plane or plane group) of the die, the controller can delay issuing the read command for a delay period using a timer. If, during the delay period, an eligible read command is received, the delayed command and the newly received command are both issued in parallel using a multi-plane read. If no eligible read command is received during the delay period, the read command is issued after the delay period expires.
