    摘要: Apparatus and method for decoding addresses of control lines in a semiconductor device, such as a solid state memory (SSM). In accordance with some embodiments, a switching circuit includes an array of switching devices coupled to 2N output lines and M input lines, wherein M and N are respective non-zero integers and each output line has a unique N-bit address. A decoder circuit coupled to the switching circuit divides the N-bit address for a selected output line into a plurality of multi-bit subgroup addresses, and asserts the M input lines in relation to respective bit values of said subgroup addresses to apply a first voltage to the selected output line and to concurrently apply a second voltage to the remaining 2N-1 output lines.

    摘要: A method and apparatus for reading data from a non-volatile memory cell. In some embodiments, a cross-point array of non-volatile memory cells is arranged into rows and columns that are each controlled by a line driver. A read circuit is provided that is capable of reading a logical state of a predetermined memory cell by differentiating a non-integrated first reference value from a non-integrated second reference value. Further, each reference value is measured immediately after configuring the column corresponding to the predetermined memory cell to produce a first and second amount of current.
