摘要: A non-volatile memory device and methods for operating the same are provided. The memory device may have multiple complementary memory cells. The method of blank check includes detecting a state value of each of the true and complementary transistors, generating an upper state value, Wherein a first predetermined amount of the true and complementary transistors have greater state values than the upper state value, generating a lower state value, wherein a second predetermined amount of the true and complementary transistors have less state values than the lower state value, generating a state value range based on a difference between the upper state value and the lower state value, and comparing the state value range to a threshold value to determine whether the plurality of complementary memory cells is in a blank state or a non-blank state. Other embodiments are also disclosed herein.

摘要: Techniques for suppression of program disturb in flash memory devices are described herein. In an example embodiment, a method for suppression of program disturb in a flash memory array is provided. The flash memory array comprises rows and columns of memory cells, where the memory cells in each row are coupled to a source line and to a select-gate (SG) line, and the memory cells in each column are coupled to a respective bit line (BL). During a program memory operation, a first voltage, of a selected SG line, and a second voltage, of an unselected BL, are regulated independently of a power supply voltage of the flash memory array, where the first voltage is regulated in a first range of 0.9V to 1.1V and the second voltage is regulated in a second range of 0.4V to 1.2V.

摘要: Techniques for suppression of program disturb in flash memory devices are described herein. In an example embodiment, an apparatus comprises a flash memory device coupled to a microprocessor. The flash memory device comprises rows and columns of memory cells, where the memory cells in each row are coupled to a source line and to a select-gate (SG) line, and the memory cells in each column are coupled to a respective bit line (BL). A control circuit in the flash memory device is configured to regulate both a first voltage, of a selected SG line, and a second voltage, of an unselected BL, independently of a power supply voltage of the flash memory device, and to adjust at least one of the first voltage and the second voltage based on a measure of an operating temperature of the flash memory device.

摘要: Techniques for suppression of program disturb in memory devices are described herein. In an example embodiment, a memory device comprises a flash memory array coupled to a control circuit. The flash memory array comprises rows and columns of memory cells, where the memory cells in each row are coupled to a source line and to a select-gate (SG) line, and the memory cells in each column are coupled to a respective bit line (BL). The control circuit is configured to regulate both a first voltage, of a selected SG line, and a second voltage, of an unselected BL, independently of a power supply voltage of the flash memory array, and to adjust at least one of the first voltage and the second voltage based on a measure of an operating temperature of the memory device.
