    摘要: A read leveling method for a memory device is provided. The memory device includes a first memory block and at least a second memory block. The read leveling method includes the following steps. Determining whether a block read count of the first memory block is larger than or equal to a first threshold. Detecting a page read count of a page of the first memory block when the block read count of the first memory block is larger than or equal to the first threshold. Determine whether the block read count of the first memory block is larger than or equal to a second threshold. Move data of one of the page of the first memory block to a page of the second memory block when the block read count of the first memory block is larger than or equal to the second threshold.

    摘要: A method for programming a memory device comprises the following steps: performing an interleaving programming, including: programming a first memory cell during a first time interval and correspondingly verifying the first memory cell during a second time interval; programming a second memory cell during a third time interval and correspondingly verifying the second memory cell during a fourth time interval between the first and second time intervals; and inserting at least one dummy cycle between the first and second time intervals to ensure that a resistance change per unit of time of the first memory cell is less than a threshold.

    摘要: A method is provided for operating a memory device including an array of memory cells including programmable resistive memory elements. Memory cells in the array are programmed to store data by applying program pulses to the memory cells to establish resistance levels within a number N of specified ranges of resistance, where each of the specified ranges corresponds to a particular data value. A drift recovery process is executed to the memory cells, including applying a recovery pulse having a pulse shape to a set of programmed memory cells, where memory cells in the set have resistance levels within two or more of the specified resistance ranges.

    摘要: A method for generating a classification model using a training data set. An iterative procedure for training an ANN model, in which an iteration includes selecting a small sample of training data from a source of training data, training the model using the sample, using the model in inference mode over a larger sample of the training data, and reviewing the results of the inferencing. The results can be evaluated to determine whether the model is satisfactory, and if it does not meet specified criteria, then cycles of sampling, training, inferencing and reviewing results (STIR cycles) are repeated in an iterative process until the criteria are met. A classification engine trained as described herein is provided.
