    Abstract: This disclosure concerns memory kink compensation. One method embodiment includes applying a number of sequentially incrementing programming pulses to a memory cell, with the sequential programming pulses incrementing by a first programming pulse step voltage magnitude. A seeding voltage is applied after applying the number of sequentially incrementing programming pulses. A next programming pulse is applied after applying the seeding voltage, with the next programming pulse being adjusted relative to a preceding one of the sequentially incrementing programming pulses by a second programming pulse step voltage magnitude. The second programming pulse step voltage magnitude can be less than the first programming pulse step voltage magnitude.

    Abstract: Methods and apparatus are disclosed, such as those involving a flash memory device that includes an array of memory cells. One such method includes detecting values of charges stored in selected memory cells in the memory cell array. The method also includes processing the detected values in accordance with a Viterbi algorithm so as to determine data stored in the selected memory cells. In one embodiment, the flash memory cell array includes word lines and bit lines. Detecting the values of charges includes detecting values of charges stored in a selected row of memory cells by selecting one of the word lines. The Viterbi algorithm provides correct data where inter-signal interference between the cells affects the accuracy of read data. For example, the Viterbi algorithm can be used to supplement error correction codes (ECC).

    Abstract: The present disclosure includes methods, devices, modules, and systems for operating memory cells. One method embodiment includes applying a ramping voltage to a control gate of a memory cell and to an analog-to-digital converter (ADC). The aforementioned embodiment of a method also includes detecting an output of the ADC at least partially in response to when the ramping voltage causes the memory cell to trip sense circuitry.
