    Abstract: An embodiment of the present invention is disclosed to include a nonvolatile memory system for controlling erase operations performed on a nonvolatile memory array comprised of rows and columns, the nonvolatile memory array stores digital information organized into blocks with each block having one or more sectors of information and each sector having a user data field and an extension field and each sector stored within a row of the memory array. A controller circuit is coupled to a host circuit and is operative to perform erase operations on the nonvolatile memory array, the controller circuit erases an identified sector of information having a particular user data field and a particular extension field wherein the particular user field and the particular extension field are caused to be erased separately.

    Abstract: A non-uniform switching based non-volatile magnetic memory element includes a fixed layer, a barrier layer formed on top of the fixed layer, a first free layer formed on top of the barrier layer, a non-uniform switching layer (NSL) formed on top of the first free layer, and a second free layer formed on top of the non-uniform switching layer. Switching current is applied, in a direction that is substantially perpendicular to the fixed layer, barrier layer, first free layer, non-uniform switching layer and the second free layer causing switching between states of the first free layer, second free layer and non-uniform switching layer with substantially reduced switching current.

    Abstract: A multi-level NAND architecture non-volatile memory device reads and programs memory cells, each cell storing more than one bit of data, by comparing to a constant current level while selectively adjusting the gate voltage on the cell or cells being read or programmed. A plurality of read and write reference cells are provided each programmed to correspond to one each of the multi-level programming wherein during reading of the memory cells, the read reference cells provide the constant current level and during writing to the memory cells, the write reference cells provide the same. Furthermore, during a read operation, corresponding write reference cells are coupled to read reference cells to gauge the reading time associated with reading of memory cells.
