    摘要: Flash memory devices have a plurality of memory cells that can be erased and programmed. Performing a voltage verification check allows a for an appropriate state-change voltage to be applied to the flash memory device. The appropriate state-change voltage is determined though accessing a look-up table. Using an appropriate state-change voltage allows a cell to operate with more overall programming cycles.

    摘要: An apparatus comprising a two or three dimensional array of a plurality of pairs of non-volatile memory (“NVM”) cells coupled to enable program and erase of the NVM cells. The plurality of pairs of NVM cells is electrically connected to word lines and bit lines. Each pair of NVM cells comprises a first memory cell and a second memory cell. The first and second memory cells comprise a first source/drain, a second source/drain, and a control gate. The first source/drain of the first memory cell is connected to one of the bit lines. The second source/drain of the first memory cell is connected to the first source/drain of the second memory cell. The second source/drain of the second memory cell is connected to another one of the bit lines. The control gates of the first and second memory cells are connected to different word lines.

    摘要: Providing differentiation between overlapping memory cell bits in multi-cell memory devices is described herein. By way of example, select groups of memory cells of the multi-cell memory devices can be iteratively disabled to render state distributions of remaining, non-disabled memory cells, non-overlapped. System components can measure distributions rendered non-overlapped to uniquely identify states of such distributions. Identified state distributions can subsequently be disabled to render other state distributions non-overlapped, and therefore identifiable. In such a manner, read errors associated with overlapped bit states of multi-cell memory devices can be mitigated.
