    摘要: Non-volatile memory circuits according to the present invention provide a reference memory having multiple reference cells that is shared among a group of sense amplifiers through an interconnect conductor line. The higher number of reference cells for each reference memory generates a greater amount of electrical current for charging multiple source lines. The multiple source lines are coupled to the interconnect conductor bar for capacitance matching with a source line coupled to a memory cell in a main memory array. After a silicon wafer out, measurements to the capacitance produced by the source line in the main memory array and the capacitance produced by the source line in the reference array are taken for an optional trimming. A further calibration in capacitance matching is achieved by trimming one of the source lines that is coupled to the interconnect conductor bar and the reference memory, either by cutting a portion of the source line or adding a portion to the source line.

    摘要: A memory apparatus includes a host device and a slave device. The host device stores verification data. The slave device includes a memory unit, a control unit, and a logic unit. The control unit drives the memory unit to provide storage data in a data transmission sub-period, and further provides a control signal, indicating the first verification data, in a dummy sub-period. The logic unit provides first preamble data, indicating substantially a same data value as the verification data, in the dummy sub-period in response to the first control signal. The preamble data and the storage data are transmitted according to an internal clock signal. The host device samples the first preamble data according to an external clock signal, and determines whether the external and the internal clock signals are synchronized by comparing the first preamble data and the first verification data.

    摘要: A program verification method for a memory device having a virtual array including a plurality of memory cells determines if leakage current passes through one or more neighboring memory cells to the programmed memory cell. The programmed memory cell is verified based on a first threshold state if leakage current is determined to pass through one or more neighboring memory cells. The programmed memory cell is verified based on a second threshold state if the leakage current is not determined to pass through one or more neighboring memory cells.
