摘要:
An apparatus may include a processor circuit a processor circuit to retrieve data from a non-volatile memory, and a multistrobe read module operable on the processor circuit to set a read operation to read a memory cell over a multiplicity of sense operations, where each sense operation is performed under a different sense condition. The multistrobe read module may be further operable to schedule a new sense operation to succeed a prior sense operation of the multiplicity of sense operations without recharge of the wordline when a value of one or more read condition is within a preset range. Other embodiments are disclosed and claimed.
摘要:
Methods for accelerating charge equilibrium in a non-volatile memory device using floating gate memory cells are disclosed. Memory devices and storage systems using charge equilibrium acceleration are also disclosed. In one such method, a programming pulse is applied to the word line to change an amount of charge stored on the floating gate of the memory cells being programmed. A reverse field pulse is then applied to the memory cell using only voltages greater than or equal to about 0 volts. The reverse field pulse accelerates charge equilibrium by moving any electrons trapped in the insulating oxide layers to a stable location so that the threshold voltage is stabilized. After the reverse field pulse, a program verify operation is performed and additional programming pulses and reverse field pulses are applied as needed to properly program the memory cell.

摘要:
Embodiments of methods and systems disclosed herein provide a NAND cell programming technique that results in a substantially reduced Tprog to complete a programming operation. In particular, embodiments of the subject matter disclosed herein utilize two Vpgm programming pulses during each programming iteration, or loop. One of the two programming pulses corresponds to a conventional programming Vpgm pulse and the second pulse comprises a programming pulse that having a greater Vpgm that is greater than the conventional programming Vpgm so that the slow cells are programmed to PV in fewer pulses (iterations), thereby effectively simultaneously programming and verifying cells having different programming speeds.
摘要:
Apparatus, methods, and systems are disclosed, including those to improve program voltage distribution width using automatic selective slow program convergence (ASSPC). One such method may include determining whether a threshold voltage (Vt) associated with a memory cell has reached a particular pre-program verify voltage. In response to the determination, a voltage applied to a bit-line coupled to the memory cell may be automatically incremented at least twice as the program voltage is increased, until the cell is properly programmed. Additional embodiments are also described.
摘要:
The threshold voltage range of a multilevel memory cell may be increased without using a negative voltage pump. In one embodiment, an added positive voltage may be applied to the source of the selected cell. A boost voltage may be applied to the output of a sense amplifier. Non-ideal characteristics of a buffer that supplies the voltage to the selected cell may be compensated for in some embodiments.
