    Abstract: When writing a multi-state non-volatile memory, a de-trapping operation is included in the programming cycle. To reduce the performance penalty of including a de-trapping operation, the programming cycle of a single series of increasing pulses alternating with verify operations is replaced with a cycle including a pulse from each of two or more staircases, where each staircase is for a corresponding subset of the data states. After the multiple pulses, but before the following verify, a de-trapping operation is inserted in the programming cycle.

    Abstract: Techniques are provided for efficiently performing programming operations in a memory device. In particular, power consumption is reduced in sensing circuitry by avoiding pre-charging of bit lines for certain memory cells at certain times during a programming operation. One approach uses knowledge of the different phases of a programming operation to reduce the number of unnecessary bit line pre-charges. For example, during the lower program loop numbers of a programming operation, bit line pre-charging may occur for lower data states but not for higher data states. Similarly, during the higher program loop numbers, bit line pre-charging may occur for higher data states but not for lower data states. In another approach, which may or may not incorporate knowledge of the different phases of a programming operation, the setting of the bit line pre-charge can be updated at least once after it is initially set in the verify portion.

    Abstract: A system is disclosed for reading hard bit information and soft bit information from non-volatile storage. Some of the hard bit information and/or soft bit information is read concurrently by using different bit line voltages, different integration times, different sense levels within the sense amplifiers, or other techniques. A method is disclosed for determining the hard bits and soft bits in real time based on sensed hard bit information and soft bit information.
