摘要: The memory device includes a plurality of memory blocks that can individually operate in either a multi-bit per memory cell mode or a single-bit per memory cell mode. Certain voltage parameters during programming and reading are shared between these two operating modes, and certain voltage parameters are unique to each operating mode. One unique voltage parameter is a pass voltage VREADK that is applied to word lines adjacent a selected word line being read. Another unique voltage parameter is a VSGD voltage that is applied to a select gate drain transistor during programming. Yet another unique voltage parameter is an inhibit voltage that is applied to a bit line coupled with a memory cell being inhibited from programming while other memory cells are programmed.

摘要: A memory apparatus and method of operation are provided. The apparatus includes memory cells connected to word lines and disposed in memory holes each comprising a channel. The memory cells retain a threshold voltage and are operable in one of a first read condition in which a word line voltage of the word lines is discharged and a second read condition in which the word line voltage of the word lines is coupled up to a residual voltage level. A control means is configured to apply a predetermined refresh read voltage to the word lines at predetermined intervals of time during a refresh read operation to maintain the memory cells in the second read condition. The control means also adjusts a read setup time in which the word lines are ramped up and the channel is discharged during a read operation based on occurrences of the refresh read operation.

摘要: Technology is disclosed herein for smart verify in a memory system that has a four bit per cell program mode (or X4 mode) and also a three bit per cell program mode (or X3 mode). The X3 mode uses a three-bit gray code that is based on a four-bit gray code of the X4 mode. The memory system skips verify of states in the X3 mode, while using a considerable portion of the programming logic from the X4 mode. In one X3 mode the memory system skips B-state verify while the number of memory cells having a Vt above an A-state verify voltage is below a threshold. In one X3 mode the memory system determines whether to skip verify for a first set of data states based on a first test and determines whether to skip verify for a second set of data states based on a second test.

摘要: Apparatus and methods are described to program memory cells and control bit line discharge schemes during programming based on the data pattern. The memory controller can predict program data pattern based on SLC pulse number and TLC data completion signals and use these signals to adjust when the inhibited bit lines can discharge. Once a TLC program operation have more one data, the memory controller will enable EQVDDSA_PROG to equalize to VDDSA, and then discharge. In SLC program, the memory controller will enable EQVDDSA_PROG only in first program pulse and disable it thereafter.
