    摘要: A memory device comprising a semiconductor substrate in which a memory cell region and a peripheral circuitry region are defined, wherein the memory cell region has a plurality of non-volatile memory cells arranged in one or more arrays and the peripheral circuitry region has at least one sense amplifier region comprised of at least one low voltage transistor. Further, a deep N-well region is formed in the substrate, wherein the memory cell region and the peripheral circuitry region are placed on the deep N-well region such that, in the event that a high erase voltage (VERA) is applied to the memory cell region during an erase operation, the high erase voltage is applied to all terminals of the at least one low voltage resistor, thereby protecting the low voltage transistor by preventing it from experiencing a large voltage difference between its terminals.

    摘要: A data storage system includes a storage medium including a plurality of columns of memory cells, a storage controller coupled to the storage medium, and data path circuitry including a data bus coupled to the storage controller, the data bus configured to receive a plurality of bytes of data to be written to the plurality of columns of memory cells; a block of data latches having a pitch equal to a first number of bit lines of the plurality of columns of memory cells; and column redundancy circuitry configured to pass the plurality of bytes of data to the block of data latches via the plurality of columns in accordance with a nonconsecutive mapping scheme. The nonconsecutive mapping scheme includes mapping each group of three bytes to two columns by splitting one byte of each group of three bytes into two nibbles.
