Abstract:
A nonvolatile memory system is operated by performing a program loop on each of a plurality of memory cells, each program loop comprising at least one program-verify operation and selectively pre-charging bit lines associated with each of the plurality of memory cells during the at least one program-verify operation.
Abstract:
A flash memory device controls a common source line voltage and performs a program verify method. A plurality of memory cells is connected between a bit line and the common source line. A data input/output circuit is connected to the bit line and is configured to store data to be programmed in a selected memory cell of the plurality of memory cells. The data input/output circuit maintains data to be programmed within the data input/output circuit during a program verify operation, and decreases noise in the common source line by selectively precharging the bit line based on the data to be programmed.
Abstract:
A non-volatile memory device includes a feedback circuit and a precharge switching transistor. The feedback circuit generates a feedback signal based on a voltage level of a bitline during a precharge operation. The precharge switching transistor, in response to the feedback signal, controls a precharge current for precharging the bitline. The speed of the precharge operation may be increased and/or mismatch of the bias signals in precharging a plurality of bitlines may be reduced.

Abstract:
Provided are an optical coupler, which can improve miniaturization and integration, and an active optical module comprising the same. The optical coupler comprises a hollow optical block having a through hole formed to pass an optical fiber therethrough. The hollow optical block comprises at least one incidence plane, at least one internal reflection plane, and at least one tapering region. The incidence plane is disposed at the bottom of the hollow optical block, which is parallel to the through hole, to incident-transmit light. The internal reflection plane is disposed at the top of the hollow optical block, which is opposite to the incidence plane, to reflect the light, which is received from the incidence plane, into the hollow optical block. The tapering region is configured to concentrate the light on the optical fiber in the through hole. The tapering region is formed such that the outer diameter of the hollow optical block decreases away from the internal reflection plane and the incidence plane.
Abstract:
A system for accessing a node of a private network includes an assigning portion for assigning external port values to respective network nodes based on information collected from the network nodes of the private network, and storing the assigned external port values; an exchanging portion for exchanging the external port values of the respective network nodes of private networks; and an address converting portion for converting the external port values into corresponding private IP addresses and internal port values when a network node of one private network accesses another network node of another private network by using the external port values of another network node of another private network. Accordingly, a network node of a private network without a global IP address becomes accessible.
Abstract:
To program in a nonvolatile memory device include a plurality of memory cells that are programmed into multiple states through at least two program steps, a primary program is performed from an erase level to a first target level with respect to the memory cells coupled to a selected word line A preprogram is performed from the erase level to a preprogram level in association with the primary program with respect to the memory cells coupled to the selected word line, where the preprogram level is larger than the erase level and smaller than the first target level A secondary program is performed from the preprogram level to a second target level with respect to the preprogrammed memory cells coupled to the selected word line.
Abstract:
A method is provided for reading data in a nonvolatile memory device. The method includes performing a first read operation on multiple multi-level memory cells (MLCs), performing a first sensing operation on at least one flag cell corresponding to the MLCs, selectively performing a second read operation on the MLCs based on a result of the first sensing operation, and performing a second sensing operation on the at least one flag cell when the second read operation is performed. Read data is output based on results of the first read operation and the first sensing operation when the second read operation is not performed, and the read data is output based on result of the first read operation, the first sensing operation, the second read operation and the second sensing operation when the second read operation is performed. The read data corresponds to programmed data in the MLCs.
