    摘要: A dynamic error correcting table can be embedded on an integrated circuit memory device. The error correcting table includes entries which are created for data when an error is detected and corrected during a read of the data. During subsequent reads, without intervening write or refresh operations, the entry in the table can be used to correct the error by merging the corrected bit with the data output from the array before it is applied to the ECC logic.

    摘要: A memory circuit with a word line driver and control circuitry is disclosed. The word line driver receives a first voltage reference signal, a second voltage reference signal, and an input signal. The word line driver has an output coupled to a word line. The control circuitry is configured to deselect the word line by applying the input signal to the input of the word line driver. For example, in a program operation the word line is deselected to indicate that the word line is not programmed, and another word line is selected to be programmed. During an operation in which the word line is deselected and another word line is selected, the word line discharges through both of a first p-type transistor and a first n-type transistor of the word line driver.

    摘要: The storage layer such as a nitride layer of a nonvolatile memory cell has two storage parts storing separately addressable data, typically respectively proximate to the source terminal and the drain terminal. The applied drain voltage while sensing the data of one of the storage parts depends on the data stored at the other storage part. If the data stored at the other storage part is represented by a threshold voltage exceeding a minimum threshold voltage, then the applied drain voltage is raised. This technology is useful in read operations and program verify operations to widen the threshold voltage window.
