摘要: Two or more physical memory cells are grouped together to form a logical cell that stores one of N possible levels. Within each logical cell, the memory cells can be programmed using different mechanisms. For example, one or more of the memory cells in a logical cell can be programmed using a coarse programming mechanism, one or more of the memory cells can be programmed using a fine mechanism, and one or more of the memory cells can be programmed using a tuning mechanism. This achieves extreme programming accuracy and programming speed.

摘要: Numerous embodiments of analog neural memory arrays are disclosed. In one embodiment, an analog neural memory system comprises an array of non-volatile memory cells, wherein the cells are arranged in rows and columns, the columns arranged in physically adjacent pairs of columns, wherein within each adjacent pair one column in the adjacent pair comprises cells storing W+ values and one column in the adjacent pair comprises cells storing W− values, wherein adjacent cells in the adjacent pair store a differential weight, W, according to the formula W=(W+)−(W−). In another embodiment, an analog neural memory system comprises a first array of non-volatile memory cells storing W+ values and a second array storing W− values.
