    摘要: Memory devices and methods are disclosed to facilitate adjustment of program voltages applied during a program operation based upon erase operation cycle counter values stored in the memory device. In one such embodiment, an erase cycle counter is maintained for each block of a memory device and is stored in the associated block of memory. Programming voltage levels utilized during program operations of memory cells are determined, at least in part, based upon the value of the erase cycle counter stored in a memory block undergoing a programming operation, for example.

    摘要: Apparatus and methods are disclosed, such as those that provide dynamic block allocations in NAND flash memory between single-level cells (SLC) and multi-level cells (MLC) based on characteristics. In one embodiment, a memory controller dynamically switches between programming and/or reprogramming blocks between SLC mode and MLC mode based on the amount of memory available for use. When memory usage is low, SLC mode is used. When memory usage is high, MLC mode is used. Dynamic block allocation allows a memory controller to obtain the performance and reliability benefits of SLC mode while retaining the space saving benefits of MLC mode.

    摘要: A memory device distributed controller circuit distributes memory control functions amongst a plurality of memory controllers. A master controller receives an interpreted command and activates the appropriate slave controllers depending on the command. The slave controllers can include a data cache controller that is coupled to and controls the data cache and an analog controller that is coupled to and controls the analog voltage generation circuit. The respective controllers have appropriate software/firmware instructions that determine the response the respective controllers take in response to the received command.

    摘要: Sensing devices for sensing a programmed state of a floating-gate memory cell are adapted for use in low-power memory devices using supply potentials that can be significantly higher than the maximum potential to be achieved on a local bit line during a sensing operation. Such sensing devices include an input node selectively coupled to a floating-gate memory cell and an output node for providing an output signal indicative of the programmed state of the floating-gate memory cell. Such sensing devices further include a feedback loop coupled between a precharge path and the input node of the sensing device. The feedback loop limits the potential level achieved at the input node of the sensing device, thus limiting the potential level achieved by the bit lines during sensing.

    摘要: Embodiments of the present disclosure may relate to a memory controller that may include a main controller to begin a power down of a non-volatile memory storage during a first time period, while operating in a first voltage range, wherein the main controller is to begin the power down of the non-volatile memory in response to an indication of a voltage level being below a predetermined threshold; and a sequencer to continue the power down of the memory storage during a second time period, while operating within a second voltage range lower than the first voltage range. In some embodiments, the sequencer may include a state machine to perform a discharge sequence, where the state machine includes a micro-action output to output a micro-action command to the memory storage based at least in part on a current state of the state machine. Other embodiments may be described and/or claimed.
