    摘要: A memory device and programming and/or reading process is described that compensates for memory cell signal line propagation delays, such as to increase the overall threshold voltage range and non-volatile memory cell states available. Memory cell signal line propagation delay compensation can be accomplished by characterizing the memory cell signal line propagation delay, such as determining an amount of error due to the delay, and pre-compensating the programmed threshold voltage of the memory cells based on the amount of error induced by the memory cell signal line propagation delay and cell location on the selected memory cell signal line. Alternatively, memory cell signal line propagation delay can be post-compensated for, or the pre-compensation fine tuned, after sensing the threshold voltages of the selected memory cells based on the amount of error induced by the memory cell signal line propagation delay and cell location on the selected memory cell signal line. Other methods, devices, etc., are also disclosed.

    摘要: In one or more embodiments, a memory device has an adjustable programming window with a plurality of programmable levels. The programming window is moved to compensate for changes in reliable program and erase thresholds achievable as the memory device experiences factors such as erase/program cycles that change the program window. The initial programming window is determined prior to an initial erase/program cycle. The programming levels are then moved as the programming window changes, such that the plurality of programmable levels still remain within the program window and are tracked with the program window changes.

    摘要: A memory device and programming and/or reading process is described that programs a row of non-volatile multi-level memory cells (MLC) in a single program operation to minimize disturb within the pages of the row, while verifying each memory cell page of the row separately. In one embodiment of the present invention, the memory device utilizes data latches to program M-bits of data into each cell of the row and then repurposes the data latches during the subsequent page verify operations to read M+L bits from each cell of the selected page at a higher threshold voltage resolution than required. In sensing, the increased threshold voltage resolution/granularity allows interpretations of the actual programmed state of the memory cell and enables more effective use of data encoding and decoding techniques such as convolutional codes where additional granularity of information is used to make soft decisions reducing the overall memory error rate.
