    摘要: A clock synchronizing circuit applied in a SMD block is provided. The clock synchronizing circuit includes a number of stages of clock synchronizing units. The clock synchronizing circuit can achieve the purpose of clock synchronizing by using a novel circuit design of the forward delay unit, the mirror control unit or the backward delay unit in each stage of clock synchronizing unit or by using a short-pulse generation circuit to generate a short pulse for triggering out an output clock of each stage of forward delay unit.

    摘要: A method for programming a plurality of multi-level memory cells described herein includes iteratively changing a bias voltage applied to a first memory cell to program the first memory cell to a first threshold state and detecting when the first cell reaches a predetermined threshold voltage. The bias voltage applied to the first memory cell upon reaching the predetermined threshold voltage is recorded. A second memory cell is programmed to a second threshold state by applying an initial bias voltage to the second memory cell which is function of the recorded bias voltage.

    摘要: A method for performing an erase operation is disclosed in a non-volatile memory having a plurality of memory cells. At least one memory cell is programmed having a threshold voltage level in a first region before programming, and after programming the memory cell has a threshold voltage level in a second region, wherein the second region is higher in threshold voltage than the fist region. The erasing operation implements a programming of memory bits that can inject negative charge carriers or electrons into a memory cell instead of using the conventional technique of injecting hot holes into the memory cell. This can avoid room temperature drift and charge loss caused by hot hole injection.

    摘要: A method for checking reading errors of a memory includes the following steps. A first data fragment is received. A first count index according to the first data fragment is generated, wherein the first count index is corresponding to a quantity of one kind of binary value in the first data fragment. The first data fragment is written into the memory. The first data fragment is read from the memory as a second data fragment. A second count index is generated according to the second data fragment. The first count index is compared with the second count index.

    摘要: A method for programming a virtual ground array memory, which includes a first cell and a second cell adjacent to first cell, includes the following steps. First, the first cell is selected as a target cell, wherein the second cell has been programmed to have data. Next, the second cell is read and the data is recorded in a register. Then, the target cell is programmed. Next, a program verifying operation is performed on the second cell. Afterwards, the data recorded in the register is programmed back to the second cell when the program verifying operation performed on the second cell fails.

    摘要: A method for determining read voltage margins in a memory array compares as-read sum codes generated from data read from the memory array with expected sum codes generated from the loaded data. The read voltage (Vt) is stepped and the as-read sum codes are compared to the expected sum codes to determine the Vt range(s) that provides matching sum codes. Multiple read voltage margins (i.e. the read voltage margins between multiple programming levels of the MLC memory array) are determined in a parallel fashion as Vt is stepped across its range.
