摘要: A flash memory includes a program voltage generator, plural memory units, a current limiter, and a multi-bit program control unit. The program voltage generator is used for providing a constant program voltage during a detecting cycle and providing a dynamically-adjustable program voltage during a program cycle. The plural memory units output plural drain currents and plural data line voltages to plural data lines. The current limiter is used for receiving a reference current and a reference voltage, thereby controlling the plural drain currents. During the detecting cycle, a specified data line voltage of the plural data line voltages with the minimum voltage level is detected by the multi-bit program control unit. During the program cycle, the specified data line voltage is used as a feedback voltage, and the dynamically-adjustable program voltage is generated by the program voltage generator according to the feedback voltage.

摘要: A sensing circuit includes a cell clock generator, a reference clock generator, a counter, a latching signal generator, a latch and a count-to-state conversion circuit. The cell clock generator receives a cell current from a selected memory cell, and converts the cell current into a cell clock signal. The reference clock generator converts a reference current into a reference clock signal. The count receives the cell clock signal, and generates a count value. When a pulse number of the reference clock signal reaches a predetermined count value, the latching signal generator activates a latching signal. When the latching signal is activated, the latch issues a latched count value. The count-to-state conversion circuit receives the latched count value, and issues a state value. A storage state of the selected memory cell is determined according to the state value.

摘要: A trimming method for a voltage generator is provided. The voltage generator generates an output voltage according to a reference voltage. The trimming method includes the following steps. Firstly, in a step (a), an initial value of a trimming code is provided. Then, in a step (b), the reference voltage is generated to the voltage generator according to the trimming code, so that the output voltage is correspondingly generated by the voltage generator. Then, in a step (c), an average voltage of the output voltage is compared with a target voltage. If the average voltage does not reach the target voltage, the trimming code is gradually changed, and the step (b) is repeatedly done. If the average voltage reaches the target voltage, the trimming code is locked.
