    摘要: Modulation of the source voltage in a NAND-flash array read waveform can enable improved read-disturb mitigation. For example, increasing the source line voltage to a voltage with a magnitude greater than the non-idle source voltage during the read operation when the array is idle (e.g., not during sensing) enables a reduction in read disturb without the complexity arising from the consideration of multiple read types. Additional improvement in FN disturb may also be obtained on the sub-blocks in the selected SGS by increasing the source line voltage during the selected wordline ramp when the array is idle.

    摘要: A semiconductor memory device includes a comparator that outputs a signal switched in synchronism with a read enable signal from outside and outputs the signal, and a correction circuit that adjusts the duty cycle of the signal. The correction circuit includes a variable current source connected to a first output portion of the comparator, and a variable current source connected to a second output portion of the comparator, and adjusts the amounts of current output from the current sources to adjust the duty cycles of signals.

    摘要: A memory and a sense amplifying device are provided. The sense amplifying device includes a differential amplifier, a first pre-charge circuit, and a control voltage generator. The differential amplifier has a first input terminal and a second input terminal to receive a data signal and a reference signal, respectively. The first pre-charge circuit is coupled to the first input terminal of the differential amplifier. The first pre-charge circuit, based on a power voltage, performs a pre-charge operation on the first input terminal of the differential amplifier according to a pre-charge enable signal and a control voltage. The control voltage generator generates the control voltage according to the power voltage, and the control voltage and the power voltage are in a positive correlation.

    摘要: Methods, systems, and devices for power management associated with memory and a controller are described. A memory system performs a power management operation that accounts for power usage by any combination of application specific integrated circuits (ASICs) and memory arrays. The power management operation includes multiple logical unit numbers (LUNs) assigned to a single ASIC, which increases a quantity of bits for communicating a power usage. An ASIC included in a memory system may utilize twice as many bits for communicating power usage information when compared to a NAND array. As part of the power management operation, an ASIC may transmit, to a controller, a first set of bits indicating a power usage of the ASIC, a first subset of the set of bits transmitted during a first instance of a token ring and a second subset of the set of bits transmitted during a second instance of the token ring.
