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: The memory device includes a chip with at least one voltage pump and a plurality of planes. The planes have arrays of memory cells that can be programmed and erased. At least some of the planes are at different distances from the at least one voltage pump.

摘要: Methods, systems, and devices for improving write latency and energy using asymmetric cell design are described. A memory device may implement a programming scheme that uses low programming pulses based on an asymmetric memory cell design. For example, the asymmetric memory cells may have electrodes with different contact areas (e.g., widths) and may accordingly be biased to a desired polarity (e.g., negative biased or positive biased) for programming operations. That is, the asymmetric memory cell design may enable an asymmetric read window budget. For example, an asymmetric memory cell may be polarity biased, supporting programming operations for logic states based on the polarity bias.

摘要: A nonvolatile memory device may include a page buffer, a control signal generator, and a current mirror. The page buffer may be connected to a bitline and may allow a replicated current to flow through a ground terminal in response to a first control signal and a second control signal. The control signal generator may output the first control signal and the second control signal to the page buffer. The current mirror may output, in a virtual cell mode, a control voltage corresponding to a bias current. The control voltage may correspond to the first control signal.

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.

摘要: Processing logic in a memory device receives a command to execute a set of read operations having read voltage levels corresponding to a programming distribution associated with the memory device. A set of memory bit counts is determined, where each memory bit count corresponds to a respective bin of a set of bins associated with the multiple read voltage levels of the set of read operations. A valley center bin having a minimum memory bit count of the set of memory bit counts is determined. The processing logic determines that the minimum memory bit count of the valley center bin satisfies a condition and an adjusted read voltage level associated with the valley center bin is identified in response to the condition being satisfied.
