摘要: A decoder is disclosed with error correction for memory data. The decoder's error correction is extended to additional faulty bits by integrating a memory test into the error correction to identify faulty bits in the memory data. A method for correction can include writing a known pattern to the failing address (and possibly to neighboring addresses), reading the known pattern back and comparing the read data to the written pattern to identify the failing bits. The failing bits are then used together with the error correction data to correct memory data having multiple incorrect bits or to alert other components about the failing bit locations.

摘要: A device includes memory cells, a reference circuit, and a sensing unit. The reference circuit includes a first reference switch, a second reference switch, and reference storage units. The first reference switch is turned on when a reference word line is activated. The second reference switch is turned on when the reference word line is activated. The reference storage units include a first reference storage unit and a second reference storage unit. The first reference storage unit generates a first signal having a first logic state when the first reference switch is turned on. The second reference storage unit generates a second signal having a second logic state when the second reference switch is turned on. The sensing unit determines a logic state of the bit data of one of the memory cells according to the first signal and the second signal.

摘要: A memory controller includes a voltage driver and a voltage comparator. The voltage driver applies a variable voltage to a selected line of a crossbar array to determine a first measured voltage that drives a first read current through a selected memory cell of the crossbar array. The voltage driver applies the variable voltage to the selected line to determine a second measured voltage that drives a second read current through the selected memory cell. The voltage comparator then determines a voltage difference between the first measured voltage and the second measured voltage and to compare the voltage difference with a reference voltage difference to determine a state of the selected memory cell. The crossbar array comprises a plurality of row lines, a plurality of column lines, and a plurality of memory cells. Each memory cell is coupled between a unique combination of one row line and one column line.

摘要: In one embodiment, a sense amplifier circuit includes two current paths. Each path includes a transistor configured as a current source during a memory read operation and a second transistor. During the first phase of a memory read operation, the first current path is coupled to one cell and the second current path is coupled to a second cell. The sense amplifier circuit includes a capacitor that during a first phase of a memory read operation, is coupled between two corresponding nodes of the two paths to store a voltage difference between the two nodes. During the second phase, the cell/current path couplings are swapped and the capacitor is coupled to the control terminal of one of the second transistors to control the conductivity of the transistor for adjusting a voltage of an output node to indicate the value of the data being read.

摘要: According to an example, in a method for determining a resistance state of a cell in a crossbar memory array, a first read voltage may be applied across a cell to sense a first cell current. In addition, a second read voltage may be applied across the cell to sense a second cell current. A difference value between the first cell current and the second cell current may be identified and a resistance state of the cell may be determined based on the difference value.
