    Abstract: A method for minimizing program disturb in Flash memories. To reduce program disturb in a NAND Flash memory cell string where no programming from the erased state is desired, a local boosted channel inhibit scheme is used. In the local boosted channel inhibit scheme, the selected memory cell in a NAND string where no programming is desired, is decoupled from the other cells in the NAND string. This allows the channel of the decoupled cell to be locally boosted to a voltage level sufficient for inhibiting F-N tunneling when the corresponding wordline is raised to a programming voltage. Due to the high boosting efficiency, the pass voltage applied to the gates of the remaining memory cells in the NAND string can be reduced relative to prior art schemes, thereby minimizing program disturb while allowing for random page programming.

    Abstract: A memory system architecture has serially connected memory devices. The memory system is scalable to include any number of memory devices without any performance degradation or complex redesign. Each memory device has a serial input/output interface for communicating between other memory devices and a memory controller. The memory controller issues commands in at least one bitstream, where the bitstream follows a modular command protocol. The command includes an operation code with optional address information and a device address, so that only the addressed memory device acts upon the command. Separate data output strobe and command input strobe signals are provided in parallel with each output data stream and input command data stream, respectively, for identifying the type of data and the length of the data. The modular command protocol is used for executing concurrent operations in each memory device to further improve performance.

    Abstract: A Flash memory system architecture having serially connected Flash memory devices to achieve high speed programming of data. High speed programming of data is achieved by interleaving pages of the data to be programmed amongst the memory devices in the system, such that different pages of data are stored in different memory devices. A memory controller issues program commands for each memory device. As each memory device receives a program command, it either begins a programming operation or passes the command to the next memory device. Therefore, the memory devices in the Flash system sequentially program pages of data one after the other, thereby minimizing delay in programming each page of data into the Flash memory system. The memory controller can execute a wear leveling algorithm to maximize the endurance of each memory device, or to optimize programming performance and endurance for data of any size.

    Abstract: In a phase change memory, an input data corresponding to a plurality of memory cells is received and a previous data is read from the plurality of memory cells. The input data is compared with the previous data. In the case where the input data is different from the previous data for one or more of the plurality of memory cells and a write count is less than a maximum value, one or more of the plurality of memory cells is programmed with the input data and the write count is updated or incremented. Such operations of data comparison and update of the write count are repeated. If the write count reaches the maximum value, it will be determined that the writing is falied.
