    Abstract: A non-volatile semiconductor memory utilizes a sense amplifier to compare the logic state of a memory cell to that of a reference cell. Loads that supply currents to the memory cell and the reference cell form a current mirror, whose amplification factor is controllably dependent on the level of the supply voltage. This configuration renders the sensitivity of the amplifier higher with a lower supply voltage than with a higher supply voltage.

    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for link evaluation for a memory device are described. A memory device may receive signaling over a channel and may identify logic values encoded into the signaling based on sampling the signaling against a reference voltage. The sampling may occur at a reference time within a sampling period. To evaluate a quality (e.g., margin of error) of the channel, the memory device may adjust the reference voltage, the reference time, or both, and either the memory device or the host device may determine whether the memory device is still able to correctly identify logic values encoded into signaling over the channel. In some cases, the channel quality may be evaluated during a refresh cycle or at another opportunistic time for the memory device.

    Abstract: An on-chip test circuit in an integrated circuit memory device includes a test mode terminal and a test data storage circuit having an input coupled to a data terminal of the memory device and an output coupled to a memory-cell array in the memory device. The storage circuit further includes terminals adapted to receive respective read test data and write test data signals. The storage circuit stores bits of data applied on the data terminal when the write test data signal is active. The storage circuit provides on its output the bits of stored data when the read test data signal is active. An error detection circuit includes a first input coupled to the memory-cell array and a second input coupled to the output of the storage circuit. The error detection circuit develops an active error signal on an output when the data on its input is unequal. A test control circuit is coupled to the terminals of the test data storage circuit, and to the test mode terminal. When the test mode signal is active, the test control circuit operates in a first mode to transfer data on the data terminal into the storage circuit, and operates in a second mode to transfer data from the storage circuit to the memory cells in the array. The test control circuit then operates in a third mode to access data stored in the memory cells and in the storage circuit such that the error detection circuit compares the data stored in each addressed memory cell to the data initially transferred to that memory cell.
