    摘要: Providing for single and multi-bit error correction of electronic memory is described herein. As an example, error correction can be accomplished by establishing a suspect region between bit level distributions of a set of analyzed memory cells. The suspect region can define potential error bits for the distributions. If a bit error is detected for the distributions, error correction can first be applied to the potential error bits in the suspect region. By identifying suspected error bits and limiting initial error correction to such identified bits, complexities involved in applying error correction to all bits of the distributions can be mitigated or avoided, improving efficiency of bit error corrections for electronic memory.

    摘要: Providing for a serial array memory transistor architecture that achieves high read speeds compared with conventional serial array memory is described herein. By way of example, the serial array memory can be connected to and can drive a gate voltage of a small capacitance pass transistor, to facilitate sensing memory transistors of the serial array. The pass transistor modulates current flow or voltage at an adjacent metal bitline, which can be utilized to sense a program or erase state(s) of the memory transistors. Due to the small capacitance of the pass transistor, read latency for the serial array can be significantly lower than conventional serial array memory (e.g., NAND memory). Further, various mechanisms for forming an amplifier region of the serial array memory comprising discrete pass transistor are described to facilitate efficient fabrication of the serial array memory transistor architecture.

    摘要: A non-volatile memory device and data comparison circuit are described that facilitate the comparison of data between two blocks of data, such as the I/O buffer or data cache of a memory and the sense amplifiers, that allow for simple and rapid comparison of data bits and results in a signal flag indicating a data match or a mis-match. This allows for a simple parallel data bit comparison capability that allows a fast initial comparison result without requiring a time-consuming individual bit-by-bit data comparison. In one embodiment, two data blocks to be compared are divided into a number of paired segments, wherein each pair of segments are compared in parallel by a data comparison circuit, such that a mis-match can be located to the affected data segments or the results logically combined to indicate a match or mis-match for the complete data blocks.
