摘要:
Various embodiments are generally directed to an apparatus, method and other techniques to retrieve data from a non-volatile memory, and to read a memory cell of the non-volatile memory at a first set of sense conditions comprising a multiplicity of sense conditions. Embodiments also include an apparatus, method and other techniques to set a first set of bits in an encoded output, the first set of bits comprising a logical state bit to indicate a logical state of the memory cell and one or more additional bits in the encoded output to indicate accuracy of the logical state bit based upon results of the read at the first set of sense conditions, the first set of sense conditions comprising a greater number than that of the first set of bits.

This disclosure concerns memory cell sensing. One or more methods include determining a data state of a first memory cell coupled to a first data line, determining a data state of a third memory cell coupled to a third data line, transferring determined data of at least one of the first and the third memory cells to a data line control unit corresponding to a second data line to which a second memory cell is coupled, the second data line being adjacent to the first data line and the third data line, and determining a data state of the second memory cell based, at least partially, on the transferred determined data.

Embodiments of the invention describe methods, systems and apparatuses to improve solid state device (SSD) write speed by efficiently utilizing error correction code executed for the device. SSDs may be comprised of several NAND memory devices. It is understood that such devices tend to have a raw bit error rate (RBER) that is related to the program/erase cycle count for the device.Embodiments of the invention efficiently use system ECC by changing the operating conditions of the SSD to better utilize the robustness of the implemented ECC algorithm. For example, embodiments of the invention may alter the programming voltage supplied to an SSD to increase write speed; such an increase may increase the RBER of the device, but will not affect the accuracy of such operations due to the ECC that is provisioned for end of life storage fidelity (i.e., the RBER that will occur at the end of life).
摘要:
An apparatus and method for pre-charging an intermediate node for high-speed wordlines for accessing memory cells in high-speed memory arrays. The apparatus pre-charges a local capacitance located between a wordline supply voltage and the wordline to a voltage level that is greater than the wordline supply voltage. Once the wordline is selected, the charge stored on the local capacitance may be quickly shared with the capacitance of the wordline. The wordline supply voltage may be applied to the local capacitance to provide small, incremental voltage to move the wordline to its final voltage thereby improving the response time of the system.

In accordance with one embodiment, a serial sensing scheme may be utilized to sense the information stored on a multilevel cell. The more significant bit of the information in the cell may sense initially. The more significant bit information may be used to determine which of at least two reference levels to utilize to determine a less significant bit of the cell.

An apparatus may include a processor circuit a processor circuit to retrieve data from a non-volatile memory, and a multistrobe read module operable on the processor circuit to set a read operation to read a memory cell over a multiplicity of sense operations, where each sense operation is performed under a different sense condition. The multistrobe read module may be further operable to schedule a new sense operation to succeed a prior sense operation of the multiplicity of sense operations without recharge of the wordline when a value of one or more read condition is within a preset range. Other embodiments are disclosed and claimed.

A multi-level cell memory device performs a read by providing a stepped voltage waveform on a wordline, and comparing cell currents to a substantially constant reference current. Prior to the application of the stepped voltage waveform, the wordline may share charge with another circuit node.
