Abstract:
A method of programming a storage device comprises determining whether at least one open page exists in a memory block of a nonvolatile memory device, and as a consequence of determining that at least one open page exists in the memory block, closing the at least one open page through a dummy pattern program operation, and thereafter performing a continuous writing operation on the memory block.
Abstract:
A nonvolatile memory device includes a memory cell array, a page buffer unit which output a verify-read result, a reference current generating unit which generates a reference current signal, a page buffer decoding unit which outputs currents according to the verify-read result. The nonvolatile memory device further includes an analog bit counting unit which counts the currents, a digital adding unit which calculates an accumulated sum of the counting result, a pass/fail checking unit which outputs a pass signal or fail signal according to the calculation result, and a control unit controlling a program operation.

Abstract:
In a method of writing data in a memory device, a plurality of duplicated bit rows is generated by performing a first duplication operation in which a plurality of bits included in write data are copied by units of bits. A plurality of duplicated bit groups is generated by performing a second duplication operation in which the plurality of duplicated bit rows is copied by units of rows. The plurality of duplicated bit groups is stored into a plurality of memory regions included in the memory device, respectively. Each of the plurality of memory regions is a region that is simultaneously sensed during a data read operation.
Abstract:
In a processing in memory (PIM) method using a memory device, m*n multiplicand arrangement bits are stored in m*n memory cells by copying and arranging m multiplicand bits of a multiplicand value and m*n multiplier arrangement bits are stored in m*n read-write unit circuits corresponding to the m*n memory cells by copying and arranging n multiplier bits of a multiplier value. The m*n multiplicand arrangement bits stored in the m*n memory cells are selectively read based on the m*n multiplier arrangement bits stored in the m*n read-write unit circuits, and m*n multiplication bits are stored in the m*n read-write unit circuits based on the selectively read m*n multiplicand arrangement bits. A multiplication value of the multiplicand value and the multiplier value is determined based on the m*n multiplication bits stored in the m*n read-write unit circuits.
