    Abstract: Systems and methods for reducing peak power supply current in a non-volatile memory system that includes a plurality of memory die are described. In some cases, prior to a first memory die of the plurality of memory die performing a particular memory operation (e.g., a programming operation), the first memory die may poll other memory die of the plurality of memory die to determine a total peak power supply current for the plurality of memory die. In response to detecting that the total peak power supply current for the plurality of memory die is at or above a peak current threshold (e.g., more than 200 mA), the first memory die may delay the performance of the particular memory operation or slow down the performance of the particular memory operation.

    Abstract: A programming operation for a set of non-volatile storage elements determines whether the storage elements have been programmed properly after a program-verify test is passed and a program status=pass is issued. Write data is reconstructed from sets of latches associated with the storage elements using logical operations optionally one or more reconstruction read operations. Normal read operations are also performed to obtain read data. A number of mismatches between the read data and the reconstructed write data is determined, and determination is made as to whether re-writing of the write data is required based on the number of the mismatches.

    Abstract: A mechanism is presented memory circuits, such a NAND-type flash memories, to autonomously protect themselves from temporary and short power drops. A detection mechanism looks for the supply voltage to drop below a function voltage for a period of time. When such an event occurs, a suspend mechanism is activated, and after completing the last micro-operation (such as a program pulse) the memory freezes. When power is again stable at an operational level, the suspended operation is resumed. The memory controller can then be notified upon occurrence of such voltage drop by polling a special status bit. Examples of how the pausing can be implemented include altering of clock signals and suspending sub-phases of larger operations.

    Abstract: A non-volatile memory with multiple memory dice manages simultaneous operations so as to not exceed a system power capacity. A load signal bus is pulled up with a strength proportional to the system power capacity. Each die has a driver to pull down the bus by an amount corresponding to its degree of power need as estimated by a state machine of the die. The bus therefore provides a load signal that serves as arbitration between the system power capacity and the cumulative loads of the individual dice. The load signal is therefore at a high state when the system power capacity is not exceeded; otherwise it is at a low state. When a die wishes to perform an operation and requests a certain amount of power, it drives the bus accordingly and its state machine either proceeds with the operation or not, depending on the load signal.

    Abstract: Sense circuits in a memory device can be pre-charged to different levels in a sensing process to reduce the amount of time used for sensing. For example, in a program operation, a memory cell is in a fast programming mode until its threshold voltage exceeds an offset verify voltage (VO) of a data state. The offset verify voltage is below a final verify voltage (VF) of the data state. When the threshold voltage is between VO and VF, the memory cell is in a slow programming mode. A verify test at VO for one memory cell can be performed concurrently with a verify test at VF for another memory cell by pre-charging a sense circuit for the one memory cell to a higher voltage than a sense circuit for the another memory cell. A common discharge period and trip condition can be used.
