摘要: A processing device determines a plurality of computing error metrics that are indicative of operational characteristics between programming distributions within the memory device. The processing device performs a program targeting operation on a memory cell of the memory device to calibrate one or more program verify (PV) targets associated with the programming distributions. Performing the program targeting operation comprises the processing device selecting a rule from a predefined set of rules based on the plurality of computing error metrics, wherein the predefined set of rules corresponds to an adjusting of a PV target of a last programming distribution. In addition, the processing device adjusts, based on the selected rule, the one or more PV targets of a plurality of PV targets associated with the programming distributions, wherein the one or more PV targets correspond to one or more respective voltage values for programming memory cells of the memory device.

摘要: Systems, methods, and apparatus related to memory devices. In one approach, a cross-point memory array includes memory cells. A media controller reads one or more first memory cells and determines a read status. The read status indicates an error when reading the first memory cells. In response to this error, the controller refreshes the first memory cells. The controller uses the read status to determine zero-to-one failures associated with the first memory cells. If a number of these failures exceeds a threshold, then a refresh is applied to neighboring memory cells of the first memory cells. The physical addresses for the neighboring memory cells are determined by the controller from the physical addresses for the first memory cells.

摘要: Disclosed herein are related to a system and a method for adjusting a read voltage threshold to read data from a plurality of memory dies of a nonvolatile memory device. Each of the plurality of memory dies comprises a plurality of blocks. A controller in communication with the plurality of memory dies may read, from a first block of the plurality of blocks, data corresponding to a read command received from a host. The controller may determine a bit error rate for the first block based on the data. The controller may update the read voltage threshold for the first block when the bit error rate for the first block exceeds a first error threshold. The read voltage threshold may be stored in the controller.

摘要: In an approach to a implementing a PUF based on a PCM array, for each PCM device in an array of PCM devices, the PCM device is reset to an initial state. A first conductance of the PCM device is measured. A predetermined number of partial set pulses is applied to the PCM device. A second conductance of the PCM device is measured. Responsive to determining that the second conductance is greater than the first conductance multiplied by a factor, a PUF value of the PCM device is set to logical “1”. Responsive to determining that the second conductance is less than the first conductance multiplied by a factor, a PUF value of the PCM device is set to logical “0”. The PUF value of the PCM device is added to an overall PUF string for the array of PCM devices.

摘要: Methods, systems, and devices for varying-polarity read operations for polarity-written memory cells are described. Memory cells may be programmed to store different logic values based on applying write voltages of different polarities to the memory cells. A memory device may read the logic values based on applying read voltages to the memory cells, and the polarity of the read voltages may vary such that at least some read voltages have one polarity and at least some read voltages have another polarity. The read voltage polarity may vary randomly or according to a pattern and may be controlled by the memory device or by a host device for the memory device.

摘要: According to one embodiment, a memory system includes a nonvolatile memory and a memory controller. The memory controller is configured: to store, in a buffer, a data set read from a cell unit, and an expected data set generated by an error correction on the data set; to count a number of first and second memory cells corresponding to a first and a second combination of data in the data set and the expected data set, respectively, among the memory cells in the cell unit; to calculate a shift amount of a read voltage used in a read operation from the cell unit, based on the number of the first and second memory cells; and to apply the shift amount to a next read operation from the first cell unit.
