摘要： Shifts in the apparent charge stored by a charge storage region such as a floating gate in a non-volatile memory cell can occur because of electrical field coupling based on charge stored by adjacent cells. To account for the shift, compensations are applied when reading. When reading a selected word line, the adjacent word line is read first and the data stored in a set of data latches for each bit line. One latch for each bit line stores an indication that the data is from the adjacent word line. The selected word line is then read with compensations based on the different states of the cells on the adjacent word line. Each sense module uses the data from the adjacent word line to select the results of sensing with the appropriate compensation for its bit line. The data from the adjacent word line is overwritten with data from the selected word line at the appropriate time and the indication updated to reflect that the latches store data from the selected word line. The efficient use of the data latches eliminates the need for separate latches to store data from the adjacent word line.

摘要： A non-volatile storage device in which current sensing is performed for a non-volatile storage element. A voltage is applied to a selected word line of the first non-volatile storage element, and source and p-well voltages are applied to a source and a p-well, respectively, associated with the non-volatile storage element. The source and p-well voltages are regulated at respective positive DC levels to avoid a ground bounce, or voltage fluctuation, which would occur if the source voltage at least was regulated at a ground voltage. A programming condition of the non-volatile storage element is determined by sensing a current in a NAND string of the non-volatile storage element. The sensing can occur quickly since there is no delay in waiting for the ground bounce to settle.

摘要： Bit line-to-bit line noise is discharged in a NAND string prior to sensing a programming condition of a selected non-volatile storage element in the NAND string. A source voltage is applied which boosts the voltage in conductive NAND strings. The voltage boost results in capacitive coupling of noise to neighboring NAND strings. A current pull down device is used to discharge each NAND string prior to performing sensing. After each NAND string is coupled to a discharge path for a predetermined amount of time, bit lines of the NAND string are coupled to voltage sense components for sensing the programming condition of the selected non-volatile storage elements based on a potential of the bit lines. The selected non-volatile storage elements may have a negative threshold voltage. Further, a word line associated with the selected non-volatile storage elements may be set at ground.

摘要： A source line bias error caused by a voltage drop in a source line of a non-volatile memory device during a read or verify operation is addressed. In one approach, a body bias is applied to a substrate of the non-volatile memory device by coupling the substrate to a source voltage or a voltage which is a function of the source voltage. In another approach, a control gate voltage and/or drain voltage, e.g., bit line voltage, are compensated by referencing them to a voltage which is based on the source voltage instead of to ground. Various combinations of these approaches can be used as well. During other operations, such as programming, erase-verify and sensing of negative threshold voltages, the source line bias error is not present, so there is no need for a bias or compensation. A forward body bias can also be compensated.

摘要： A non-volatile storage system in which temperature compensation of a bit line voltage is provided during a sense operation of a non-volatile storage element. A gate voltage of a transistor which couples a bit line associated with the non-volatile storage element to a sense module is temperature-compensated so that it is higher when temperature is higher to compensate for variations with temperature of the bit line voltage. The bit line voltage, in turn, varies due to variations in temperature of a threshold voltage of the non-volatile storage element. The sense module determines a programming condition of the non-volatile storage element, which may be provided in a NAND string, by sensing a voltage. The sense operation may be a read operation, verify operation, or erase-verify operation, for instance. Further, the threshold voltage of the non-volatile storage element may be positive or negative. In another aspect, a source voltage is temperature compensated.

摘要： A non-volatile storage device in which current sensing is performed for a non-volatile storage element with a negative threshold voltage. A control gate read voltage is applied to a selected word line of a non-volatile storage element, and source and p-well voltages are applied to a source and a p-well, respectively, associated with the non-volatile storage element. The source and p-well voltages exceed the control gate read voltage so that a positive control gate read voltage can be used. There is no need for a negative charge pump to apply a negative word line voltage even for sensing a negative threshold voltage. A programming condition of the non-volatile storage element is determined by sensing a voltage drop which is tied to a fixed current which flows in a NAND string of the non-volatile storage element.
