摘要： The lowest programmed state in multi-state non-volatile flash memory devices can suffer from an increased level of bit line to bit line capacitive charge coupling when compared with other states. Program voltages applied to memory cells as increasing voltage pulses can be incremented using smaller values when programming memory cells to the lowest programmable state. Smaller increments in the applied voltage allow for greater precision and a narrower threshold voltage distribution to compensate for the disproportionate charge coupling experienced by cells programmed to this state. Smaller increment values can be used when switching from lower page to upper page programming in some implementations. In a pipelined programming architecture where cells forming a physical page store two logical pages of data and programming for one logical page begins before receiving data for the other logical page, the increment value can be increased when switching from programming the first logical page to programming both pages concurrently.

摘要： The present invention that partitions a memory array in N segments by switchably partitioning the bit lines in the array. In the exemplary embodiment, a top set of sense amps control the even bit lines and a bottom set of sense amps control the odd bit lines. The segmentation transistors turn on or off depending on the selected word line location in the array. Since bit line capacitance is mainly from the metal bit line to bit line coupling to their immediate neighbors, the bit line neighbors in the partitioned array are floating in some segments of the bit lines. The overall bit line capacitance is significantly reduced with a negligible increase in die size, resulting in reduced sensing times and enhanced read and write performance.

摘要： In a non-volatile memory system, when it is discovered that the voltage pump pulse provided by a charge pump for programming the memory cells does not match a reference voltage, the programming time period of the voltage pump pulse is adjusted to a value that remains substantially unchanged until the end of the programming cycle. In this manner, the fluctuation in the effective programming time period of the programming pulses is prevented for the remainder of the programming cycle so that a broadening of the threshold voltage distribution will not occur or will be reduced. This feature allows a short programming time period to be designated for the programming pulses for enhanced performance, while allowing the flexibility of increased program time period when the charge pump is operating under conditions that causes it to be slow and/or weak.
