摘要： The embodiments described herein are directed to a memory device with multi level, write-once memory cells. In one embodiment, a memory device has a memory array comprising a plurality of multi-level write-once memory cells, wherein each memory cell is programmable to one of a plurality of resistivity levels. The memory device also contains circuitry configured to select a group of memory cells from the memory array, and read a set of flag bits associated with the group of memory cells. The set of flag bits indicate a number of times the group of memory cells has been written to. The circuitry is also configured to select a threshold read level appropriate for the number of times the group of memory cells has been written to, and for each memory cell in the group, read the memory cell as an unprogrammed single-bit memory cell or as a programmed single-bit memory cell based on the selected threshold read level.

摘要： A non-volatile memory core comprises one or more memory bays. Each memory bay comprises one or more memory blocks that include a grouping of non-volatile storage elements. In one embodiment, memory blocks in a particular memory bay share a group of read/write circuits. During a memory operation, memory blocks are transitioned into active and inactive states. The process of transitioning blocks from an inactive state to an active state includes enabling charge sharing between a memory block entering the active state and another memory block that was previously in the active state. This charge sharing improves performance and/or reduces energy consumption for the memory system.

摘要： A non-volatile storage system connects a signal driver to a first control line that is connected to a first non-volatile storage element, charges the first control line using the signal driver while the signal driver is connected to the first control line, disconnects the signal driver from the first control line while the first control line remains charged from the signal driver, connects the signal driver to a second control line that is connected to a second non-volatile storage element, charges the second control line using the signal driver while the signal driver is connected to the second control line, and disconnects the signal driver from the second control line. Charging the control lines causes the respective non-volatile storage elements to experience a program operation. The disconnecting of the signal driver from the first control line, the connecting the signal driver to the second control line and the charging of the second control line are performed without waiting for the first non- volatile storage element's program operation to complete.

摘要： A technique for efficiently handling write operation failures in a memory device which communicates with an external host device allows a page of data to be re-written to a memory array from a page buffer. The host provides user data, a first write address and a write command to the memory device. If the write attempt fails, the host provides a re-write command with a new address, without re-sending the user data to the memory device. Additional data can be received at a data cache of the memory device while a re-write from the page buffer is in progress. The re-written data may be obtained in a copy operation in which the data is read out to the host, modified and written back to the memory device. Additional data can be input to the memory device during the copy operation. Page buffer data can also be modified in place.

摘要： A three-dimensional array is especially adapted for memory elements that reversibly change a level of electrical conductance in response to a voltage difference being applied across them. Memory elements are formed across a plurality of planes positioned different distances above a semiconductor substrate. A two-dimensional array of bit lines to which the memory elements of all planes are connected is oriented vertically from the substrate and through the plurality of planes. During sensing, to compensate for word line resistance, a sense amplifier references a stored reference value during sensing of a memory element at a given location of the word line. A layout with a row of sense amplifiers between two memory arrays is provided to facilitate the referencing. A selected memory element is reset without resetting neighboring ones when it is subject to a bias voltage under predetermined conditions.

摘要： A non-volatile storage system includes technology for skipping programming cycles while programming a page (or other unit) of data. While programming a current subset of the page (or other unit) of data, the system will evaluate whether the next subsets of the page (or other unit) of data should be programmed into non-volatile storage elements or skipped. Subsets of the page (or other unit) of data that should not be skipped are programmed into non¬ volatile storage elements. Some embodiments include transferring the appropriate data to temporary latches/registers, in preparation for programming, concurrently with the evaluation of whether to program or skip the programming.
