20110107160TIME-BASED TECHNIQUES FOR DETECTING AN IMMINENT READ FAILURE IN A MEMORY ARRAY - A technique for detecting an imminent read failure in a memory array includes determining a first incident count for a memory array that does not exhibit an uncorrectable error correcting code (ECC) read during an array integrity check. In this case, the first incident count corresponds to an initial number of ECC corrections that are performed when the array integrity check of the memory array initially fails. The technique also includes determining a current count for the memory array when the memory array does not exhibit an uncorrectable ECC read during subsequent array integrity checks. In this case, the current count corresponds to a subsequent number of error correcting code (ECC) corrections required during the subsequent array integrity checks. An indication of an imminent read failure for the memory array is provided when the current count exceeds the first incident count by a predetermined amount.05-05-2011
20110107161THRESHOLD VOLTAGE TECHNIQUES FOR DETECTING AN IMMINENT READ FAILURE IN A MEMORY ARRAY - A technique for detecting an imminent read failure in a memory array includes determining whether a memory array, which does not exhibit an uncorrectable error correcting code (ECC) read during an initial array integrity check at a normal read verify voltage level, exhibits an uncorrectable ECC read during a subsequent array integrity check at a margin read verify voltage level. The technique also includes providing an indication of an imminent read failure for the memory array when the memory array exhibits an uncorrectable ECC read during the subsequent array integrity check. In this case, the margin read verify voltage level is different from the normal read verify voltage level.05-05-2011

A non-volatile memory includes a plurality of blocks, a test block which stores test data corresponding to each of the plurality of blocks, and a flash control coupled to the plurality of blocks and the test block, the flash control determining a soft program verify voltage level for a particular block of the plurality of blocks based on the test data for the particular block when the particular block is being soft programmed.02-05-2009
20090168541ELECTRICAL ERASABLE PROGRAMMABLE MEMORY TRANSCONDUCTANCE TESTING - A test method determines if an array of a Flash EEPROM circuit has a bit cell with a transconductance (gm) that is deficient. The method preconditions all bit cells of the array to a particular programmed state and then determines whether any of the bit cells exhibit undesirable operating characteristics by reading each bit cell to determine whether its transconductance is less than desirable.07-02-2009
20090296464METHOD FOR ELECTRICALLY TRIMMING AN NVM REFERENCE CELL - An integrated circuit memory has a plurality of non-volatile memory cells and a reference cell. The reference cell provides a reference current for reading a selected memory cell of the plurality of non-volatile memory cells. A method comprises trimming the reference cell to a predetermined threshold voltage, wherein trimming the reference cell comprises biasing a control gate, a source terminal, a drain terminal, and a substrate terminal of the reference cell with a predetermined set of bias conditions, wherein in response to the predetermined set of bias conditions, the reference cell will gain or lose charge toward an asymptotic state of charge that no longer changes significantly after a predetermined operating time under the predetermined set of bias conditions. In addition, the integrated circuit memory is also configured to adjust the reference cell gate voltage to output a desired target current reference.12-03-2009
