Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices related to counter-based sense amplifier method for memory cells are described. The counter-based read algorithm may comprise the following phases: storing in a counter associated to an array of memory cells the value of the number of bits having a predetermined logic value of the data bits stored in the memory array; reading from said counter the value corresponding to the number of bits having the predetermined logic value; reading the data stored in the array of memory cells by applying a ramp of biasing voltages; counting the number of bits having the predetermined logic value during the data reading phase; stopping the data reading phase when the number of bits having the predetermined logic value is equal to the value stored in said counter.

Abstract: A method including storing user data in memory cells of a memory array, storing, in a counter associated to the memory cells, count data corresponding to a number of bits in the user data having a predetermined first logic value, applying a read voltage to the memory cells to read the user data, applying the read voltage to the cells of the counter to read the count data and to provide a target value corresponding to the number of bits in the user data having the first logic value. During the application of the read voltage, the count data and the user data are read simultaneously such that the target value is provided during the reading of the user data. The application of the read voltage is stopped when the number of bits in the user data having the first logic value corresponds to the target value.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a memory device comprising an array of memory cells arranged in a multideck configuration comprising a plurality of superimposed decks, a plurality of access lines comprising at least a first plurality of access lines arranged in a first level, a second plurality of access lines arranged in a second level, and a third plurality of access lines arranged in a third level between the first plurality of access lines and the second plurality of access lines, the third plurality of access lines being arranged between two decks of the plurality of decks, a plurality of drivers configured to drive signals to the access lines, and connection elements configured to electrically connect the access lines to the respective drivers. The connections elements and the access lines are arranged so that a single driver of the plurality of drivers is configured to drive at least one access line of each level of the at least three levels. Related memory systems and methods are also disclosed.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a method for accessing memory cells comprising: applying an increasing read voltage with a first polarity to the plurality of memory cells; counting a number of switching memory cells in the plurality based on the applying the increasing read voltage; applying a first read voltage with the first polarity based on the number of switched memory cells reaching a threshold number; applying a second read voltage with a second polarity opposite to the first polarity; and determining that a memory cell in the plurality of memory cells has a first logic value based on the memory cell having switched during one of the applying the increasing read voltage and the applying the first read voltage or based on the memory cell not having switched during the applying the second read voltage. A related system is also disclosed.
