  • Patent number: 11900998
    Abstract: A memory device including a memory array and address lines; and decoder circuitry to apply a first bias to a WL coupled to a memory cell selected for a memory operation, a second bias to a BL coupled to the selected memory cell, and one or more neutral biases to the other BLs and WLs of the memory array; wherein the decoder circuitry comprises a plurality of bias circuits coupled to the address lines, a first bias circuit of the plurality of bias circuits comprising a transistor pair and an additional transistor coupled to an address line of the plurality of address lines, wherein the bias circuit is to apply, to the address line, the first bias through the transistor pair in a first state, the second bias through the transistor pair in a second state, and the neutral bias through the additional transistor in a third state.

  • Patent number: 11114143
    Abstract: A memory decoder enables the selection of a conductor of a row or column of a crosspoint array memory. The decoder includes a circuit to apply a bias voltage to select or deselect the conductor. The conductor can be either a wordline or a bitline. The decoder also includes a select device to selectively provide both high voltage bias and low voltage bias to the circuit to enable the circuit to apply the bias voltage. Thus, a single end device provides either rail to the bias circuit.

  • Publication number: 20200159424
    Abstract: Deck offset techniques for multi-deck non-volatile memory can reduce the average raw bit error rate (RBER) for a memory system. Deck offset can enable accessing different physical decks for the same input deck address. In one example in a system with multiple memory components, different physical decks are accessed across multiple memory components for the same logical deck address. In one example in a system with one memory component, different physical decks are accessed across multiple partitions of the same memory component.
