  • Publication number: 20220230685
    Abstract: A storage apparatus includes non-volatile memory cells formed on a memory die, each memory cell configured to hold bits of data, and a control circuit. The control circuit is configured to calculate parity data for data to be stored in the memory cells and program the memory cells to first distributions. The control circuit is also configured to read memory cells in the first distributions, recover the data from results of reading the memory cells in the first distributions combined with the parity data, and further program the memory cells from the first distributions to second distributions to store the data. To improve the accuracy of recovering the encoded foggy phase data, techniques are presented to calibrate the voltage levels used in sensing the foggy state distributions.

  • Patent number: 11264066
    Abstract: The present disclosure describes various exemplary memory storage devices that can be programmed to write electronic data into one or more memory cells in a write mode of operation and/or to read the electronic data from the one or more memory cells in a read mode of operation. The various exemplary memory storage devices can select various control lines to read the electronic data from the one or more memory cells onto data lines and/or to write the electronic data from these data lines into the one or more memory cells. In some situations, these data lines are charged, also referred to as pre-charged, to a first logical value, such as a logical one, before the various exemplary memory storage devices write the electronic data into the one or more memory cells. During this pre-charging of these data lines, the various exemplary memory storage devices electrically isolate these data lines from specialized circuitry within these exemplary memory storage devices.
