  • Publication number: 20240233825
    Abstract: A system includes a memory device having one or more planes and a first set of voltage regulators coupled to each plane of the one or more planes, where the first set of voltage regulators is shared by the one or more planes. The system includes a second set of voltage regulators coupled to a plane of the one or more planes configured to supply a respective voltage to one or more conductive lines responsive to a memory access operation request. The system includes a switch, at the plane of the one or more planes, coupled with a first voltage regulator of the first set of voltage regulators, a second voltage regulator of the second set of voltage regulators, and a first conductive line, the switch configured to selectively couple the second voltage regulator of the second set of voltage regulators to the first conductive line.

  • Publication number: 20230134281
    Abstract: A memory device includes an array of memory cells configured as single-level cell memory and control logic operatively coupled to the array of memory cells. The control logic performs operations including: causing hardware initialization of a set of sub-blocks that are to be programmed within the array of memory cells; causing a first sub-block of the set of sub-blocks to be preconditioned for a program operation; causing multiple pages of data to be programmed to respective ones of the set of sub-blocks; and selectively causing a program verify to be performed on memory cells of the set of sub-blocks after programming the multiple pages of data.

  • Patent number: 10134481
    Abstract: Methods of operating a memory include storing a first target data state of multiple possible data states of a first memory cell to be programmed in a target data latch coupled to a data node, storing at least one bit of a second target data state of the multiple possible data states of a second memory cell to be programmed in an aggressor data latch coupled to the data node, and programming the first memory cell and performing a program verify operation for the first target data state to determine if the first memory cell is verified for the first target data state.
