Abstract: The threshold voltage range of a multilevel memory cell may be increased without using a negative voltage pump. In one embodiment, an added positive voltage may be applied to the source of the selected cell. A boost voltage may be applied to the output of a sense amplifier. Non-ideal characteristics of a buffer that supplies the voltage to the selected cell may be compensated for in some embodiments.

Abstract: Methods for programming a memory device and memory devices are provided. According to at least one such method, a selected memory cell is programmed by a series of programming pulses. The series of programming pulses are configured in sets of programming pulses where each set has the same quantity of pulses and each programming pulse in the set has substantially the same amplitude (i.e., programming voltage). The amplitude of the programming pulses of subsequent sets is increased by a step voltage from the previous amplitude.

Abstract: A temperature invariant reference voltage and a temperature variant physical quantity, such as a voltage or current, are generated. The temperature variant physical quantity changes in response to a temperature of the integrated circuit. A temperature sensor circuit generates a voltage that is linearly dependent on the temperature. A level generator circuit generates 2n?1 voltage levels from the reference voltage. A comparator circuit, such as an analog-to-digital circuit, compares the voltage from the temperature sensor to the 2n?1 voltage levels to determine which level is closest. An n-bit digital output of the resulting level is proportional to the temperature of the integrated circuit.
