PROGRAMMABLE PEAK-CURRENT CONTROL IN NON-VOLATILE MEMORY DEVICES

摘要

A method includes, in a memory device, receiving a command that specifies a peak power consumption that is not to be exceeded by the memory device. A memory of the memory device is configured in accordance with the peak power consumption specified in the command. A data storage operation in the configured memory is performed, while complying with the specified peak power consumption.

1. An apparatus, comprising:
a memory including a plurality of memory cells; and control circuitry configured to:
apply at least a first programming pulse to a subset of memory cells of the plurality of memory cells of the memory;read first data values from the subset of memory cells dependent upon a verification threshold;increase a level of the verification threshold dependent upon the first data values read from the subset of memory cells; andapply a second programming pulse to each memory cell of the subset of memory cells.
