MULTI-LEVEL MEMORY APPARATUS AND DATA SENSING METHOD THEREOF |
摘要 |
A multi-level memory device may include a most significant bit (MSB) determination circuit configured to determine a plurality of MSBs by comparing a cell current flowing through a memory cell with a predetermined reference current, a current/voltage conversion circuit configured to convert a copied cell current obtained by copying the cell current into a cell voltage, a charging time determination circuit configured to determine a charging time during which the copied cell current is converted into the cell voltage and output a charging end signal, and a least significant bit (LSB) determination circuit configured to determine a plurality of LSBs according to the cell voltage and the charging end signal. |
