Programmable and flexible reference cell selection method for memory devices

摘要

An exemplary system includes an array of interconnected cells and a flexible decoder. The array is configured to receive a selection signal as input, select a cell based upon the selection signal, and provide an output based on the selected cell. The flexible decoder is configured to receive an input, generate a selection signal based on the input and one or more characteristics of the array of interconnected cells, and provide the selection signal to the array of interconnected cells.
