APPLICATIONS FOR INTER-WORD-LINE PROGRAMMING

摘要

A method includes, in an array of analog memory cells that are arranged in rows associated with respective word lines, reading a first group of the memory cells in a selected word line, including one or more memory cells that store a status of at least one word line in the array other than the selected word line. A readout configuration for a second group of the memory cells is set responsively to the read status. The second group of the memory cells is read using the readout configuration.

主权项

1. An apparatus, comprising:
a plurality of memory cells; and circuitry configured to:
perform a first read operation on a first subset of the plurality of memory cells;determine a configuration dependent upon at least a portion of data retrieved during the first read operation; andperform a second read operation on a second subset of the plurality of memory cells dependent upon the configuration.
