Title:
MEMORY ACCESS UTILIZING PARTIAL REFERENCE VOLTAGE
Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JP2014160534
Kind Code:
A
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a device, system, and method for performing memory access utilizing a partial reference voltage.SOLUTION: A device 500 includes a comparison logic 520. The comparison logic compares a threshold voltage of a memory cell with at least a pair of partial reference voltages to generate a comparison result. The device includes a reading logic 530 for calculating a bit value of the memory cell at least partially on the basis of the comparison result. The comparison logic generates the at least a pair of partial reference voltages including a first reference voltage and a second reference voltage. The bit value corresponds to any one of a first value and a second value. The threshold voltage in a first threshold voltage range is associated with the first value and the threshold voltage in a second threshold voltage range is associated with the second value. The first threshold voltage range and the second threshold voltage range are not overlapped with each other.
