摘要： An RC-based sensing scheme to effectively sense the cell resistance of a programmed Phase Change Material (PCM) memory cell. The sensing scheme ensures the same physical configuration of each cell (after programming): same amorphous volume, same trap density/distribution, etc. The sensing scheme is based on a metric: the RC based sense amplifier implements two trigger points. The measured time interval between these two points is used as the metric to determine whether the programmed cell state, e.g., resistance, is programmed into desired value. The RC-based sensing scheme is embedded into an iterative PCM cell programming technique to ensure a tight distribution of resistance at each level after programming; and ensure the probability of level aliasing is very small, leading to less problematic drift.

摘要： A memory system, system including the memory system and method of reducing memory system power consumption. The memory system includes multiple memory units allocable to one of a number of processor units, e.g., processors or processor cores. A memory controller receives requests for memory from the processor units and allocates sufficient space from the memory to each requesting processor unit. Allocated memory can include some Single Level per Cell (SLC) memory units storing a single bit per cell and other memory units storing more than one bit per cell. Thus, two processor units may be assigned identical memory space, while half, or fewer, than the number of cells of one are assigned to the other.
