Abstract:
1. A method for operating a non-volatile storage system, comprising: determining a first sensing time associated with a first memory cell connected to a first bit line; determining a second sensing time associated with a second memory cell connected to a second bit line different from the first bit line; integrating a first current associated with the first bit line during the first sensing time; integrating a second current associated with the second bit line during the second sensing time; detecting a first state of the first memory cell based on the integration of the first current and a reference voltage, the detecting a first state is performed using a detection block during a first time period; detecting a second state of the second memory cell based on the integration of the second current and the reference voltage, the detecting a second state is performed using the same detection block during a second time period subsequent to the first time period; and outputting data associated with the first state and the second state.
