Abstract:
Techniques for reading a Multi-Bit Cell (MBC) can include sensing a state parameter value, such as source line voltage, and applying a successive one of N programming parameter values, such as successive programming currents, between instances of sensing the state parameter values. The N successive programming parameter values can be selected to switch the state of a corresponding one of N cell elements of the MBC. Successive ones of the sensed state parameter values can be compared to determine N state change results, which can be used to determine the read state of the MBC.

Claim (Index 10):
The memory device of  claim 1 , wherein the sense circuit comprises:\n a plurality of current or voltage sources to apply a fixed current or fixed voltage to the selected plurality of MBCs; a plurality of first switches and first capacitors coupled together and configured to store the first instance of the sense level of the selected plurality of MBCs; a plurality of second switches and second capacitors coupled together and configured to store the second instance of the sense level and the third instance of the sense level of the selected plurality of MBCs; a plurality of third switches and third capacitors coupled together and configured to store the fourth instance of the sense level of the selected plurality of MBCs; a plurality of first comparators coupled to the plurality of first switches and first capacitors and the plurality of second switches and second capacitors and configured to compare the second instance of the sense level to the first instance of the sense level; and a plurality of second comparators coupled to the plurality of second switches and second capacitors and the plurality of third switches and third capacitors and configured to compare the fourth instance of the sense level to the third instance of the sense level.
