Abstract:
A circuit includes a detection circuit configured to determine a capacitance delay (RC-delay) in an initial stage of a read or program operation and to adjust timing for detecting data in a subsequent stage, or portion of a stage, of the same read or programing operation. In particular, during a program operation a detection circuit may be configured to detect a pre-charge time for a bit line and adjust a timing of subsequent verify stages of the bit line during the same program operation based on the detected pre-charge time. Additionally, a word line circuit may be configured to detect a pre-charge time for a word line during an initial stage of a read operation and adjust read timing for a subsequent portion of the same read stage, or subsequent read stage of the read operation based on the detected word line pre-charge time.

Claim (Index 23):
A method comprising:\n detecting, with a detection circuit, a time at which a word line voltage increasing from an initial level reaches a threshold level during application of a read spike voltage in an initial read stage of a read operation; outputting, with the detection circuit, a state change signal in response to detecting that the word line voltage reached the threshold level; tracking, with a counter, a number of clock pulses of a clock signal from a beginning of application of the read spike voltage in the initial read stage to when the state change signal indicates that the word line voltage reached the threshold level; selecting, with read logic, a word line settling time period based on the number of clock pulses; and outputting, with a sense circuit controller, a control signal to a sense circuit in response to expiration of the word line settling time period.
