Abstract:
Systems and methods reduce device peak current during a read operation by charging control lines of a first set of memory cells faster than control lines of a second set of memory cells while minimizing the channel gradient formed adjacent to a selected word line to suppress occurrences of an injection read disturb in a sense line channel. For example, a first set of memory cells are in a first location relative to a selected memory cell selected for sensing, and a second set of memory cells are in a second location relative to the selected memory cell. The charge device is configured to charge the first set of memory cells and the second set of memory cells. In some aspects, a rate of charging the first set of memory cells is different from a rate of charging the second set of memory cells.

Claim (Index 17):
The method of  claim 16 , wherein the biasing the one or more first control lines comprises biasing the one or more first control lines with a first plurality of discrete step voltages to ramp up the one or more first memory cells to the first voltage at the first biasing rate, wherein the biasing the one or more second control lines comprises biasing the one or more second control lines with a second plurality of discrete step voltages to ramp up the one or more second memory cells to the second voltage at the second biasing rate, and wherein each of the first plurality of discrete step voltages has a first duration, and each of the second plurality of discrete step voltages has a second duration different from the first duration.
