Abstract:
Memory sense amplifiers and memory verification methods are described. According to one aspect, a memory sense amplifier includes a first input coupled with a memory element of a memory cell, wherein the memory element has different memory states at different moments in time, a second input configured to receive a reference signal, modification circuitry configured to provide a data signal at the first input from the memory element having a plurality of different voltages corresponding to respective ones of different memory states of the memory cell at the different moments in time, and comparison circuitry coupled with the modification circuitry and configured to compare the data signal and the reference signal at the different moments in time and to provide an output signal indicative of the memory state of the memory cell at the different moments in time as a result of the comparison to implement a plurality of verify operations of the memory states of the memory cell at the different moments in time.

Claim (Index 39):
The memory cell verification circuit of  claim 37  wherein the sensing circuitry is configured to regulate one of the data signals to an increased voltage as a result of one of the target data values indicating a first of the different memory states was intended to be programmed to the memory cell at one of the moments in time and compared with regulation of an other of the data signals resulting from an other of the target data values indicating a second of the different memory states was intended to be programmed to the memory cell at an other of the moments in time.
