Abstract:
A method is provided for a reading memory even if there is a threshold voltage in an overlapped threshold voltage ( VTH ) region between a first state distribution and a second state distribution. The method includes ramping a bias on a memory cell a first time to determine a first threshold voltage (V TH1 ) of the memory cell and determining whether the V TH1  is within the overlapped VTH region. Upon determination that the memory cell is within the overlapped V TH  region, the method further includes applying a write pulse to the memory cell; ramping a bias on the memory cell a second time to determine a second threshold voltage (V TH2 ); and determining the state of the memory cell prior to receiving the write pulse based on a comparison between the V TH1  and the V TH2 .

Claim (Index 18):
The apparatus of  claim 14 ,\n a second hold circuit coupled to the comparator, wherein the second hold circuit is configured to store the second electrical response prior to the comparison between the first electrical response and the second electrical response.
