Possible Prior Art
One possible prior art could be the use of temperature sensors in memory devices for temperature compensation. However, the specific implementation described in this patent application may be novel and inventive in its approach.
Unanswered Questions
How does the temperature compensation circuit calculate the read level offset?
The temperature compensation circuit calculates the read level offset based on the read temperature and program temperature of the memory cells. This process involves complex algorithms and calculations to ensure accurate compensation for temperature variations.
What is the impact of temperature variations on nonvolatile memory devices without temperature compensation?
Without temperature compensation, temperature variations can lead to read errors, data corruption, and reduced reliability in nonvolatile memory devices. This can result in data loss and system failures in electronic devices.
Original Abstract Submitted
Disclosed is a nonvolatile memory device which include a memory cell array including a plurality of memory cells connected to a plurality of word lines, an address decoder that controls a selected word line among the plurality of word lines based on an address received from an external device including a first temperature sensor, a second temperature sensor that measures a read temperature of first memory cells connected to the selected word line from among the plurality of memory cells, and a temperature compensation circuit that calculates a read level offset based on the read temperature and a program temperature of the first memory cells measured by the first temperature sensor and generates a compensation read voltage based on the read level offset. The address decoder is further configured to provide the compensation read voltage to the selected word line.
