    Abstract: When an error correction code (ECC) unit finds uncorrectable errors in a solid state non-volatile memory device, a process may be used in an attempt to locate and correct the errors. This process may first identify 'low confidence' memory cells that are likely to contain errors, and then determine what data is more likely to be correct in those cells, based on various criteria. The new data may then be checked with the ECC unit to verify that it is sufficiently correct for the ECC unit to correct any remaining errors.

    Abstract: A method and apparatus for sensing the state of floating gate memory cells in a memory array (214). Because of its stability and accuracy, the sensing apparatus (220) may be used for sensing the state of multi-bit floating gate memory cells. The state of memory cell is sensed by applying a variable gate voltage to the top gate of the floating gate memory cell and comparing the cell current to a fixed reference current. A circuit detects when the cell current is equal to the reference current. When the currents are equal, the value of the variable gate voltage indicates the state of the memory cell. For one embodiment, an analog-to-digital converter (210) converts the variable gate voltage to a digital value that is latched when the currents are equal. The latched digital value indicates the state of the memory cell. For this embodiment, a ramp voltage or other suitable variable voltage may be used as the variable gate voltage. For another embodiment, a digital-to-analog converter is used to generate the variable gate voltage.
