Abstract

Technology for NAND in-memory compute. A NAND memory system uses a Vladder in which the expected (or estimated) voltage at the source terminal of a particular NAND memory cell transistor is factored into the determination of the voltage to apply to the gate. An estimate may be made of what voltage will be at the source terminal of each NAND memory cell transistor during in-memory computation. The voltage to apply to the gate of the NAND memory cell transistor may then be determined by adding the estimated source terminal voltage to the target V. Therefore, the actual Vis much closer to the target Vthereby improving accuracy of NAND in-memory compute.
