Abstract
Various embodiments address various difficulties with source side sensing difficulties in various memory architectures, such as 3D vertical gate flash and multilevel cell memory. One such difficulty is that with source side sensing, the signal amplitude is significantly smaller than drain side sensing. Another such difficulty is the noise and reduced sensing margins associated with multilevel cell memory. In some embodiments the bit line is selectively discharged prior to applying the read bias arrangement.
