Abstract

The invention discloses a method for determining a flash memory and a reference unit thereof. Wherein, the flash memory includes: a storage unit; a plurality of reference units; a first switching unit, the first switching unit is connected with a plurality of reference units; a comparison unit, the first input end of the comparison unit is connected with the storage unit, and the comparison The second input terminal of the unit is connected to the first reference unit through the first switching unit; and the control unit is connected to both the first reference unit and the first switching unit, and is used for operating the first reference unit when the number of operating cycles is greater than or When it is equal to the preset number of times, the second input end of the comparison unit is controlled to be disconnected from the first reference unit through the first switching unit, and the second input end of the comparison unit is controlled to be connected to the second reference unit. The present invention solves the problem that the flash memory is prone to reference current drift in the prior art, and further achieves the effect of increasing the reliability of the flash memory under multiple reads and writes.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of integrated circuits, in particular to a method for determining a flash memory and a reference unit thereof. Background technique [0002] With the development of the consumer electronics market, flash memory, as the main memory, has been widely used in mobile phones, digital cameras and other products, and the market scale is constantly expanding. The flash memory can keep the stored information for a long time without power on, and the schematic diagram of its read operation is as follows figure 1 shown in memory cell C A (Array Cell) and reference cell C R A certain voltage is applied to the gate of (Ref Cell), and the current Ic and Iref are read from the drain, and the two are compared with each other. If Ic>Iref, SA outputs logic 1; if Ic<Iref, SA outputs logic 0 , so as to achieve the purpose of reading out the stored data. [0003] During the working process of the flash memory, it needs a stable r...
