ABSTRACT:
A memory structure that improves a sensing accuracy of memory cells by dividing the main array into a number of memory units and sensing memory cells of each memory units with an appropriate set of reference currents. Each of the memory units corresponds to a reference group bit value, which indicates the appropriate set of reference currents. The appropriate set of reference currents is chosen from a number of sets of selective reference currents according to the threshold voltage distribution of each of the memory units. Thus, each of the memory units of the memory structure is sensed correctly with its own appropriate set of reference currents, and the improvement of sensing accuracy is therefore achieved.
