Abstract
In one example, a method comprises determining a program resolution current value; and setting levels for a programming operation of a plurality of non-volatile memory cells in a neural network array such that a delta current between levels of each pair of adjacent cells in the plurality is a multiple of the program resolution current value.
Claims9
A method comprising:
- determining a program resolution current value;
- and
- setting N current levels for a plurality of non-volatile memory cells in a neural network array, where the non-volatile memory cells respectively can be programmed to any of the N current levels, such that a delta current between adjacent current levels within the N current levels is a multiple of the program resolution current value;
- wherein the delta current is at least a 1 sigma variation of one of the N current levels.
