Abstract

See full text

The system may include a digital-to-analog converter configured to convert a digital signal to an analog signal. The system may include sample/hold circuits configured to receive and store the analog signal. The system may include an address controller configured to regulate which sample/hold circuits propagate the analog signal. The sample/hold circuits may be configured to feed the analog signal to devices of a memory array. The system may include an output circuit configured to program the devices by comparing currents of the devices to a target current. In response to one or more of the currents of the devices being within a threshold range, the output circuit may discontinue programming the corresponding devices. In response to one or more of the currents of the devices not being within the threshold range, the output circuit may continue programming the corresponding devices.
