Power-saving techniques are employed in sensing a group of non-volatile memory cells in parallel. In one aspect, coupling of the memory cells to their bit lines are delayed during a precharge operation in order to reduced the cells' currents working against the precharge. In another aspect, a power-consuming...http://www.google.com/patents/US20070153604?utm_source=gb-gplus-sharePatent US20070153604 - Method for power-saving multi-pass sensing in non-volatile memory
