Solid state memory utilizing analog communication of data values

A memory device comprising an analog data signal indicative of the data value of 2 or more bits of information to be processed and generating (101/301) is easy to increase the data transfer speed compared to devices that handle only binary data signal representing the individual bits and generates It makes. The programming of a memory device (101/301) includes a program to the target threshold voltage ranges that represent the desired bit pattern. The reading of the memory device (101/301) includes generating an analog data signal representative of a threshold voltage of the target memory cell. Then, the analog signal may be processed to convert the digital representation of each bit of the bit pattern represented by the analog signal. The memory device (101/301) can be incorporated into a mass storage device 300, in such a conventional electronic system in the prior art for transparent replacement of any other mass storage device, mass storage device and a hard disk drive (HDD ) you can use the form factor and the communication protocol.
