Filed:

Mar 15, 2011

Appl. No.:

13/047798

Inventors:

Peggy Jean Liska - Sugar Land TX, US
Aaron Jabari Russell - Houston TX, US
Anthony Scott Vaughan - Missouri City TX, US

Assignee:

Texas Instruments Incorporated - Dallas TX

International Classification:

G11C 11/34

US Classification:

36518503, 36518518, 36518519, 36518524, 36518533

Abstract:

An electrically addressed non-volatile memory is maintained by measuring a voltage threshold for each selected memory cell in the electrically addressed non-volatile memory. The voltage threshold is a voltage around which a controllable voltage signal applied to a control gate of a selected memory cell produces a change in value read from the selected memory cell. A measured voltage threshold distribution of the measured voltage thresholds is generated for the selected memory cells. The voltage threshold distribution is analyzed to identify memory cells having greater probabilities of read errors, for example. In response to the analysis, an operating parameter that affects the memory cells identified as having greater probabilities of read errors is selectively changed.

Assignee:

TEXAS INSTRUMENTS INCORPORATED - Dallas TX

International Classification:

B60W 30/14
B60W 10/18
G01S 19/42

US Classification:

701 29, 701 93, 34235725, 701 71

Abstract:

A cruise control includes an input () for speed-related data, a hill angle sensor (), and a cruise controller () having a throttling control output () and control conditions responsive to both the speed-related data and to the hill angle sensor () to determine whether to increase or decrease the throttling control output or leave the throttling control output unchanged. Other cruise control apparatus and processes and automotive vehicles are disclosed.
