Abstract
Systems and methods for reducing the effect of noise while reading data in series from memory, are provided. One system embodiment comprises a memory cell that stores a first data; a sensing device that receives the first data multiple times and provides a first set of outputs; and a voting system that evaluates the first set of outputs to determine whether one of the outputs of the first set is valid data from the memory cell. One method embodiment comprises reading data in series that is stored in a memory cell to provide outputs; and evaluating the outputs to determine whether one of the outputs is valid data from the memory cell.
