2092539 9205561 PCTABS00011 A writable distributed non-volatile analog reference system and method for analog signal recording and playback having application in integrated circuits which sample and directly store analog information (ANAIN). The invention is useful to facilitate the sensing of analog levels stored in nonvolatile memory cells (10) where the analog levels are played back such as to reproduce voice or music or tone information. In accordance with the method, one or more reference storage columns (11L, 11R, 12L, 12R) are included in the array (10) at each side of the storage cell array (10) and are used to store a referene signal at the same time that the adjacent storage cell stores a signal sample. On playback, the stored reference signals for the row of the array are read back and weighted relative to each other in accordance with the relative row position of the signal being taken as the difference between the signal sample read back (VARAY) and the reference signals read back (VREF) (as weighted relative to each other as per the position in the row of the signal cell). The differencing places many error sources in the common mode, thereby substantially eliminating the same from the output signal. A specific memory array organization and the operation thereof is disclosed.
