    Abstract: Systems, methods, circuits, devices, and apparatus including computer-readable mediums for managing tamper detections in secure memory devices. In one aspect, a secure memory device includes: a memory cell array, one or more tamper detectors each configured to detect a respective type of tamper event on at least part of the secure memory device, and a tamper detection status register storing one or more values each indicating a tamper detection status detected by a corresponding tamper detector. The secure memory device can include a command interface coupled to the tamper detection status register and configured to output the values stored in the tamper detection status register when receiving a trigger. The secure memory device can also include an output pin coupled to the tamper detection status register and be configured to automatically output the values stored in the tamper detection status register via the output pin.

    Abstract: An integrated circuit comprising a memory array configured to store data chunks with corresponding error correction codes and error correction logic includes control logic that executes a recovery procedure to access a selected data chunk and corresponding error correction code from the memory array, to utilize the error correction logic to identify a location in the memory array of an error bit in the selected data chunk, and to access the identified location to write the corrected data. The recovery procedure is sequentially applied to a plurality of data chunks over a recovery operation region designated for a given instance of the recovery operation. Memory coupled with the control logic can store one or more recovery parameters that identify the recovery operation region in the memory.

    Abstract: Techniques are described herein for detecting and recovering over-erased memory cells in a flash memory device. In one embodiment, a flash memory device includes a memory array including a plurality of blocks of memory cells. The device also includes a command interface to receive a command from a source external to the memory device. The device also includes a controller including logic to perform a leakage-suppression process in response to the command. The leakage-suppression process includes performing a soft program operation to increase a threshold voltage of one or more over-erased memory cells in a given block of memory cells and establish an erased state.
