    Abstract: An example method for scan-based voltage frequency scaling can include performing a plurality of at-speed scan operation on a system on chip (SoC) at a plurality of respective voltage values. The example method can include entering data gathered from at least one of the plurality of at-speed scan operations into a database. The entered data is associated with the respective plurality of voltage value. The example method can include determining a particular voltage value of the respective plurality of voltage values at which a parameter of the SoC reaches a threshold. The example method can include indicating the determined particular voltage in the database. The indicated determined particular voltage in the database can be used for performing one or more operations using the SoC.

    Abstract: Operations include monitoring a logical level of a first pin of the plurality of pins while a data burst is active, wherein the first pin is associated with at least one of a read enable signal or a data strobe signal, determining whether a period of time during which the logical level of the first pin is held at a first logical level satisfies a threshold condition, in response to determining that the period of time satisfies the threshold condition, continuing to monitor the logical level of the first pin, determining whether the logical level of the first pin changed from the first logical level to a second logical level, and in response to determining that the logical level of the first pin changed from the first logical to the second logical level, causing warmup cycles to be performed.

    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for command and data path error protection are described. In some examples, a memory system may receive data units from a host device. The data units may include respective sets of parity bits, and the memory system may perform an error detection operation on the data units. A first controller of the memory system may generate a protocol unit using data (e.g., a subset of data) from the data units. The protocol unit may include a set of parity bits (e.g., a different set of parity bits), and a second controller of the memory system may perform an error detection operation on the protocol unit. The second controller of the memory system may generate a data storage unit using data (e.g., a subset of data) from the protocol unit, and may store the data unit and another set of parity bits to a memory device.

    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for command timer interrupt are described. In some cases, a memory system having a host-driven logical block interface may maintain a timer to measure processing of commands. For example, upon receiving a command and storing the command in a command queue, a protocol controller of the memory system may issue the command to a command controller of the memory system and initiate the timer. Upon receiving a response for the command from the command controller, the protocol controller may reset or stop the timer, depending on whether the command queue is empty. If the timer expires prior to receiving a response for the command, the protocol controller may issue an interrupt signal to the command controller.

    Abstract: A plurality of flip-flops of an integrated circuit (IC) (e.g., an ASIC) are electrically connected in a predefined series. The scan input gate of any give flip-flop in the predefined series is electrically connected to one of a Q output gate or a Q-bar output gate of an adjacent flip-flop in the predefined series. A reset operation for the IC occurs by feeding a bit string of identical bits (e.g., all zeros) through the scan input gate of a first flip-flop of the plurality of flip-flops to reset the plurality of flip-flops without the need for resetting circuitry and accompanying power savings for the IC.

    Abstract: A method includes determining, via status polling at a first interval, an indicator of an almost ready status of a set of memory cells of a memory device, based on the indicator of the almost ready status, determining the set of memory cells of the memory device is almost ready to complete execution of an operation on the set of memory cells of the memory device, and responsive to determining the set of memory cells of the memory device is almost ready to complete execution of the operation, performing status polling at a second interval.
