Abstract:
A memory device includes a memory component and controller circuitry. The memory component stores data and the controller circuitry receives, from a host electronic device, one or more commands of a memory system protocol. The one or more commands include at least one write command, the write command comprising one or more blocks of data to be stored in the memory component. Further, the one or more commands include metadata, attributes, or both related to the one or more blocks of data. The controller circuitry interprets and executes the one or more commands. Accordingly, the blocks are stored in the memory component. Further, the controller circuitry of the memory device has access to the metadata, attributes or both.
Abstract:
An integrated circuit may have a clock input pin coupled to a buffer (24). The buffer may supply a clock signal (28) to an integrated circuit chip such as the memory. To conserve power, the buffer is powered down. When ready for use, the buffer is quickly powered back up. In one embodiment, in response to a predetermined number of toggles Of the clock signal, the buffer is automatically powered up.
Abstract:
The present disclosure includes apparatuses and methods for providing power availability information to memory. A number of embodiments include a memory and a controller. The controller is configured to provide power and power availability information to the memory, and the memory is configured to determine whether to adjust its operation based, at least in part, on the power availability information.

Abstract:
A non volatile memory device includes a first buffer register configured to receive and store the data to be stored into the memory device provided via a memory bus. A command window is activatable for interposing itself for access to a memory matrix between the first buffer element and the memory matrix. The command window includes a second buffer element that stores data stored in or to be stored into a group of memory elements. A first data transfer means executes a first transfer of the data stored in the second buffer register into the first buffer register during a first phase of a data write operation started by the reception of a first command. A second data transfer means receives the data provided by the memory bus and modifies, based on the received data, the data stored in the first buffer register during a second phase of the data write operation started by the reception of a second command. The first transfer means execute a second transfer of the modified data stored in the first buffer register into the second buffer register during a third phase of the data write operation. The second transfer is executed in response to the reception of a signal received by the memory bus together with the second command.
Abstract:
A variety of applications can include a memory device implementing one or more caches or buffers integrated with a controller of the memory device to provide post package repair resources. The one or more caches or buffers can be separate from the media subsystem that stores user data for the memory device. Arrangements of the one or more caches or buffers can include the one or more caches or buffers structured between decoder-encoder arrangements of the memory device and the media subsystem of the memory device. Other arrangements of the one or more caches or buffers can include decoder-encoder arrangements of the memory device structured between the one or more caches or buffers and the media subsystem of the memory device. Combinations of arrangements may be implemented. Additional apparatus, systems, and methods are disclosed.
Abstract:
Methods, systems, and devices related to row activation indication registers are disclosed. A first register can be coupled to a memory device and configured to store an indication of a first number of bit locations of a row address corresponding to the memory device to use in association with optimization of a row precharge time (tRP) of the memory device. A second register can be coupled to the memory device and configured to store an indication of a second number of bit locations of the row address to use in association with optimization of a row address to column address delay (tRCD) of the memory device.
Abstract:
Methods, systems, and devices for techniques for indicating row activation are described. A memory device may receive an indication associated with an activation command, which may enable the memory device to begin some aspects of an activation operation before receiving the associated activation command. The indication may include a location of a next row to access as part of the activation command. The indication may be included in a previous activation command or in a precharge command. The memory device may begin activation operations for the next row before the precharge operation of the current row is complete. The memory device may receive the activation command for the next row after receiving the indication, and may complete the activation operations upon receiving the activation command.
