    Abstract: An on-die controller can provide an error correction capability for data stored in an array of memory cells located on the same die as the on-die controller. The error correction capability provided by the on-die controller eliminates a need to transfer error correction code (ECC) data to an external controller that may have provided the error correction capability in lieu of the on-die controller, which can provide more channel bandwidth for other types of non-user data for further strengthening data reliability, security, integrity of the memory system.

    Abstract: Systems and method for sensing an accessed voltage value associated with a memory cell is described. In different embodiments, a memory array may include a different number of sense amplifiers. Moreover, each sense amplifier may include capacitors with different capacitance values to compensate for a difference in received charges associated with a similar memory state caused by various circuit delays. For example, farther memory cells from a word line driver may receive activation signals with higher delays which in turn may result in delayed activation. As such, the sense amplifiers may include capacitors with varying capacitance values to compensate for an amount charge received at a latching time caused by delayed provision of charges associated with the targeted memory states.

    Abstract: An apparatus has a controller and an array of memory cells, including a first section comprising a plurality of rows and a second section comprising a plurality of rows. The controller configured to, in association with wear leveling, transfer data stored in a first row of the first section from the first row to a register, transfer the data from the register to a destination row of the second section while data in a second row of the first section is being sensed.

    Abstract: Embodiments of the disclosure are drawn to apparatuses and methods for plate coupled sense amplifiers. An example embodiment may include a sense amplifier which may sense a voltage from a memory cell. The sense amplifier may also monitor a change in the voltage, and determine a logical value of the memory cell based on the time when the voltage reaches a trigger voltage. The memory cell may be coupled to a plate with a plate voltage, wherein a change in the plate voltage determines the change of the voltage from the memory cell.

    Abstract: Apparatus and methods for driving a signal are disclosed. An example apparatus includes a pre-driver circuit and a driver circuit. The pre-driver circuit includes a step-down transistor and the driver circuit includes a pull-down transistor configured to be coupled to a reference voltage. In a first mode, the step-down transistor is configured to reduce a voltage provided to the pull-down transistor to less than a supply voltage, and in a second mode, the step-down transistor configured to provide the voltage of the supply voltage to the pull-down transistor. The pre-driver circuit of the example signal driver circuit may further include a step-up transistor configured to increase a voltage provided to a pull-up transistor of the driver circuit to greater than the reference voltage, and in the second mode, the step-up transistor configured to provide the voltage of the reference voltage to the pull-up transistor.
