    Abstract: Apparatuses and methods are disclosed for oscillators that are substantially insensitive to supply voltage variations. In one such example apparatus, a capacitance circuit is configured to be charged and discharged. Charging and discharging circuits are coupled to the capacitance circuit and configured to charge and discharge, respectively, the capacitance circuit by charging and discharging currents responsive to charge and discharge signals. A control circuit is coupled to the charging circuit and the discharging circuit, and is configured to provide the charge and discharge signals responsive to a voltage of the capacitance circuit, and is further configured to provide an oscillation signal responsive to the voltage of the capacitance circuit. The charging current, the discharging current, or both the charging and discharging currents are proportional to a difference between a first reference voltage and a second reference voltage.

    Abstract: Apparatuses and methods for pure-time, self-adopt sampling for RHR refresh. An example apparatus includes a memory bank comprising a plurality of rows each associated with a respective row address, and a sampling timing generator circuit configured to provide a timing signal having a plurality of pulses. Each of the plurality of pulses is configured to initiate sampling of a respective row address associated with a row of the plurality of rows to detect a row hammer attack. The sampling timing generator includes first circuitry configured to provide a first subset of pulses of the plurality of pulses during a first time period and includes second circuitry configured to initiate provision of a second subset of pulses of the plurality of pulses during a second time period after the first time period.

    Abstract: Embodiments of the disclosure are drawn to apparatuses and methods for analog row access tracking. A plurality of unit cells are provided, each of which contains one or more analog circuits used to track accesses to a portion of the wordlines of a memory device. When a wordline in the portion is accessed, the unit cell may update an accumulator voltage, for example by adding charge to a capacitor. A comparator circuit may determine when one or more accumulator voltages cross a threshold (e.g., a reference voltage). Responsive to the accumulator voltage crossing the threshold, an aggressor address may be loaded in a targeted refresh queue, or if the aggressor address is already in the queue, a priority flag associated with that address may be set. Aggressor addresses may be provided to have their victims refreshed in an order based on the number of set priority flags.

    Abstract: A method of operating a memory device may include receiving, during a phase of a row hammer refresh (RHR) interval, at least one row hammer address (RHA) of a content-addressable memory (CAM). The method further includes storing, during the phase of the RHR interval, a received RHA of the at least one received RHA in an address register. Further, the method includes refreshing the stored RHA of the CAM via a RHR during the RHR interval.
