    Abstract: Apparatuses and methods for threshold voltage (Vt) distribution determination are described. A number of apparatuses can include sense circuitry configured to determine a first current on a source line of an array of memory cells, the first current corresponding to a first quantity of memory cells of a group of memory cells that conducts in response to a first sensing voltage applied to an access line and determine a second current on the source line, the second current corresponding to a second quantity of memory cells of the group that conducts in response to a second sensing voltage applied to the access line. The number of apparatuses can include a controller configured to determine at least a portion of a Vt distribution corresponding to the group of memory cells based, at least in part, on the first current and the second current.

    Abstract: Various embodiments comprise apparatuses such as those having a block of memory divided into sub-blocks that share a common data line. Each of the sub-blocks of the block of memory corresponds to a respective one of a number of segmented sources. Each of the segmented sources is electrically isolated from the other segmented sources of the block of memory. Additional apparatuses and methods of operation are described.

    Abstract: An embodiment of a method of programming might include applying a first voltage difference across a first memory cell to be programmed, where applying the first voltage difference comprises applying a first channel bias voltage to a channel of the first memory cell, and applying a second voltage difference, substantially equal to the first voltage difference, across a second memory cell to be programmed while applying the first voltage difference across the first memory cell, where applying the second voltage difference comprises applying a second channel bias voltage to a channel of the second memory cell. The first channel bias voltage is different than the second channel bias voltage, and the first memory cell and the second memory cell are commonly coupled to an access line and are at different locations along a length of the access line.

    Abstract: Methods for memory input timing self-calibration, apparatuses for input timing self-calibration, and systems are disclosed. One such method includes sequentially programming a plurality of delay trim settings into a delay circuit of a data path. The data path can include a data latch coupled to the delay circuit. A clock is coupled to the data latch to clock data into the data latch. Transitions of the data are substantially aligned with transitions of the clock. An output of the data latch is read after each delay trim setting is programmed. A boundary is determined between a first output state of the data latch and a second output state of the data latch wherein the boundary is associated with a particular delay trim setting of the plurality of delay trim settings. The particular delay trim setting is programmed into the delay circuit.
