Abstract: Apparatuses, systems, and methods for module level error correction. Multiple memory devices a packaged together in a memory module. The module includes a module error correction code (ECC) circuit which pools information multiple memory devices on the module. In an example read operation, multiple memory devices each provide a codeword which includes data bits and parity bits. The codewords may include data bits provided along a data bus and parity bits provided along a parity bus. The ECC circuit pools the codewords and detects errors in the pooled codewords.

Abstract: Apparatuses, systems, and methods for forced error check and scrub (ECS) readouts. A memory may perform a sequence of ECS operations to read a codeword, detect and correct any errors, and write the corrected codeword back to the memory array. An ECS circuit may count errors which are detected, and set a value of one or more ECS registers in a mode register if the count exceeds a threshold filter at the end of the ECS cycle. The memory also includes a forced ECS readout circuit, which responsive to a command, for example from a controller, sets the value(s) in the ECS register(s).

Abstract: The systems and methods described herein relate to a bi-directional data path (DQ) symbol map generated based on error correction operations. A device may include sub-wordline drivers and bi-directional data paths (DQs) that couple between the sub-wordline drivers and input/output (I/O) interface circuitry based on assignments indicated by the DQ symbol map. The assignments may be generated based on error correction operations performed on data of the memory bank. In particular, the DQ symbol map may be generated to avoid some conditions that, if occurring, may render one or more data errors uncorrectable. These systems and methods may reduce a likelihood of a data error associated with a DQ being uncorrectable.

Abstract: Embodiments of the disclosure are drawn to apparatuses and methods for bad row mode. The memory may prevent proper access operations (e.g., read operations) from being performed on a selected bad row of the memory as part of a bad row mode. For example, the memory may store a bad row address and when an access address matches the bad row address, may suppress one or more signals, change data read from the address, or combinations thereof. The bad row mode may be used to provide a positive control for post package repair (PPR) operations on the memory. A controller may enter the memory into bad row mode and then test the memory to determine if the selected bad row can be located and repaired via PPR.

Abstract: Apparatuses, systems, and methods for sketch circuits for refresh binning. The rows of a memory may have different information retention times. The row addresses may be sorted into different bins based on these information retention times. In order to store information about which row addresses are associated with which bins a sketch circuit may be used. When an address is generated as part of a refresh operation, it may be used to generate a number of different hash values, which may be used to index entries in a storage structure. The entries may indicate which bin the address is associated with. Based on the binning information, the memory may refresh the address at different rates (e.g., by determining whether to provide the address as a refresh address or not).

Abstract: Apparatuses, systems, and methods for probabilistic data structures for error tracking. A memory device may include an error code correction (ECC) circuit which determines if data read from a memory array includes an error. If it does, the row address associated with the read data is provided to an error tracking circuit. The error tracking circuit may use probabilistic data structures, such as multiple count values, each indexed by different hash values of the row address. The count values may be used to determine if a given row address is repeatedly associated with errors. The memory may store these identified problem addresses in a data storage structure for example for diagnostic and/or repair purposes.

Abstract: Embodiments of the disclosure are drawn to apparatuses, systems, and methods for analog row access rate determination. Accesses to different row addresses may be tracked by storing one or more received addresses in a slice of stack. Each slice includes an accumulator circuit which provides a voltage based on charge on a capacitor. When a row address is received, it may be compared to the row addresses stored in the stack, and if there is a match, the charge on the capacitor in the associated accumulator circuit is increased. Each slice may also include a voltage to time (VtoT) circuit which may be used to identify the highest of the voltages provided by the accumulator circuits. The row address stored in the slide with the highest voltage may be refreshed.
