Abstract: Apparatuses and methods including dice latches in a semiconductor device are disclosed. Example dice latches have a circuit arrangement that include a reduced number of circuits, such as transistors, and provides a compact layout. Operation of example dice latches and other dice latches may be controlled by separately provided control signals for loading and latching of data, and in some examples, for a reset operation. Example layouts include circuit elements aligned along a direction with at least one other circuit element offset from the other aligned circuit elements.

Abstract: According to one or more embodiments, an apparatus comprising a plurality of dice latches, dice latch control logic, and a plurality of data input logic is provided. The dice latches are coupled in parallel and latch respective data. The dice latch control logic receives a load control signal and a reset control signal, provides a reset signal and further provides first and second load signals to the dice latches. The reset signal is based on the reset control signal. The first and second load signals are based on the load control signal and the reset control signal. The data input logic each are coupled to a respective one of the dice latches.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatuses related to memory operation with multiple sets of latencies are disclosed. A memory device or system that includes a memory device may be operable with one or several sets of latencies (e.g., read, write, or write recovery latencies), and the memory device or system may apply a set of latencies depending on which features of the memory device are enabled. For example, control circuitry may be configured to enable one or more features during operations on a memory array, and the control circuitry may apply a set of latency values based on a number or type of features that are enabled. The sets of latency values may depend, for example, on whether various control features (e.g., dynamic voltage frequency scaling) are enabled, and a device may operate within certain frequency ranges irrespective of other characteristics (e.g., mode register values) or latencies applied.

Abstract: Apparatuses and methods for error correction coding and data bus inversion for semiconductor memories are described. An example apparatus includes an I/O circuit configured to receive first data and first ECC data associated with the first data, a memory array, and a control circuit. The control circuit is coupled between the I/O circuit and the memory array. The control circuit is configured to execute first ECC-decoding to produce corrected first data and corrected first ECC data responsive, at least in part, to the first data and the first ECC data. The control circuit is further configured to store both the corrected first data and the corrected first ECC data into the memory array.

Abstract: Some embodiments provide a method to reduce the refresh power consumption by effectively extending the memory cell retention time. Conversion from 1 cell/bit to 2N cells/bit reduces the variation in the retention time among memory cells. The conversion can be realized very simply from the structure of the DRAM array circuit, and it reduces the frequency of disturbance and power consumption by two orders of magnitude. On the basis of this conversion method, some embodiments provide a partial access mode to reduce power consumption dynamically when the full memory capacity is not required. One bit data may be stored into 1 cell for a normal operation mode and stored into 2N cells for a self refresh operation mode for a first partial access mode, while one bit data may be stored into 2N cells for both normal and self refresh operation modes.
Abstract translation: 一些实施例提供了通过有效地延长存储器单元保留时间来减少刷新功率消耗的方法。 从1个单元/位转换为2N个单元/位减少了存储单元之间的保留时间的变化。 可以从DRAM阵列电路的结构非常简单地实现转换,并且将干扰和功耗的频率降低两个数量级。 基于该转换方法,一些实施例提供了部分访问模式,以便在不需要全存储器容量时动态地降低功耗。 一位数据可以存储在1个单元中用于正常操作模式,并且存储在2N个单元中用于第一部分访问模式的自刷新操作模式,而一个位数据可以存储在2N个单元中用于正常和自刷新操作模式 。
