    Abstract: A read command to read a target memory die of a memory sub-system is received from a host system via a host-side interface of an active input/output (I/O) expander. The active I/O expander identifies a page address corresponding to the target memory die and decodes the read command to send to a memory stack associated with the page address corresponding to the target memory die. Read data is received via a memory-side interface of the active I/O expander from the memory stack including the target memory die. A signal conditioning operation is performed on the read data to generate conditioned read data. The active I/O expander sends, via the host-side interface, the conditioned read data to the host system.

    Abstract: A selection device includes a multiplexer component, an input channel configured to couple at least the multiplexer to the memory sub-system controller, and a set of output channels coupled to the multiplexer component. Each of the set of output channels is further coupled to a respective memory device of a set of memory devices. Each of the set of output channels is configured to transmit data between the multiplexer component and the respective memory device. The selection device further includes a decoder component that is coupled to the input channel and each of the set of memory devices. The decoder component is configured to receive, from the memory sub-system controller via the input channel, a signal including a first signal portion configured to enable the decoder component and a second signal portion configured to identify a particular output channel of the set of output channels that is to transmit the data between the multiplexer component and the corresponding memory device. The decoder component is to decode the received signal and transmit the decoded signal to each of the set of memory devices. The decoded signal is to enable the transmission of the data between the multiplexer and the corresponding memory device via the particular output channel.

    Abstract: A variety of applications can include apparatus and/or methods of controlling a secure boot mode for a memory system. In an embodiment, a system includes a memory component and a processing device, where the processing device is configured to control a boot process for the system to operate the memory component and perform a cryptographic verification with a host to conduct an authentication of the host. The processing device can interact with the host, in response to the authentication, to receive a setting to control the boot process in a secure boot mode. The processing can interact with another processing device of the system to store the setting and to receive a secure boot signal from the other processing device, where the secure boot signal is a signal to assert or de-assert the secure boot mode depending on a value of the setting. Additional apparatus, systems, and methods are disclosed.

    Abstract: A memory sub-system includes a power management integrated circuit (PMIC) compatible with operation at an uppermost PMIC supply voltage that is lower than a primary supply voltage of the memory sub-system. The PMIC is configured to output multiple voltages for operation of the memory sub-system based on a PMIC supply voltage. The memory sub-system further includes a capacitive voltage modifier (CVM) coupled to the PMIC. The CVM is configured to receive the primary supply voltage of the memory sub-system as an input and provide a first modified primary supply voltage (MPSV) to the PMIC as the PMIC supply voltage, where the first MPSV is not higher than the uppermost PMIC supply voltage.
