    Abstract: Embodiments of the disclosure are drawn to apparatuses, systems, and methods for dynamic targeted refresh steals. A memory bank may receive access commands and then periodically enter a refresh mode, where auto-refresh operations and targeted refresh operations are performed. The memory bank may receive a refresh management command based on a count of access commands directed to the memory bank. Responsive to the refresh management signal, a panic targeted refresh operation may be performed on the memory bank. A number of times the refresh management signal was issued may be counted, and based on that count a next periodic targeted refresh operation may be skipped.

    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: One example apparatus includes a first circuit configured to receive first and second data words, to correct one or more errors in the first data word, to merge the corrected first data word and the second data word responsive to a control signal to generate a final merged data word, and to provide the final merged data word to a write circuit. The apparatus also includes a second circuit configured to also receive the first and second data words, to preliminarily merge the first and second data words responsive to the control signal to generate an initial merged data word, to generate an initial parity code for the initial merged data word, to correct the initial parity code, and to provide the corrected parity code to the write circuit.

    Abstract: Apparatuses, systems, and methods for refresh modes. A memory may need to perform targeted refresh operations to refresh the ‘victim’ word lines which are near to frequently accessed ‘aggressor’ word lines. To refresh the victims at a high enough rate, it may be desirable to refresh multiple victims as part of the same refresh operation. However, certain word lines (e.g., word lines in a same section or adjacent sections of the memory) cannot be refreshed together. The memory may have a section comparator, which may check stored aggressor addresses and may provide a signal if there are not two stored addresses which can be refreshed together. Based, in part, on the signal, the memory may activate one of several different refresh modes, which may control the types of refresh operation performed responsive to a refresh signal.

    Abstract: Embodiments of the disclosure are drawn to apparatuses methods for checking redundancy information for row addresses prior to performing various refresh operations, such as auto refresh and targeted refresh operations. In some examples, refresh operations may be multi pump refresh operations. In some examples, a targeted refresh operation may be performed prior to an auto refresh operation responsive to a multi pump refresh operation. In some examples, redundancy information for the auto refresh operation may be performed, at least in part, during the targeted refresh operation. In some examples, refresh operations on word lines may be skipped when the redundancy information indicates the word line is defective or unused.

    Abstract: Apparatuses and methods for pipelining memory operations with error correction coding are disclosed. A method for pipelining consecutive write mask operations is disclosed wherein a second read operation of a second write mask operation occurs during error correction code calculation of a first write mask operation. The method may further including writing data from the first write mask operation during the error correction code calculation of the second write mask operation. A method for pipelining consecutive operations is disclosed where a first read operation may be cancelled if the first operation is not a write mask operation. An apparatus including a memory having separate global read and write input-output lines is disclosed.
