    Abstract: In a non-volatile memory device having an array of non-volatile storage elements, control information received via one or more control input nodes indicates, at different times, that (i) data signals representative of data to be stored within the array of non-volatile storage elements are to be received via a plurality of input/output (I/O) nodes of the non-volatile memory device, and (ii) data signals representative of data read from the array of non-volatile storage elements are to be output via the plurality of I/O nodes. First termination elements are switchably coupled to and decoupled from the I/O nodes based at least in part on the control information, and second termination elements are switchably coupled to and decoupled from the one or more control input nodes based at least in part on the control information.

    Abstract: Components of a memory system, such as a memory controller and a memory device, that reduce delay in exiting self-refresh mode by controlling the refresh timing of the memory device. The memory device includes a memory core. An interface circuit of the memory device receives an external refresh signal indicating an intermittent refresh event. A refresh circuit of the memory device generates an internal refresh signal indicating an internal refresh event of the memory device. A refresh control circuit of the memory device performs a refresh operation on a portion of the memory core responsive to the internal refresh event, at a time relative to the intermittent refresh event indicated by the external refresh signal.

    Abstract: Multiple devices, including a first device and a second device, have operational circuitry and opposing first and second surfaces. First and second electrical contacts are formed at the first surface, while a third electrical contact is formed at the second surface opposite the first electrical contact. The first electrical contact is electrically connected to the operational circuitry, and the second electrical contact is electrically connected to the third electrical contact. The first device and the second device are subsequently stacked such that the first surface of the second device is located adjacent the second surface of the first device such that the first electrical contact of the second device is aligned with the third electrical contact of the first device. The first electrical contact of the second device is electrically connected to the third electrical contact of the first device.

    Abstract: A memory controller having a time-staggered request signal output. A first timing signal is generated while a second timing signal is generated having a first phase difference relative to the first timing signal. An address value is transmitted in response to the first timing signal and a control value is transmitted in response to the second timing signal, the address value and control value constituting portions of a first memory access request.
