Abstract: Uncorrectable memory errors may be reduced by determining a logical array address for a set of memory arrays and transforming the logical array address to at least two unique array addresses based, at least in part, on logical locations of at least two memory arrays within the set of memory arrays. The at least two memory arrays are then accessed using the at least two unique array addresses, respectively.

Abstract: In an embodiment, a memory controller may determine that one or more neighboring memory cells associated with a target memory cell in a memory device are to be refreshed. The controller may generate a command associated with refreshing the one or more neighboring memory cells. The controller may transfer the command from the memory controller to the memory device containing the target memory cell. The command may direct the memory device to refresh the neighboring memory cells and/or return one or more addresses associated with the neighboring memory cells.

Abstract: Systems, apparatuses and methods may provide for technology that determines a write-to-write delay with respect to a memory cell, wherein one or more neighboring cells are adjacent to the memory cell and controls a write disturb refresh rate of the one or more neighboring cells based on the write-to-write delay. In one example, the technology increments a write counter corresponding to the memory cell by a first value if the write-to-write delay exceeds a delay threshold and increments the write counter by a second value if the write-to-write delay does not exceed the delay threshold, wherein the second value is greater than the first value, and wherein the write disturb refresh rate is controlled based on the write counter.

Abstract: Systems, apparatuses, and methods provide for technology performs write current adjustment management in crosspoint persistent memory structures. Such technology determines whether to adjust a base current in response to a sampling of write-and-read operations on a set of addresses in a crosspoint persistent memory; determines whether a test current reduces a number of bit fails in response to a determination of whether to adjust the base current; and adjusts the base current based on the test current in response to a determination that the test current reduces the number of bit fails.

Abstract: One embodiment provides a memory controller. The memory controller includes a memory controller memory; a timestamp circuitry and a demarcation voltage (VDM) selection circuitry. The timestamp circuitry is to capture a current timer index from a timer circuitry in response to an initiation of a periodic patrol scrub and to compare the current timer index to a stored timestamp. The VDM selection circuitry is to update a state of a sub-block of a memory array, if the state is less than a threshold and a difference between the current timer index and the stored timestamp is nonzero. The timestamp circuitry is further to store the current timer index as a new timestamp.

Abstract: Apparatus, systems, and methods to correct for threshold voltage drift in non-volatile memory devices are disclosed and described. In one example, a compensated demarcation voltage is generated by either a time-based drift compensation scheme or a disturb-based drift compensation scheme, and read and write operations to the non-volatile memory are carried out using the compensated voltage threshold.
