    Abstract: In one embodiment, a device containing sensitive information may be placed in a data security mode. In such a data security mode, certain activities may trigger the partial or full erasure of the sensitive date before the data can be retrieved by an unauthorized user. In one embodiment, the data security mode may be a “park” mode in which unauthorized physical movement of the device triggers the partial or full erasure of the sensitive data stored in a nonvolatile memory before the data can be retrieved by an unauthorized user. In another aspect of the present description, the earth's magnetic field may be used to detect movement of a device in the park mode, and may be used to power the erasure of sensitive data as the device is moved relative to the earth's magnetic field. Other aspects are described herein.

    Abstract: One aspect of the present description provides for automatically erasing at least a portion of a memory such as a nonvolatile memory, for example, of a device in response to a detected event such as a power shutdown or power-up process, for example. In one embodiment, an on-board erasure assistance device such as an electro-magnet, for example, facilitates sensitive data erasure. In accordance with another aspect of the present description, a satisfactory level of sensitive data erasure may be achieved by resetting a portion of the bits of the sensitive data, instead of resetting all the bits of sensitive data. In one embodiment, the bits which are reset to erase sensitive data may be randomly distributed over a subarray. Other aspects are described herein.

    Abstract: A system enables an alert signal test mode. The system has an alert signal line between the memory device and the memory controller. The memory device has a register that controls entry into the alert signal test mode. The memory controller sends a command to trigger the memory device to enter the alert signal test mode. In response to the commands, the memory device asserts the alert signal line with an alert signal in response to entry into the alert signal test mode.

    Abstract: Examples include techniques for a memory module per row activate counter. The techniques include detecting a row hammer or row disturb condition for a row address at a volatile memory device if an activate count to the row address matches a threshold count. The activate count is maintained by a controller for the memory module. Detection of the row hammer or row disturb condition can cause refresh management actions to mitigate the row hammer or row disturb condition.

    Abstract: A programmable data pattern for repeated writes to memory can enable efficient writing of a data pattern to multiple memory locations without transmitting the data pattern for each write. In one embodiment, a memory device includes input/output (I/O) circuitry to receive a command, a register to store a value to indicate a source of a data pattern to write in response to receipt of the command, and access circuitry to, in response to receipt of the command, write the data pattern to memory based on the source indicated by the value in the register.

    Abstract: In one embodiment, a magnetoresistance random access memory (MRAM) such as a spin transfer torque (STT) random access memory (RAM), for example, has a subarray of bitcells and an electro-magnet positioned adjacent the subarray. A magnetic field is directed through a ferromagnetic device of bitcells of the first subarray to assist in the changing of states of bitcells of the subarray from a first state to a second state in which the ferromagnetic device of the bitcell is changed from one of parallel and anti-parallel polarization to the other of parallel and anti-parallel polarization. Accordingly, the content of the subarray may be readily preset or erased to one of the parallel or anti-parallel state with assistance from an electro-magnet. During a normal write operation, the bits to the other state are written. Other aspects are described herein.
