Abstract: Embodiments of the disclosure are drawn to apparatuses, systems, methods for an internet of things (IoT) system to include edge devices that perform at least some functions without communicating with a cloud computing system. An edge device may include a memory with on-memory pattern matching capabilities. The edge device may perform pattern matching operations on data collected by the edge device or sensors in communication with the edge device. Based on results of the pattern matching operations, the edge device may perform various functions, such as transmitting data to the cloud computing system, activating an alarm, and/or changing a frequency at which data is transmitted.

Abstract: Methods, devices, and systems related to memory device on-die ECC data are described. In an example, a scrub operation can be performed on data in order to determine which rows of memory cells in an array include a particular number of errors. The particular number of errors can be a number of errors that exceed a threshold number of errors. An address of the determined rows with the particular number of errors can be stored in memory cells of the array for later access. The address of the determined rows can be accessed to perform a user-initiated repair operation, a self-repair operation, a refresh operation, and/or to alter timing of access of the cells or alter voltage of the cells.

Abstract: Memory devices and systems with programmable refresh order and stagger times are disclosed herein. In one embodiment, a memory device includes a first memory bank group and a second memory bank group. The memory device is configured, in response to a refresh command, to perform a first refresh operation on the first memory bank group at a first time and a second refresh operation on the second memory bank group at a second time after the first time. The memory device is further configured to perform, in response to a read or write command, a read or write operation on the first memory bank group, the second memory bank group, or both the first and second memory bank groups after beginning the first refresh operation and before completing the second refresh operation.

Abstract: Systems, apparatuses, and methods related to using memory device sensors are described. Some memory system or device types include sensors embedded in their circuitry. For instance, a device can be coupled to a memory device with an embedded sensor. The memory device can transmit the data generated by the embedded sensor using a sensor output coupled to the device. The memory device may generate, based at least in part on a characteristic of a memory device, a signal from a sensor embedded in the memory device and transmit the signal generated by the sensor from the memory device to another device coupled to the memory device.

Abstract: Memory devices and systems with automatic background precondition upon powerup, and associated methods, are disclosed herein. In one embodiment, a memory device includes a memory array having a plurality of memory cells and a fuse array configured to store precondition data. The precondition data can identify a portion of the memory array, specify a predetermined precondition state, or a combination thereof. When the memory device powers on, the memory device can be configured to automatically retrieve the precondition data from the fuse array and/or to write memory cells in the portion of the memory array to the predetermined precondition state before executing an access command.

Abstract: A memory device may include a phase driver circuit that may output a first voltage for refreshing a plurality of memory cells. The memory device may also include a plurality of word line driver circuits that may receive the first voltage via the phase driver circuit, such that each word line driver circuit of the plurality of word line driver circuits may provide the first voltage to a respective word line associated with a respective portion of the plurality of memory cells. In addition, each word line driver circuit may refresh the respective portion of the plurality of memory cells based on a respective word line enable signal provided to a first switch of the respective word line driver circuit.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for persistent health monitoring for volatile memory devices are described. A memory device may determine that an operating condition associated with an array of memory cells on the device, such as a temperature, current, voltage, or other metric of health status is outside of a range associated with a risk of device degradation. The memory device may monitor a duration over which the operating condition is outside of the range, and may determine whether the duration satisfies a threshold. In some cases, the memory device may store an indication of when (e.g., each time) the duration satisfied the threshold. The memory device may store the one or more indications in one or more non-volatile storage elements, such as fuses, which may enable the memory device to maintain a persistent indication of a cumulative duration over which the memory device is operated with operating conditions outside of the range.

Abstract: Tracking circuitry may be used to determine if commands and/or command sequences include illegal commands and/or illegal command sequences. If the commands and/or command sequences include illegal commands and/or illegal command sequences, the tracking circuitry may activate signals that prevent execution of the commands and/or notice of the detected illegal commands and/or command sequences.

Abstract: Memory devices and systems with partial array refresh control over memory regions in a memory array, and associated methods, are disclosed herein. In one embodiment, a memory device includes a memory array having a first memory region and a second memory region. The memory device is configured to write data to the memory array in accordance with a programming sequence by initially writing data to unutilized memory cells of the first memory region before initially writing data to unutilized memory cells of the second memory region. The memory device is further configured to determine that the data stored on the first and/or second memory regions is not consolidated, and to consolidate at least a portion of the data by rewriting the portion of the data to physically or logically contiguous memory cells of the first memory region and/or the second memory region.
