    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for grouping power supplies for a power saving mode are described to configure a memory device with groups of internal power supplies whose voltage levels may be successively modified according to a group order signaled by an on-die timer. For example, when the memory device enters a deep sleep mode, respective voltage levels of a first group of internal power supplies may be modified to respective external power supply voltage levels at a first time, respective voltage levels of a second group of internal power supplies may be modified to respective external power supply voltage levels at a second time, and so on. When the memory device exits the deep sleep mode, the groups of internal voltage supplies may be modified from the respective external power supply voltage levels to respective operational voltage levels in a group order that is opposite to the entry group order.

    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for cell bottom node reset in a memory array are described. The memory array may include a plurality of ferroelectric memory cells having a cell bottom node and a cell plate opposite the cell bottom node. A zero voltage may be applied to a plurality of digit lines in the memory array. A plurality of word lines may be activated to electrically coupled the plurality of digit lines to cell bottom node of each of the ferroelectric memory cells. Accordingly, the cell bottom node of each of the ferroelectric memory cells may be reset to the zero voltage.

    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices related to access schemes for access line faults in a memory device are described. In one example, a method may include isolating a first word line of a section of a memory device from a voltage source (e.g., a deselection voltage source) during a first portion of a period when the first word line is deselected, and coupling the first word line with the voltage source during a second portion of the period when the first word line is deselected based on determining that an access operation is performed during the second portion of the period when the word line is deselected. In some examples, the method may include identifying that the first word line is associated with a fault, such as a short circuit fault with a digit line of the memory device.

    Abstract: Disclosed herein is an apparatus that includes a first address generator generating a first address in response to a clock signal; a second address generator generating a second address corresponding to the first address; a first detection circuit activating a first signal when the second address matches with a third address; a second detection circuit activating a second signal when the second address indicates a predetermined state; a first latch circuit latching the first address in response to the first signal; a second latch circuit latching the first address in response to the second signal; a third detection circuit activating a third signal when the first address matches with an address stored in the first latch circuit; a fourth detection circuit activating a fourth signal when the first address matches with an address stored in the second latch circuit; and a first selector selecting the third or fourth signal.

    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for sequential voltage control for a memory device are described. A memory device may have various voltage sources that support different voltage levels used in various operations of the memory device. Voltage sources of a memory device may be disabled under some circumstances, such as when the memory device is idled, or operated in a low-power or powered-down mode, among other circumstances. In accordance with examples as disclosed herein, voltage sources of a memory device or memory die may be sequentially enabled or sequentially disabled. For example, voltage sources may be enabled in an order from voltage sources having relatively higher nominal voltages to voltage sources having relatively lower voltages, or disabled in an order from voltage sources having relatively lower nominal voltages to voltage sources having relatively higher voltages.
