    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for repair operation techniques are described. A memory device may detect a failure of a read operation associated with a physical row address of a memory die. The memory device may store information associated with the physical row address before performing a media management operation and after detecting the failure. Additionally or alternatively, the memory device may initiate a counter based on detecting the failure and may increment a value of the counter for each media management operation performed after detecting the failure. The memory device may send a command or other information to perform a repair operation for the physical row address. The memory device may determine the physical row address for the repair operation (e.g., despite media management operations) based on the stored information or the value of the counter, and may perform the repair operation on the physical row address.

    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for address obfuscation for memory are described. A mapping function may map a logical address of data to a physical address of a memory cell. The mapping function may be implemented with a mapping component that includes mapping subcomponents. Each mapping subcomponent may be independently configurable to implement a logic function for determining a bit of the physical address. The mapping function may vary across memory devices or aspects of memory device, and in some cases may vary over time.

    Abstract: Apparatuses and methods for tracking all row accesses in a memory device over time may be used to identify rows which are being hammered so that ‘victim’ rows may be identified and refreshed. A register stack may include a number of count values, each of which may track a number of accesses to a portion of the word lines of the memory device. Anytime a row within a given portion is accessed, the associated count value may be incremented. When a count value exceeds a first threshold, a second stack with a second number of count values may be used to track numbers of accesses to sub-portions of the given portion. When a second count value exceeds a second threshold, victim addresses may be provided to refresh the victim word lines associated with any of the word lines within the sub-portion.

    Abstract: Apparatus and methods for hybrid post package repair are disclosed. One such apparatus may include a package including memory cells and volatile memory. The volatile memory may be configured to store defective address data corresponding to a first portion of the memory cells that are deemed defective post-packaging. The apparatus may also include a decoder configured to select a second portion of the memory cells instead of the first portion of the memory cells when received current address data corresponding to an address to be accessed matches the defective address data stored in the volatile memory. The apparatus may also include non-volatile memory in the package. The apparatus may also include a mapping logic circuit in the package. The mapping logic circuit may be configured to program the replacement address data to the non-volatile memory subsequent to the defective address data being stored to the volatile memory.

    Abstract: Apparatuses, sense circuits, and methods for controlling a clock signal to a clock tree is described. An example apparatus includes a consecutive write command detection circuit configured to detect whether a next write command is received within a consecutive write command period of a current write command responsive to the current write command provided at an output of the write command register. The example apparatus further includes a clock signal control circuit coupled to the consecutive write command detection circuit and configured to control a clock signal to an input/output (I/O) latch based on whether the consecutive write command detection circuit detects that the next write command is within the consecutive write command period.

    Abstract: This disclosure relates to error correction circuitry. In one aspect, an error correction circuit can serially receive a digit stream and parse the digit stream into substrings of a predetermined length of digits. Each of the substrings can include data digits and parity digits in certain embodiments. As the substring is received, parity can be tracked in defined regions of the substring. When the entire sub string has been received, an error in one of the data digits of the sub string can be corrected based on an indication of parity in at least one defined region in some embodiments. Then corrected data, which can include the corrected data digit and the other data digits of the substring, can be stored. According to certain embodiments, the error correction circuit can be implemented by asynchronous circuitry.
