    Abstract: In a non-volatile memory device having an array of non-volatile storage elements, control information received via one or more control input nodes indicates, at different times, that (i) data signals representative of data to be stored within the array of non-volatile storage elements are to be received via a plurality of input/output (I/O) nodes of the non-volatile memory device, and (ii) data signals representative of data read from the array of non-volatile storage elements are to be output via the plurality of I/O nodes. First termination elements are switchably coupled to and decoupled from the I/O nodes based at least in part on the control information, and second termination elements are switchably coupled to and decoupled from the one or more control input nodes based at least in part on the control information.

    Abstract: Components of a memory system, such as a memory controller and memory device, which detect accumulated memory read disturbances and correct such disturbances before they reach a level that causes errors. The memory device includes a memory array and a disturbance control circuit. The memory array includes a plurality of memory rows. Each memory row is associated with a disturbance warning circuit having a state that corresponds to an accumulated disturbance in the memory row. The disturbance control circuit determines, responsive to an activation of a memory row of the plurality of memory rows specified by a row access command, whether the disturbance condition is present in the memory row based on the state of the disturbance warning circuit associated with the memory row. If a disturbance condition is present, the disturbance control circuit causes a recovery operation to be performed on the memory row to reduce the accumulated disturbances.

    Abstract: Components of a memory system, such as a memory controller and a memory device, that reduce delay in exiting self-refresh mode by controlling the refresh timing of the memory device. The memory device includes a memory core. An interface circuit of the memory device receives an external refresh signal indicating an intermittent refresh event. A refresh circuit of the memory device generates an internal refresh signal indicating an internal refresh event of the memory device. A refresh control circuit of the memory device performs a refresh operation on a portion of the memory core responsive to the internal refresh event, at a time relative to the intermittent refresh event indicated by the external refresh signal.

    Abstract: A memory controller includes a clock generator to generate a first clock signal and a timing circuit to generate a second clock signal from the first clock signal. The second clock signal times communications with any of a plurality of memory devices in respective ranks, including a first memory device in a first rank and a second memory device in a second rank. The timing circuit is configured to adjust a phase of the first clock signal, when the memory controller is communicating with the second memory device, based on calibration data associated with the second memory device and timing adjustment data associated with feedback from at least the first memory device.
