    Abstract: The present disclosure includes apparatuses and methods for memory system data management. A number of embodiments include writing data from a host to a buffer in the memory system, receiving, at the buffer, a notification from a memory device in the memory system that the memory device is ready to receive data, sending at least a portion of the data from the buffer to the memory device, and writing the portion of the data to the memory device.

    Abstract: Methods of operating a memory include determining a voltage level of a plurality of voltage levels at which a memory cell is deemed to first activate in response to applying the to a control gate of that memory cell for each memory cell of a plurality of memory cells, determining a plurality of voltage level distributions from numbers of memory cells of a first subset of memory cells deemed to first activate at each voltage level of the plurality of voltage levels, determining a transition between a pair of voltage level distributions for each adjacent pair of voltage level distributions, and assigning a respective data state to each memory cell of a second subset of memory cells responsive to the determined voltage level at which that memory cell is deemed to first activate and respective voltage levels of the transitions for each adjacent pair of voltage level distributions.

    Abstract: Apparatuses and methods for reducing read disturb are described herein. An example apparatus may include a first memory subblock including a first select gate drain (SGD) switch and a first select gate source (SGS) switch, a second memory subblock including a second SGD switch and a second SGS switch, and an access line associated with the first and second memory subblocks. The apparatus may include a control unit configured to enable the first and second SGD switches and the first and second SGS switches during a first portion of a read operation and to provide a first voltage on the access line during the first portion. The control unit may be configured to disable the first SGD switch and the first SGS switches during a second portion of the read operation and to provide a second voltage on the access line during the second portion.

    Abstract: Apparatuses and methods for threshold voltage (Vt) distribution determination are described. A number of apparatuses can include sense circuitry configured to determine a first current on a source line of an array of memory cells, the first current corresponding to a first quantity of memory cells of a group of memory cells that conducts in response to a first sensing voltage applied to an access line and determine a second current on the source line, the second current corresponding to a second quantity of memory cells of the group that conducts in response to a second sensing voltage applied to the access line. The number of apparatuses can include a controller configured to determine at least a portion of a Vt distribution corresponding to the group of memory cells based, at least in part, on the first current and the second current.

    Abstract: Methods for memory input timing self-calibration, apparatuses for input timing self-calibration, and systems are disclosed. One such method includes sequentially programming a plurality of delay trim settings into a delay circuit of a data path. The data path can include a data latch coupled to the delay circuit. A clock is coupled to the data latch to clock data into the data latch. Transitions of the data are substantially aligned with transitions of the clock. An output of the data latch is read after each delay trim setting is programmed. A boundary is determined between a first output state of the data latch and a second output state of the data latch wherein the boundary is associated with a particular delay trim setting of the plurality of delay trim settings. The particular delay trim setting is programmed into the delay circuit.

    Abstract: A system includes a plurality of sensing devices, a first multiplexer, a plurality of local return clock signal paths, a second multiplexer, and a data latch. Each sensing device outputs data onto a respective local data path in response to a clock signal on a clock signal path. The first multiplexor passes data from a selected local data path to a global data path. Each local return clock signal path is coupled to the clock signal path at a respective sensing device such that each local return clock signal path is routed along with a respective local data path. The second multiplexor passes a return clock signal from a selected local return clock signal path corresponding to the selected local data path to a global return clock signal path. The data latch latches the data on the global data path into the data latch in response to the return clock signal on the global return clock signal path.
