    Abstract: Methods and apparatuses for a system error-correction code function are presented. The apparatus includes a memory configured to communicate with a host via at least one data connection and at least one non-data connection. The memory includes a memory array. The memory array includes a first portion and a second portion. The memory is further configured to, in a first mode, store and output data in the first portion and the second portion of the memory array. The first portion is addressable by a first address, and the second portion is addressable by a second address. The memory is further configured to, in a second mode, receive ECC of the data from the host via the at least one non-data connection, store the data in the first portion of the memory array, and store the ECC of the data in the second portion of the memory array based on the first address.

    Abstract: This disclosure provides systems, methods, and devices for memory systems that support an efficient mode for reducing power consumption in a memory module while maintaining access to all contents of memory. In a first aspect, a method includes communicating, by a memory module, first data stored in a first plurality of banks to a host device through a first sub-channel in a first operating mode; communicating second data stored in the second plurality of banks to the host device through a second sub-channel in the first operating mode; receiving a command to enter a second operating mode; and communicating third data stored in the first plurality of banks and fourth data stored in the second plurality of banks to the host device through the first sub-channel in the second operating mode. Other aspects and features are also claimed and described.

    Abstract: This disclosure provides systems, methods, and devices for memory systems that support metadata. In a first aspect, a method includes receiving, from a host, a message comprising instructions to configure a first portion of a memory array for storage of data and metadata and to configure a second portion of the memory array for storage of only data and configuring the memory array in accordance with the received message. Other aspects and features are also claimed and described.

    Abstract: A hybrid memory system with improved bandwidth is disclosed. In one aspect, a memory system is provided that increases bandwidth relative to the JEDEC low-power double data rate version 5 (LPDDR5) standard. This improvement is made possible by increasing a data conductor count from sixteen to twenty-four. Optionally, the bandwidth may be further improved by increasing a clock frequency from a first value to a second value. This allows the hybrid memory system to provide improved bandwidth without the complications of merely doubling pin counts or doubling clock speed. Further, coding techniques tailored to the pin count and pin layout are provided.

    Abstract: A memory system with adaptive refresh commands is disclosed. In one aspect, a memory system or device that has multiple banks within a channel may receive a per bank command that indicates a first bank to be refreshed and provides additional information about a second bank to be refreshed. In a further exemplary aspect, a quad bank refresh command may be sent that indicates a first bank to be refreshed and provides additional information about second through fourth banks to be refreshed. In a further exemplary aspect, an octa bank refresh command may be sent that indicates a first bank to be refreshed and provides additional information about second through eighth banks to be refreshed. The three new refresh commands allow adjacent or spaced banks to be refreshed.
