    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for operating a ferroelectric memory cell or cells are described. An electronic memory device may include a plurality of plate portions separated by a plurality of segmentation lines, which may be oriented in a plane parallel to rows of a memory array or columns of the memory array, or both. The segmented plate may be employed instead of a single plate for the array. The one or more plate portions may be energized during access operations of a ferroelectric cell in order to create a voltage different across the cell or to facilitate changing the charge of the cell. Each of the plate portions may include one or more memory cells. The memory cells on a plate portion may be read from or written to after the plate portion is activated by a plate driver.

    Abstract: Apparatuses and methods for performing memory operations are described. An example apparatus includes a memory operation controller. The memory operation controller is configured to receive memory instructions and decode the same to provide internal signals for performing memory operations for the memory instructions. The memory operation controller is further configured to provide information indicative of a time for a variable latency period of a memory instruction during the variable latency period. In an example method, a write instruction and an address to which write data is to be written is received at a memory and an acknowledgement indicative of an end of a variable latency period for the write instruction is provided. After waiting a variable bus turnaround after the acknowledgement, write data for the write instruction is received.

    Abstract: A memory array and a method of writing to a unidirectional non-volatile storage cell are disclosed whereby a user data word is transformed to an internal data word and written to one or more unidirectional data storage cells according to a cell coding scheme. A check word may be generated that corresponds to the internal data word. In some embodiments, the check word may be generated by inverting one or more bits of an intermediate check word. Other embodiments may be described and claimed.

    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for decoder architecture for memory device are described. An apparatus includes a memory array having a memory cell and an access line coupled with the cell and a decoder having a first stage and a second stage. The decoder supplying a first voltage during a first access operation and a second voltage during a second access operation to the access line. The second stage of the decoder includes a first transistor that supplies the first voltage based on a third voltage at the source of the first transistor exceeding a fourth voltage at a gate of the first transistor and a first threshold voltage. The second stage includes a second transistor that supplies the second voltage based on a fifth voltage at a gate of the second transistor exceeding a sixth voltage at the source of the second transistor and a second threshold voltage.
