Abstract: A memory device includes a page cache comprising a cache register, a memory array configured with a plurality of memory planes, and control logic, operatively coupled with the memory array. The control logic receives, from a requestor, a first cache read command requesting first data from the memory array spread across the plurality of memory planes, and returns, to the requestor, data associated with a first subset of the plurality of memory planes and pertaining to a previous read command, while concurrently copying data associated with a second subset of the plurality of memory planes and pertaining to the previous read command into the cache register. The control logic further receives, from the requestor, a cache release command, and returns, to the requestor, the data associated with the second subset of the plurality of memory planes and pertaining to the previous read command, while concurrently copying data associated with the first subset of the plurality of memory planes and pertaining to the first cache read command into the cache register.

Abstract: A semiconductor device structure comprises blocks having substantially uniform pitch laterally-extending throughout a first region, a second region laterally-neighboring the first memory region, and a third region laterally-neighboring the second region; memory strings longitudinally-extending through a first portion of the blocks located in the first region; pillar structures longitudinally-extending through a second portion of the blocks located in the second region; conductive contacts longitudinally-extending through a third portion of the blocks located in the third region; and conductive line structures electrically coupled to and laterally-extending between the memory strings and the conductive contacts. Each of the blocks comprises tiers, each tier comprising a conductive structure and an insulating structure longitudinally-neighboring the conductive structure. Semiconductor devices and electronic systems are also described.

Abstract: A memory array includes a block including wordlines, bitlines, and strings each connected to a respective bitline. The block is divided into a sub-blocks. Each sub-block includes a respective set of the strings, and each string of the set of strings is located at a sub-block position within its respective sub-block. Control logic performs operations including selecting each sub-block, causing a first voltage to be applied to a dummy wordline to activate a first set of dummy cells and deactivate a second set of dummy cells, and causing a second voltage to be applied to a selected wordline. Each sub-block includes a single string corresponding to an open string connected to a dummy cell of the first set of dummy cells. The second voltage causes data to be read out from each open string to a respective page buffer.

Abstract: Operations include establishing a queue storing a list of data burst commands to be communicated via a multiplexed interface coupled to the set of memory dies, communicating, during a first time period, a first data burst command in the queue to a first memory die of the set of memory dies via the multiplexed interface, and communicating, during a second time period, a second data burst command in the queue to a second memory die of the set of memory dies via the multiplexed interface, where a first latency associated with the first data burst command occurs during the second time period.

Abstract: A memory device can include a memory array including memory cells arranged in one or more pages. The memory array can be coupled to control logic to receive a first request to write first data to a page of the one or more pages and program the first data to the page of the one or more pages at a first time responsive to receiving the first request. The control logic is further to receive a second request to write second data to the page of the one or more pages, read the page of the one or more pages, and program the second data to the page of the one or more pages at a second time responsive to receiving the second request. The control logic can also receive an erase request to erase the one or more pages after the second time.

Abstract: Operations include monitoring a logical level of a first pin of the plurality of pins while a data burst is active, wherein the first pin is associated with at least one of a read enable signal or a data strobe signal, determining whether a period of time during which the logical level of the first pin is held at a first logical level satisfies a threshold condition, in response to determining that the period of time satisfies the threshold condition, continuing to monitor the logical level of the first pin, determining whether the logical level of the first pin changed from the first logical level to a second logical level, and in response to determining that the logical level of the first pin changed from the first logical to the second logical level, causing warmup cycles to be performed.

Abstract: Memory devices might include an array of memory cells, a plurality of access lines, and control logic. The array of memory cells includes a plurality of strings of series-connected memory cells. Each access line of the plurality of access lines is connected to a control gate of a respective memory cell of each string of series-connected memory cells of the plurality of strings of series-connected memory cells. The control logic is configured to: open the array of memory cells for multiple read operations; read first page data from respective memory cells coupled to a selected access line of the plurality of access lines; read second page data from the respective memory cells coupled to the selected access line; and close the array of memory cells subsequent to reading the first page data and the second page data.

Abstract: A request to execute a programming operation to program multiple sub-blocks including a first sub-block and a second sub-block of a memory device is identified. A first drive operation is executed to load first data into a first select gate drain (SGD) associated with the first sub-block. One or more program bias disturb mitigation operations are executed in association with a second drive operation to load second data into a second SGD associated with the second sub-block.

Abstract: A method performed by a processing device receives a plurality of write operation requests, where each of the write operation requests specifies a respective one of the memory units, identifies one or more operating characteristic values, where each operating characteristic value reflects one or more memory access operations performed on a memory device, and determines whether the operating characteristic values satisfy one or more threshold criteria. Responsive to determining that the operating characteristic values satisfy the one or more threshold criteria, the method performs a plurality of write operations, where each of the write operations writes data to the respective one of the memory units, and performs a multiple-read scan operation subsequent to the plurality of write operations, where the multiple-read scan operation reads data from each of the memory units.
