Abstract: In some examples, a memory device is configured to receive a precharge command and an activate command. The memory device performs a first series of events related to the precharge command in response to receiving the precharge command and a second series of events related to the activate command in response to receiving the activate command. The memory device delays the start of the second series of events until the first series of events completes.

Abstract: A technique for detecting tampering attempts directed at a memory device includes setting each of a plurality of detection memory cells to an initial predetermined state, where corresponding portions of the plurality of detection memory cells are included in each of the arrays of data storage memory cells on the memory device. A plurality of corresponding reference bits on the memory device permanently store information representative of the initial predetermined state of each of the detection memory elements. When a tamper detection check is performed, a comparison between the reference bits and the current state of the detection memory cells is used to determine whether any of the detection memory cells have changed state from their initial predetermined states. Based on the comparison, a tamper detect indication is flagged if a threshold level of change is determined. Once a tampering attempt is detected, responses on the memory device include disabling one or more memory operations and generating a mock current to emulate current expected during normal operation.

Abstract: A boosted supply voltage generator is selectively activated and deactivated to allow operations that are sensitive to variations on the boosted voltage to be performed with a stable boosted voltage. Techniques for deactivating and reactivating the voltage generator are also disclosed that enable more rapid recovery from deactivation such that subsequent operations can be commenced sooner. Such techniques include storing state information corresponding to the voltage generator when deactivated, where the stored state information is used when reactivating the voltage generator. Stored state information can include a state of a clock signal provided to the voltage generator.
