Abstract: Apparatuses and methods for executing row hammer (RH) refresh are described. An example apparatus includes a RH control circuit to provide a row hammer address, and a refresh control circuit to perform a RH refresh operation on a memory address array related to the RH address. The RH control circuit includes first latches each to store an old row address used to access the memory and second latches provided correspondingly to the first latches each set to a state indicating whether the old row address stored in one of the first latches is valid. The RH control circuit further including a signal generator configured to assert a sample signal when a new row address to be used to access the memory array matches the old row address stored in any one of the first latches is valid based on a state of one of the second latches.

Abstract: Apparatuses and methods for triggering row hammer address sampling are described. An example apparatus includes an oscillator circuit configured to provide a clock signal, and a filter circuit. The filter circuit includes a control circuit configured to receive pulses of the clock signal and provide an output signal that represents a count number by counting a number of pulses of the clock signal and control a probability of enabling the output signal based on the count number. The filter circuit further includes a logic gate configured to pass one of the pulses of the clock signal responsive to the output signal from the control circuit being enabled and filter another of the pulses responsive to the output signal from the control circuit being not enabled.

Abstract: Embodiments of the disclosure are drawn to apparatuses and methods for generating multiple row hammer address refresh sequences. An example apparatus may include an address scrambler and a refresh control circuit. The address scrambler may receive a first address, output a second address in response to a first control signal, and output a third address in response to a second control signal. The second address may physically adjacent to the first address and the third address may physically adjacent to the second address. The refresh control circuit may perform a refresh operation on the second address when the first control signal is active and perform the refresh operation on the third address when the second control signal is active.
