Abstract: A method for operating a memory device is provided. The method includes following steps. First, a priority of a refresh operation and a priority of an inference operation for at least a portion of a memory array of the memory device are determined. The refresh operation and the inference operation are performed according to a determination result of the priority of the refresh operation and the priority of the inference operation. If the priority of the refresh operation is lower than the priority of inference operation, perform the inference operation in the at least a portion, and perform the refresh operation after performing the inference operation. If the priority of the refresh operation is higher than the priority of inference operation, perform the refresh operation in the at least a portion, and perform the inference operation after performing the refresh operation.

Abstract: A memory device includes a high density or 3D data memory and a 3D reference memory. The reference memory is used to generate a reference signal used to sense data in the data memory. Conversion circuitry converts signals from one memory cell or a group of memory cells in the reference memory into a reference signal. The reference signal is applied to a sense amplifier to sense data stored in a selected memory cell in the data memory.
