    Abstract: An example apparatus may perform concurrent threshold voltage compensation in a memory array with distributed row redundancy. The example apparatus may include a memory cell array having a mat having a plurality of row sections that each include respective prime memory cell rows and a respective redundant memory cell row. The example apparatus may further include a row decoder configured to receive an access command and a prime row address. The row decoder may be configured to, in response to a determination that the prime row address matches a defective prime row address, concurrently initiate a threshold voltage compensation operation on both of a prime row of the respective plurality of prime rows of memory cells of a first row section of the plurality of row sections corresponding to the prime row address and the respective redundant row of a second row section of the plurality of row sections.

    Abstract: Memory devices are disclosed. A memory device may include a memory array including a number of memory cells partitioned into a number of memory segments. Each of the number of memory segments may include a redundant memory-cell group configurable to be accessed instead of a defective memory-cell group of the memory segment. The memory device may also include a set of latches configurable to indicate that a redundant memory-cell group of a memory segment of the number of memory segments is to be accessed instead of a defective memory-cell group of the memory segment. The set of latches may include segment latches configurable to indicate the memory segment or a status of the set of latches. The set of latches may also include address latches configurable to indicate the defective memory-cell group within the memory segment. Related systems and methods are also disclosed.

    Abstract: Apparatuses and methods for refreshing memory cells of a semiconductor device are described. An example apparatus includes: a memory cell array including a plurality of memory groups each having a plurality of memory cells, the memory groups being selected by mutually different addresses; a first control circuit periodically executing a refresh operation on the memory groups in response to a first refresh command; and a second control circuit setting a cycle of executing the refresh operation by the first control circuit. The second control circuit sets the cycle to a first cycle until executing the refresh operation to all the memory groups after receiving the first refresh command, and the second control circuit sets the cycle to a second cycle that is longer than the first cycle after executing the refresh operation to all the memory groups.
