    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for temperature-based access timing for a memory device are described. In some memory devices, accessing memory cells may be associated with different operations that are variously dependent on a temperature of the memory device. For example, some operations associated with accessing a memory cell may have a longer duration and others a shorter duration depending on the temperature of the memory device. In accordance with examples as disclosed herein, a memory device may be configured for performing some portions of an access operation according to a duration that is proportional to a temperature of the memory device, and performing other portions of the access operation according to a duration that is inversely proportional to a temperature of the memory device.

    Abstract: Apparatuses and methods for implementing masked write commands are disclosed herein. An example apparatus may include a memory bank, a local buffer circuit, and an address control circuit. The local buffer circuit may be associated with the memory bank. The address control circuit may be coupled to the memory bank and configured to receive a command and an address associated with the command. The address control circuit may include a global buffer circuit configured to store the address. The address control circuit may further be configured to delay the command using one of a plurality of command paths based, at least in part, on a write latency and to provide the address stored in the global buffer circuit to the local buffer circuit to be stored therein.

    Abstract: Apparatuses and techniques for handling faulty usage-based-disturbance data are described. In an example aspect, a memory device uses a report flag to indicate that an address of a row that corresponds to the faulty usage-based-disturbance data is logged at a global-bank level and is accessible by a host device. The report flag also enables the memory device to avoid reporting another error until the host device has cleared information associated with a previously-reported error. In another example aspect, the memory device temporarily prevents usage-based-disturbance mitigation from being performed based on the faulty usage-based-disturbance data. This means that if the faulty usage-based-disturbance data would otherwise trigger refreshing of one or more rows that are proximate to the row corresponding to the faulty usage-based-disturbance data, the memory device does not perform these refresh operations. This is beneficial by conserving resources for refreshing victim rows that are identified based on valid usage-based-disturbance data.

    Abstract: Apparatuses and techniques for implementing usage-based-disturbance alert signaling are described. The technology allows usage-based-disturbance (UBD) alerts to be externally communicated from a memory device without a dedicated external interface. Rather, UBD alerts are combined with memory error/alert signals and communicated on a shared alert-related interface. UBD tracking occurs at the memory bank level, with corresponding independent UBD alert signals. These signals are efficiently combined to generate an overall UBD alert. A temporary backoff signal is generated when an overall UBD alert is sent. The backoff signal ensures requisite external timing parameters are met while allowing the individual memory banks to generate persistent UBD alerts.

    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for error control for memory device are described. A memory device may be configured to perform memory management operations including error control operations. For example, a memory device may be configured to perform an error control operation on data stored in a first memory cell coupled with a source row of a memory array. The memory device may be configured to write the data to a second memory cell coupled with the target row of the memory array based on performing the error control operation on the data and determine whether the management operation is complete based at least in part on the first column address of the first memory cell. The memory device may also generate an output signal to perform the error control operation on a third memory cell coupled with the source row based on determining whether the management operation is complete.

    Abstract: Apparatuses and techniques for logging a memory address associated with faulty usage-based disturbance data are described. In an example aspect, a memory device can detect, at a local-bank level, a fault associated with usage-based disturbance data. This detection enables the memory device to log a row address associated with the faulty usage-based disturbance data. To avoid increasing a complexity and/or a size of the memory device, some implementations of the memory device can perform the address logging at the multi-bank level with the assistance of an engine, such as a test engine. The memory device stores the logged address in at least one mode register to communicate the fault to a memory controller. With the logged address, the memory controller can initiate a repair procedure to fix the faulty usage-based disturbance data.
