摘要:
Systems and methods of memory cell wear management that can achieve a more uniform distribution of write cycles across a memory cell address space. The systems and methods allow physical addresses of memory cells subjected to a high number of write cycles to be swapped with physical addresses of memory cells subjected to a lower number of write cycles. The physical address of a group of memory cells is a “hot address” if the write cycle count for that memory cell group exceeds a specified threshold. If the write cycle count for a group of memory cells does not exceed the specified threshold, then the physical address of that memory cell group is a “cold address”. The systems and methods allow the specified threshold of write cycle counts to be dynamically incremented to assure that cold addresses are available for swapping with hot addresses in the memory cell address space.

An embodiment may include local row and column circuitry that are local to a memory cell of a memory device. Either the local row circuitry or the local column circuitry may be electrically isolated, at least in part, from at least one remaining portion of the memory device during the establishing of a voltage differential between the local row circuitry and the local column circuitry that is to permit the memory cell to be read during a read of the memory cell. The read may occur subsequent to the establishing of the voltage differential. Many variations, modifications, and alternatives are possible without departing from this embodiment.

Some embodiments include methods and devices having a module and memory cells. The module is configured to reduce the amount of electrons in the sources and drains of the memory cells during a programming operation.

Examples are disclosed for techniques associated with protecting system critical data written to non-volatile memory. In some examples, system critical data may be written to a non-volatile memory using a first data protection scheme. User data that includes non-system critical data may also be written to the non-volatile memory using a second data protection scheme. For these examples, both data protection schemes may have a same given data format size. Various examples are provided for use of the first data protection scheme that may provide enhanced protection for the system critical data compared to protection provided to user data using the second data protection scheme. Other examples are described and claimed.

Apparatus, systems, and methods for error correction in memory are described. In one embodiment, a memory controller comprises logic to receive a read request for data stored in a memory, retrieve the data and at least one associated error correction codeword, wherein the data and an associated error correction codeword is distributed across a plurality of memory devices in memory, apply a first error correction routine to decode the error correction codeword retrieved with the data and in response to an uncorrectable error in the error correction codeword, apply a second error correction routine to the plurality of devices in memory. Other embodiments are also disclosed and claimed.
