    Abstract: Apparatuses and techniques for counting 0 or 1 bits in a set of bits using both serial and parallel processes. The counting process includes a hierarchy in which the count from different parallel processes at one level in the hierarchy are passed to a smaller number of different parallel processes at a lower level in the hierarchy. A final count is obtained by an accumulator below the lowest level of the hierarchy. The position and configuration of the circuits can be set to equalize a number of circuits which process the different bits, so that a maximum delay relative to the accumulator is equalized.

    Abstract: A memory circuit includes an array subdivided into multiple divisions, each connectable to a corresponding set of access circuitry. A serializer/deserializer circuit is connected to a data bus and the access circuitry to convert data between a (word-wise) serial format on the bus and (multi-word) parallel format for the access circuitry. Column redundancy circuitry is connect to the serializer/deserializer circuit to provide defective column information about the array. In converting data from a serial to a parallel format, the serializer/deserializer circuit skips words of the data in the parallel format based on the defective column information indicating that the location corresponds to a defective column. In converting data from a parallel to a serial format the serializer/deserializer circuit skips words of the data in the parallel format based on the defective column information indicating that the location corresponds to a defective column.

    Abstract: Systems and methods for controlling data flow and data alignment using data expand and compress circuitry arranged between a variable data rate bi-directional first in, first out (FIFO) buffer and one or more memory arrays to compensate for bad column locations within the one or more memory arrays are described. The bi-directional FIFO may have a variable data rate with the array side and a fixed data rate with a serializer/deserializer (SERDES) circuit that drives input/output (I/O) circuitry. The data expand and compress circuitry may pack and unpack data and then align the data passing between the one or more memory arrays and the bi-directional FIFO using a temporary buffer, data shuffling logic, and selective pipeline stalls.
