摘要: Methods, systems, and devices for bank-configurable power modes are described. Aspects include operating a memory device that has multiple memory banks in a first mode. While operating in the first mode, the memory device may receive a command to enter a second mode having a lower power consumption level than the first mode. The memory device may enter the second mode by switching a first subset of the memory banks to a first low power mode that operates at a first power consumption level and a second subset of the memory banks to a second low power mode that operates at a second power consumption level that may be lower than the first power consumption level. In some cases, the memory device may switch the first subset of memory banks from the first low power mode while maintaining the second subset of memory banks in the low power mode.

摘要: Methods, systems, and devices for a memory device with an error correction memory device with fast data access are described. For example, during a read operation, a memory device may be configured to output the data indicated by the read operation concurrent with performing an error correction operation. If the memory device detects an error, the memory device may indicate the error to a host device and, in some cases, output the corrected data to the host device. During a write operation, the memory device may store error detection or correction information associated with data to be stored at the memory device. The memory device may, in some cases, store error detection or correction information generated by the host device.

摘要: Methods, systems, and devices for accessing a ferroelectric memory cell are described. In some examples, during a first portion of an access procedure, the voltages of a digit line and word line coupled with the memory cell may be increased while the voltage of a plate coupled with the memory cell is held constant, which may support sensing a logic state stored by the memory cell prior the access procedure, and which may result in a first logic state being written to the memory cell. A voltage of the plate may then be increased, and the digit line may then be coupled with the plate. Because the first logic state was previously written to the memory cell, a target logic state may not need to be subsequently written to the memory cell unless different than the first logic state.

摘要: Disclosed herein are devices, methods, and systems for calibrating a read voltage level for reading memory cells of a memory. The calibration circuit includes a reference cell associated with a predefined programming state of the reference cell. The calibration circuit also includes a read circuit configured to (e.g., until a read state of the reference cell matches the predefined programming state), perform a read operation on the reference cell at a reference read voltage level to obtain a read state of the reference cell and adjust the reference read voltage level to an adjusted reference read voltage level based on a comparison between the read state and the predefined programming state. The read circuit is configured to provide the adjusted reference read voltage level to the memory as the read voltage level for reading the memory cells of the memory.

摘要: Methods, systems, and devices for imprint recovery management for memory systems are described. In some cases, memory cells may become imprinted, which may refer to conditions where a cell becomes predisposed toward storing one logic state over another, resistant to being written to a different logic state, or both. Imprinted memory cells may be recovered using a recovery or repair process that may be initiated according to various conditions, detections, or inferences. In some examples, a system may be configured to perform imprint recovery operations that are scaled or selected according to a characterized severity of imprint, an operational mode, environmental conditions, and other factors. Imprint management techniques may increase the robustness, accuracy, or efficiency with which a memory system, or components thereof, can operate in the presence of conditions associated with memory cell imprinting.
