    摘要: Some embodiments include an integrated assembly having digit lines supported by a base and extending along a first direction. A shield-connection-line is supported by the base and extends along the first direction. Transistor active regions are over the digit lines. Each of the active regions includes a channel region between an upper source/drain region and a lower source/drain region. The lower source/drain regions are coupled with the digit lines. Capacitors are coupled with the upper source/drain regions. Wordlines extend along a second direction which crosses the first direction. The wordlines include gate regions adjacent the channel regions. Shield lines extend along the second direction. The shield lines are above the digit lines and are coupled with the shield-connection-line.

    摘要: Memory devices might include an input/output (I/O) node, a termination device, an array of memory cells in communication with the I/O node through the termination device, and control circuitry, wherein the control circuitry is configured to compare an address received by the memory device to a plurality of instances of address information stored in the memory device. Each instance of address information of the plurality of instances of address information might correspond to a respective termination value stored in the memory device. In response to the memory device receiving an address matching an instance of address information stored in the memory device, the control circuitry might further be configured to activate the termination device using the respective termination value corresponding to the instance of address information matching the received address.

    摘要: One embodiment of the present disclosure describes a memory system that may include one or more memory devices that may store data. The memory devices may receive command signals to access the stored data as a loopback signal. The memory devices may operate in a normal operational mode, a loopback operational mode, a retrieval operational mode, a non-inverting pass-through operational sub-mode, and an inverting pass-through operational sub-mode. The operational modes facilitate the transmission of the loopback signal for the purpose of monitoring of memory device operations. A selective inversion technique, which uses the operational modes, may protect the loopback signal integrity during transmission.

    摘要: According to one embodiment, a memory system, such as a SDIO card, includes a nonvolatile semiconductor memory device, a control section, a memory, an extended function section, and an extension register. The extended function section is controlled by the control section. A first command reads data from the extension register in units of given data lengths. A second command writes data to the extension register in units of given data lengths. A extension register includes a first area, and second area different from the first area, information configured to specify a type of the extended function and controllable driver, and address information indicating a place to which the extended function is assigned, the place being on the extension register, are recorded in the first area, and the second area includes the extended function.

    摘要: An electronic apparatus includes a storage device having a plurality of memory blocks including a first memory block; and a controller configured to control the storage device to perform a read operation for the first memory block in response to a read request of a host. The controller controls the storage device to perform a refresh operation for the first memory block based on whether there is a difference value between a current pass read voltage and a previous pass read voltage which were applied to the first memory block when performing the read operation, and whether there is a difference between a current erase/write count and a previous erase/write count for the first memory block.
