Abstract:
Embodiments of the disclosure are drawn to apparatuses and methods for command/address tracking in memory. Tracking circuitry may be used to determine if commands and/or command sequences include illegal commands and/or illegal command sequences. If the commands and/or command sequences include illegal commands and/or illegal command sequences, the tracking circuitry may activate signals that prevent execution of the commands and/or notice of the detected illegal commands and/or command sequences.
Abstract:
Embodiments of the disclosure are drawn to apparatuses, systems, methods for performing operations associated with machine learning. Machine learning operations may include processing a data set, training a machine learning algorithm, and applying a trained algorithm to a data set. Some of the machine learning operations, such as pattern matching operations, may be performed within a memory device.
Abstract:
Embodiments of the disclosure are drawn to apparatuses, systems, methods, and memories that are capable of performing pattern matching operations within a memory device. The pattern matching operations may be performed on data stored within the memory based on a pattern stored in a register, lire result of the pattern matching operation may be provided by the memory. The data may be retrieved from a memory array for the pattern matching operation by a read operation, a refresh operation, an error correction operation, and/or a pattern matching operation. The data may be retrieved from incoming data input lines instead of or in addition to the memory array. How the data is stored or retrieved for pattern matching operations may be controlled by a memory controller.
Abstract:
Methods, systems, and devices for voltage adjustment based on, for example, pending refresh operations are described. A memory device may periodically perform refresh operations to refresh volatile memory cells and may at times postpone performing one or more refresh operations. A memory device may determine a quantity of pending (e.g., postponed) refresh operations, such as by determining a quantity of refresh intervals that have elapsed without receiving or executing a refresh command, among other methods. A memory device may pre-emptively adjust (or cause to be adjusted) a supply voltage associated with the memory device or memory device component based on the quantity of pending refresh operations to prepare for the current demand associated with the performing the one or more pending refresh operations. For example, the memory device may increase a supply voltage associated with one or more components to prepare for performing multiple pending refresh operations.

Abstract:
In a phase modulation method enable signals may be sequentially generating based on a clock signal to generate a sequence of enable signals, and a signal is delayed by delay values generated from delay cells based on the sequence of enable signals and digital bit values. A phase modulator may include a first delay circuit configured to: delay a clock signal based on a first delay value to generate a first delayed clock signal, and delay a carrier signal based on the first delayed clock signal to generate a first delayed carrier signal; and a second delay circuit configured to: delay the first delayed clock signal based on a second delay value to generate a second delayed clock signal, and delay the first delayed carrier signal based on the second delayed clock signal to generate a second delayed carrier signal.
Abstract:
Systems and methods include capture circuitry configured to capture a write signal from a host device using a data strobe signal from the host device and to output one or more indications of capture of the write signal. Calculation circuitry is configured to receive the data strobe signal, receive the one or more indications of capture, and determine a delay between a first edge of the data strobe signal and receipt of the one or more indications of capture. The systems and methods also include transmission and control circuitry configured to launch subsequent write signals at a time based at least in part on the delay.

An example apparatus comprises a host and a processing in memory (PIM) capable device coupled to the host via an interface comprising a sideband channel. The PIM capable device comprises an array of memory cells coupled to sensing circuitry and is configured to perform bit vector operations on data stored in the array, and the host comprises a PIM control component to perform virtual address resolution for PIM operations prior to providing a number of corresponding bit vector operations to the PIM capable device via the sideband channel.
Abstract:
A system and method of refreshing dynamic random access memory (DRAM) are disclosed. A device includes a DRAM, a bus, and a system-on-chip (SOC) coupled via the bus to the DRAM. The SOC is configured to refresh the DRAM at a particular refresh rate based on a temperature of the DRAM and based on calibration data determined based on one or more calibration tests performed while the SOC is coupled to the DRAM.
