Abstract: Disclosed are techniques for correcting drift accumulation in memory cells. In some aspects, the techniques described herein relate to a memory device including: a memory array, the memory array including a set of memory cells; and a memory controller configured to read data from the memory array, the memory controller configured to: sense a first distribution of the set of memory cells, detect a missing cell in the first distribution, increase a voltage on the missing cell causing the missing cell to be read as part of the first distribution, detect that a second memory cell in a second distribution was read while sensing the first distribution, and mask the second memory cell and mark the second memory cell as belonging to the second distribution.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for memory cell read operation techniques are described. A memory device may determine a starting voltage for a second phase of a read operation for a set of memory cells which may have a different magnitude than a magnitude of a starting voltage of a first phase of the read operation. For example, the memory device may use an ending voltage of the first phase to determine the starting voltage for the second phase. In some cases, the starting voltage for the second phase may correspond to a difference of a voltage offset and the ending voltage of the first phase. As part of the second phase of the read operation, the memory device may apply a sequence of voltages to the set of memory cells in accordance with the determined starting voltage of the second phase.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for circuitry borrowing in memory arrays are described. In one example, a host device may transmit an access command associated with data for a first memory section to a memory device. The first memory section may be located between a second memory section and a third memory section. A first set of circuitry shared by the first memory section and the second memory section may be operated using drivers associated with the first memory section and drivers associated with the second memory section. A second set of circuitry shared by the first memory section and the third memory section may be operated using drivers associated with the first memory section and drivers associated with the third memory section. An access operation may be performed based on operating the first set of circuitry and the second set of circuitry.

Abstract: Apparatus and methods disclose techniques to control access to a memory array. The memory array can be accessed by either a first interface or a second interface. A switch register grants privilege levels, which control access. For example, a high privilege level can grant access and a low privilege level can deny access. A status register indicates when an interface with a high privilege level is busy accessing the memory array.

Abstract: The memory device includes a plurality of memory chips of a certain capacity assembled in a single package and sharing input/output pins, the memories being selectable and singularly enabled one at the time by appropriate external commands coherently with the currently addressed memory location. The device uses only one external enable/disable logic command applied through a single dedicated pin. Each of the memory chips has a number of additional input/output pads equal to 2*n, where 2n is the number of memory chips contained in the device, and a dedicated circuit that generates an internal enable/disable command, as a function of logic inputs corresponding to the logic states of the additional pads and the external enable/disable command.
