Patent number: 11862252Abstract: A memory device and method of operation are described. The memory device may include memory cells of a first type that each store a single bit of information and memory cells of a second type that each store multiple bits of information. The memory cells of the first type may be more robust to extreme operating conditions than the second type but may have one or more drawbacks (e.g., lower density). The memory device may identify data to be written, and in response, may identify a temperature of the memory device. If the temperature is within a nominal operating range associated with a low risk of memory errors, the memory device may write the data to the memory cells of the second type. If the temperature is outside the nominal operating range, the memory device may write the data to the memory cells of the first type.Type: GrantFiled: January 11, 2023Date of Patent: January 2, 2024Assignee: Micron Technology, Inc.Inventor: Minjian Wu

Publication number: 20230409708Abstract: A system to progressively generate responses configured to mitigate risk associated with row hammer attacks. Between two successive refreshing of memory cells in a memory device, increasing thresholds are used to detect row hammer attacks. For example, after a first alert of row hammer attacks is generated using a first lower threshold, a first operation associated with the first lower threshold is initiated to mitigate risk associated with row hammer attack; and a second higher threshold is used to detect row hammer attacks. After a second alert of row hammer attacks is generated using the second lower threshold, a second operation associated with the second lower threshold is initiated to mitigate risk associated with row hammer attack.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 17, 2022Publication date: December 21, 2023Inventors: Kai Wang, Minjian Wu

Publication number: 20230393931Abstract: A memory device and a host system configured to transmit, using serial peripheral interfaces, an item (e.g., a command, an address, or a data item) followed by a cyclic redundancy check value of the item using operations same as transmission of one or more bits of the item. If the received cyclic redundancy check value does not match with the cyclic redundancy check value computed from the received item, an interrupt signal can be transmitted via a control line of a serial peripheral interface bus to request re-transmission of the item. When the host system detects a transmission error in receiving data from the memory device the serial peripheral interface bus, the host system can terminate the read command and re-transmit the read command.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 7, 2022Publication date: December 7, 2023Inventor: Minjian Wu

Patent number: 11829268Abstract: A memory device and method of operation are described. The memory device may include NAND memory. The memory device may configure a host device to maintain a host-side buffer for data backup. When the memory device determines an error associated with attempting to write data to a page of memory in a memory block, the memory device may indicate the error to the host device. The host device may, based on receiving the indication of the error, transmit to the memory device a backup copy of the data and other impacted data from the circular buffer. The memory device may configure the host-side buffer to have at least a particular size based one or more structural or operational aspects of the memory device.Type: GrantFiled: October 25, 2019Date of Patent: November 28, 2023Assignee: Micron Technology, Inc.Inventor: Minjian Wu

Patent number: 11798636Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for an improved power supply for a memory device are described. An apparatus may include a memory device, one or more voltage detectors, and one or more voltage converters. A voltage detector may generate an output indicating whether a voltage at a first pin of the apparatus satisfies a threshold. A voltage converter may be coupled with the voltage detector and may be configured to selectively output a second voltage depending on the output of the voltage detector. Circuitry within the memory device may be coupled with one or more voltage detectors and one or more voltage converters and configured to select a supply voltage for another component of the memory device from among the first voltage (e.g., received from the first pin) and the second voltage (e.g., selectively generated and output by the voltage converter) based on the output from the voltage detector.Type: GrantFiled: October 9, 2020Date of Patent: October 24, 2023Assignee: Micron Technology, Inc.Inventor: Minjian Wu

Patent number: 11749334Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus related to memory management based on temperature evaluation and a status of storage media availability (e.g., whether usage of the storage media exceeds a threshold). In one approach, the memory management is implemented in a memory device having first and second memories. A controller of the memory device evaluates data from a temperature sensor to determine that a temperature of the memory device exceeds a normal operating range. Based on this evaluation, the controller selects the first memory (e.g., SLC memory) for storing incoming data. If the first memory becomes full, the controller switches to the second memory (e.g., TLC or QLC memory) for storing additional incoming data. When the temperature returns to the normal operating range, the additional data is re-written while in the normal operating range.Type: GrantFiled: May 24, 2021Date of Patent: September 5, 2023Assignee: Micron Technology, Inc.Inventor: Minjian Wu

The memory device can receive host image data from the production host and write the host image data according to the selected PSA mode. The memory device can set a PSA state to load complete after writing the host image data. The memory device can thereby be better situated for being soldered to a memory sub-system.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 23, 2022Publication date: August 24, 2023Inventor: Minjian Wu
