Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for techniques for performing write operations are described. A controller of a memory system may generate a first command to write first data to a first set of memory cells of a memory array of the memory system. The controller may transmit the first command to a first buffer of the memory system. The first buffer may receive the first command and may generate the first data based on second data from a first address of a register. The first buffer may transmit the first data to the first set of memory cells, via a first buffer, based on the first command.

Abstract: A memory device includes a data path having a data bus. The memory device further includes a first one-hot communications interface communicatively coupled to the data bus, and a second one-hot communications interface communicatively coupled to the data bus. The memory device additionally includes at least one memory bank, and an input/output (I/O) interface communicatively coupled to the at least one memory bank via the first one-hot communications interface and the second one-hot communications interface, wherein the first one-hot communications interface is configured to convert a first data pattern received by the I/O interface into one-hot signals transmitted via the data bus to the second one-hot communications interface, and wherein the second one-hot communications interface is configured to convert the one-hot signals into the first data pattern to be stored in the at least one memory bank.

Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure eliminating the need for a memory device to have both a shifter that shifts input pin values from an input domain into a parity domain and another shifter that shifts a decoded command from the input domain into the parity domain. A memory device can achieve this by, when parity is being performed, shifting the input from the input pins into the parity domain prior to decoding the command. Using a multiplexer, the decoder can receive the command pin portion of the shifted input when parity checking is being performed and can receive the un-shifted command pin input when parity checking is not being performed. The decoder can use the command pin portion of the shifted input to generate shifted and decoded commands or can use the un-shifted command pin input to generate decoded commands.

Abstract: A dynamic random-access memory (DRAM) device includes memory banks configured to store data and provide access to the stored data; and a data control circuit coupled to the memory banks, the data control circuit configured to: determine a pointer based on a received command, wherein the pointer corresponds to a target memory bank associated with the received command, and route a set of bits to or from the target memory bank using the pointer. In the long burst length and page mode operations where the array access is targeted in certain Bank Group, the pointer is generated and then allow the groups of data bits flowing through the center freely. This pseudo flow through scheme is low power and fast speed by removing the control of gating commands at each stage of the data path during Read and Write operations.
