  • Patent number: 11954499
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for operational code storage for an on-die microprocessor are described. A microprocessor may be formed on-die with a memory array. Operating code for the microprocessor may be stored in the memory array, possibly along with other data (e.g., tracking or statistical data) used or generated by the on-die microprocessor. A wear leveling algorithm may result in some number of rows within the memory array not being used to store user data at any given time, and these rows may be used to store the operating code and possibly other data for the on-die microprocessor. The on-die microprocessor may boot and run based on the operating code stored in memory array.

  • Patent number: 11430539
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for modifiable repair solutions for a memory array are described to support storing repair information for a memory array within the memory array itself. A memory device may include the memory array and an on-die microprocessor, where the microprocessor may retrieve the repair information from the memory array and write the repair information to repair circuitry used for identifying defective memory addresses. The microprocessor may support techniques for identifying additional defects and updating the repair information during operation of the memory array. For example, the microprocessor may identify additional defects based on errors associated with one or more memory cells of the memory array or based on testing performed on one or more memory cells of the memory array. In some cases, a host device may identify additional defects and may notify the microprocessor of the additional defects.
