  • Patent number: 11984176
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure provide a method and an apparatus of testing a word line. After repair of a memory array is completed, if a target word line in a failure state exists in the memory array, a second numerical value is written into the target word line, and then it is determined, according to a numerical value outputted by each word line in the memory array, whether there are at least two word lines in an on-state in the memory array; if there are at least two word lines in an on-state simultaneously in the memory array, a current value generated by the target word line in an on-to-off process is detected; when the current value generated by the target word line in the on-to-off process is greater than a preset current threshold, it is determined that the target word line has a repair fault.

  • Patent number: 11984180
    Abstract: Implementations described herein relate to enabling or disabling on-die error-correcting code for a memory built-in self-test. A memory device may read one or more bits, associated with a memory built-in self-test, that are stored in a mode register of the memory device. The memory device may identify, based on the one or more bits, whether the memory built-in self-test is to be performed with on-die error-correcting code (ECC) disabled or with on-die ECC enabled. The memory device may perform the memory built-in self-test, and selectively test for one or more single-bit errors, based on identifying whether the memory built-in self-test is to be performed with the on-die ECC disabled or with the on-die ECC enabled.

  • Patent number: 11984189
    Abstract: Memory devices may have internal circuitry that employs voltages higher and/or lower than voltages provided by an external power source. Charge pumps are DC/DC converters that may be used to generate the higher voltages internally. The number of available charge pumps in a memory device may be conservatively dimensioned to be high, in some systems to protect yields. Some of the available charge pumps may be disabled during manufacturing or testing to reduce the number of active charge pumps. The testing process may employ dedicated logic in the memory device and the disabling may employ fuse circuitry.

    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for host recovery for a stuck condition of a memory system are described. The host system may transmit a first command for the memory system to transition from a first power mode to a second power mode (e.g., low-power mode). In some cases, the host system may transmit a second command for the memory system to exit the second power mode shortly after transmitting the first command. The host system may activate a timer associated with a time-out condition for exiting the second power mode and may determine that a duration indicated by the timer expires. In some examples, the host system may transmit a third command for the memory system to perform a hardware reset operation based on determining that the duration of the timer expires.
