  • Memory disablement for data security
    Patent number: 11474955
    Abstract: Apparatuses and methods related to memory disablement for memory security. Disabling the memory for memory security can include, responsive to receiving a trigger signal, provide a voltage, which may be in excess of an operating or nominal voltage, to the access circuitry. The voltage may thus be sufficient to render the access circuitry inoperable for accessing data stored in the memory array.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: December 16, 2020
    Date of Patent: October 18, 2022
    Assignee: Micron Technology, Inc.
    Inventors: Shea M. Morrison, Brenton P. Van Leeuwen, Blakely N. Frechette
