  • Publication number: 20210051020
    Abstract: A memory device can comprise a memory, and an interface to receive a memory command sequence. A message authentication code MAC is provided with the command sequence. Control circuits on the device include a command decoder to decode a received a command sequence and to execute an identified memory operation. A message authentication engine includes logic to compute a value of a message authentication code to be matched with the received message authentication code based on the received command sequence and a stored key. The device can store a plurality of keys associated with one or more memory zones in the memory. Logic on the device prevents completion of the memory operation identified by the command sequence if the value computed does not match the received message authentication code.

  • Patent number: 10032511
    Abstract: For a memory array including a plurality of bit lines, and a set of write drivers having a number N members configured for connection in parallel to a selected set of N bit lines in the plurality of bit lines, write logic is coupled to the set of write drivers which enables a permissible number less than said number N of said members of the set of write drivers to apply a write pulse in parallel in a write operation. The write logic can dynamically assign permissible numbers to iterations in an iterative write sequence. A power source, such as charge pump circuitry, coupled to the set of write drivers can be utilized more efficiently in systems applying permissible bit write logic, enabling higher throughput or utilizing lower peak power.
