  • Publication number: 20250045388
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for row hammer mitigation for stacked memory architectures are described. A semiconductor system, such as a memory system, may distribute operations for row hammer mitigation across circuitry of the semiconductor system. A first interface block of a first die of the semiconductor system may exchange signaling with a second interface block of a second die of the semiconductor system to perform row hammer mitigation operations. The second die may implement counters to track quantities of access operations associated with respective rows of memory cells of the second die. The second interface block may transmit alert signaling to the first interface block based on a value of a counter, and the first interface block may evaluate the alert signaling and transmit refresh signaling to the second interface block to perform one or more refresh operations.

  • Publication number: 20250045389
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for row hammer mitigation reliability in stacked memory architectures are described. A spare counter may be implemented at a first interface block of a logic die to enable increased reliability and efficiency in row hammer mitigation. The first interface block may use a spare counter in case of an error associated with a counter at a memory array die. A second interface block of an array die may identify an error associated with a counter of a memory array and may transmit an indication of the error to the first interface block. The first interface block may receive the indication and may activate a spare counter to track access operations on (e.g., activations of) the row based on the indication. The first interface block may use the spare counter to evaluate whether to transmit refresh signaling to the second interface block for row hammer mitigation.

  • Publication number: 20250036316
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for management command techniques for stacked memory architectures are described. For example, a system may be configured to support management command signaling between a controller (e.g., of a host system) and interface circuitry (e.g., of a memory system) of a first semiconductor die that is configured for accessing one or more memory arrays (e.g., of the memory system) of one or more second semiconductor dies. The interface circuitry may be configured to schedule or otherwise determine that a management operation is to be performed, and may indicate a request to the controller to schedule aspects of the management operation. In response, the controller may indicate one or more commands to the interface circuitry to perform the management operation.

  • Publication number: 20240404581
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for interface techniques for stacked memory architectures are described. A semiconductor system, such as a memory system, may distribute memory access circuitry among multiple semiconductor dies of a stack. A first die of the system may include logic circuitry operable to configure a set of multiple first interface blocks of the first die. Each first interface block may include circuitry operable to communicate with one or more second interface blocks of one or more second dies of the system to access a respective set of one or more memory arrays of the one or more second dies. In some examples, the system may include a respective controller for each first interface block to support access operations via the first interface block. The system may also include non-volatile storage, one or more sensors, or a combination thereof to support various operations of the system.

  • Publication number: 20240338149
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for schedule memory are described. Specifically, techniques are described for a memory interface between a host system and memory (e.g., a tightly coupled memory). For example, a memory interface block (MIB) between the host system and the memory system may schedule access operations performed by the memory system, schedule and perform error control operations, schedule and perform media management operations, as well as schedule and perform other operations. The use of such a MIB may enable the improvement of the memory system by reducing latency and increasing efficiency of memory accesses, while reducing impacts on the architecture and design of the host system.

  • Patent number: 11914541
    Abstract: In example implementations, a computing device is provided. The computing device includes an expansion interface, a first device, a second device, and a processor communicatively coupled to the expansion interface. The expansion interface includes a plurality of slots. Two slots of the plurality of slots are controlled by a single reset signal. The first device is connected to a first slot of the two slots and has a feature that is compatible with the single reset signal. The second device is connected to a second slot of the two slots and does not have the feature compatible with the single reset signal. The process is to detect the first device connected to the first slot and the second device connected to the second slot and disable the feature by preventing the first slot and the second slot from receiving the single reset signal.

  • Patent number: 10698019
    Abstract: A method is presented to estimate the remaining life of a moving power cable online. The cable is monitored online remotely for further providing suggestions to users for reducing times of power failure and economic loss. An offline AC impedance measurement experiment is designed at first. Three artificial neural networks are established for convert measured impedances into impedances under a baseline context to calculate impedance change ratios. The impedance change ratio indicates the damage of the cable. At last, a remaining margin of the impedance change ratio is figured out online under various contexts with three equations. Thus, the remaining life of the cable is obtained online.
