  • Apparatuses and methods for address detection
    Patent number: 11217295
    Abstract: Apparatuses and methods for address detection are disclosed herein. An example apparatus it an address filter and an address tracking circuit. The address filter may be configured to receive a first address and to determine whether the first address matches an address of a plurality of addresses associated with the address filter. The address tracking circuit may be coupled to the address filter and configured to store the first address responsive to a determination that the first address matches an address of the plurality of addresses associated with the address filter. The address tracking circuit may further be configured to receive a second address and to change a count associated with the first address based on the second address matching the first address. The address tracking circuit may be configured to selectively provide the first address responsive to the count.
