  • Publication number: 20240013833
    Abstract: Techniques are provided for accessing two memory cells of a memory tile concurrently. A memory tile may include a plurality of self-selecting memory cells addressable using a row decoder and a column decoder. A memory controller may access a first self-selecting memory cell of the memory tile using a first pulse having a first polarity to the first self-selecting memory cell. The memory controller may also access a second self-selecting memory cell of the memory tile concurrently with accessing the first self-selecting memory cell using a second pulse having a second polarity different than the first polarity. The memory controller may determine characteristics of the pulses to mitigate disturbances of unselected self-selecting memory cells of the memory tile.

  • Publication number: 20220208262
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices related to auto-referenced memory cell read techniques are described. The auto-referenced read may encode user data to include a predetermined number of bits having a first logic state prior to storing the user data in memory cells. The auto-referenced read may store a total number of bits of the user data having a first logic state in a separate set of memory cells. Subsequently, reading the user data may be carried out by applying a read voltage to the memory cells storing the user data while monitoring a series of switching events by activating a subset of the memory cells having the first logic state. During the read operation, the auto-referenced read may compare the number of activated memory cells to either the predetermined number or the total number to determine whether all the bits having the first logic state has been detected.

  • Patent number: 11360868
    Abstract: A method for managing memory element failures in a memory subsystem is described. The method includes detecting, by the memory subsystem, a failed memory element in the memory subsystem and transmitting a redundant memory request based on detection of the failed memory element. The redundant memory request seeks to utilize memory storage in an external storage system in place of the failed memory element in the memory subsystem. Thereafter, the memory subsystem receives, from the external storage system, a redundant memory request confirmation, which indicates that the redundant memory request has been fulfilled and includes an address of a location in the external storage system. In response to receipt of the redundant memory request confirmation, the memory subsystem updates memory management information to map a logical address, which was previously mapped to the failed memory element, to the location in the external storage system.
