Abstract: The present disclosure includes apparatuses and methods for providing energy information to memory. An embodiment includes determining, by a host, that a charge level of an energy source coupled to the host has reached or exceeded a threshold value, and transmitting, from the host to a memory device coupled to the host, signaling indicative of an energy mode for the memory device, wherein the signaling is transmitted based at least in part on determining that the charge level of the energy source has reached or exceeded the threshold.

Abstract: Systems, apparatuses, and methods related to data identity recognition for semiconductor devices are described. A system includes a host and a memory device coupled to the host via an interconnect bus. The host includes a host security manager configured to encrypt data of a command, perform a memory integrity check, allow access to memory of a memory device corresponding to an address of a command based on which entity associated with the host sent the command, generate security keys, program security keys into the memory device, program encryption ranges, or any combination thereof. The memory device includes a memory encryption manager and a memory device security manager. The memory device security manager is configured to detect whether a command was sent from a trusted domain of the host or non-trusted domain of the host and identify which entity associated with the host initiated the command.

Abstract: A device includes a memory. The device also includes a controller. The controller includes a register configured to store an indication of whether an ability of a received command to alter an access protection scheme of the memory is enabled. The received command may alter the access an access protection scheme of the memory responsive to the indication.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for techniques for indicating row activation are described. A memory device may receive an indication associated with an activation command, which may enable the memory device to begin some aspects of an activation operation before receiving the associated activation command. The indication may include a location of a next row to access as part of the activation command. The indication may be included in a previous activation command or in a precharge command. The memory device may begin activation operations for the next row before the precharge operation of the current row is complete. The memory device may receive the activation command for the next row after receiving the indication, and may complete the activation operations upon receiving the activation command.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for architecture-based power management for a memory device are described. Aspects include operating a first memory bank within a memory device in a first mode and a second memory bank within the memory device in a second mode. The memory device may receive a power down command for the first memory bank while operating the first memory bank in the first mode and the second memory bank in the second mode and switch the first memory bank from the first mode to a first low power mode while maintaining the second memory bank in the second mode. The first low power mode corresponds to less power consumption by the first memory bank than the first mode. In some cases, switching the first memory bank from the first mode to the first low power mode includes deactivating circuitry dedicated to the first memory bank.

Abstract: Techniques herein may allow a row of a subarray in a bank of a memory device to be activated before a precharge operation has been completed for a previously opened row of memory cells in the same bank. Each subarray within the bank may be associated with a respective local latching circuit, which may be used to maintain phases at the subarray independent of subsequent commands to the same bank. For example, the latching circuit may internalize timing signals triggered by a precharge command for a first row such that if an activation command is received for a different subarray in the same bank at a time before the precharge operation of the first row is complete, the precharge operation may continue until the first row is closed, as the timing signals triggered by the precharge command may be maintained locally at the subarray using the latching circuit.

Abstract: A method to perform data scrub operations by operating a memory device, the memory device comprising a main memory, an internal Error Correction Code (ECC) engine and a scrub memory. The method comprising: receiving a read command; accessing, based on the receiving the read command, a location in the main memory to read data at the location; error correcting data read during the accessing; and storing at the scrub memory information of the location based at least in part on the correcting the data meeting or exceeding an ECC threshold.
