  • Patent number: 11423976
    Abstract: Systems, devices, and methods related to reset read are described. A reset read may be employed to initiate a transition of a portion of memory array into a first state or maintain a portion of memory array in a first state, such as a transient state. A reset read may provide a highly-parallelized, energy-efficient option to ensure memory blocks are in the first state. Various modes of reset read may be configured according to different input.

  • Publication number: 20220254418
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for power architecture for non-volatile memory are described. A memory device may be configured to operate in a first mode and a second mode (e.g., a low power mode). When operating in the first mode, a voltage may be supplied from a power source (e.g., a power management integrated circuit) to a memory array and one or more associated components via a regulator. When the memory device transitions to operate in the second mode, some of the components supplied from the power source may be powered by a charge pump. Control information associated with the memory array may be stored to the one or more components (e.g., to a cache) that are powered by a charge pump.

    Abstract: A system includes a memory device having a plurality of groups of memory cells and a processing device communicatively coupled to the memory device. The processing device is be configured to read a first group of memory cells of the plurality to determine a calibrated read voltage associated with the group of memory cells.

  • Publication number: 20220197771
    Abstract: A method includes writing received data sequentially to a particular location of a cyclic buffer of a memory device according to a first set of threshold voltage distributions. The method further includes performing a touch up operation on the particular location by adjusting the first set of threshold voltage distributions of the data to a second set of threshold voltage distributions in response to a determination that a trigger event has occurred. The second set of threshold voltage distributions can have a larger read window between adjacent threshold voltage distributions of the second set than that of the first set of threshold voltage distributions.

  • Publication number: 20220172767
    Abstract: A variety of applications can include multiple memory die packages configured to engage in peak power management (PPM) across the multiple packages of memory dies. A communication line coupled to each memory die in the multiple memory die packages can be used to facilitate the PPM. A global management die can start a communication sequence among the multiple memory die packages to share a current budget across the multiple memory die packages by driving a signal on the communication line. Local management dies can use the received signal having clock pulses driven by the global management die on the communication line to engage in the PPM. To engage in global PPM, each memory die can be structured, to be selected as the global management die or a local management die, with one or more controllers to interface with the multiple memory die packages and to handle current budget limits.
