  • Patent number: 11928330
    Abstract: Techniques to update a trim parameter in non-volatile memory during either a manufacturing stage or a post-manufacturing stage are described. Trim parameters may be stored in a register located within the memory device that is inaccessible by a host device during a normal mode of operation. Post-manufacturing updates to trim parameters by the host device may be feasible by creating registers located within the memory device that are accessible to the host device to provide information regarding trim parameter setting updates. The memory device may read the information from the registers accessible to the host device to update trim parameters stored in the register inaccessible by the host device. In this manner, the host device may not have a direct access to the trim parameters but still be able to provide an update to the trim parameters by updating an entry of the registers accessible by the host device.

  • Patent number: 11586367
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for operating a memory array are described. A memory controller may be configured to provide enhanced bandwidth on a command/address (C/A) bus, which may have a relatively low pin count, through use of a next partition command that may repeat an array command from a current partition at a different partition indicated by the next partition command. Such a next partition command may use fewer clock cycles than a command that includes a complete instruction and memory location information.

  • Patent number: 11200113
    Abstract: A memory device has multiple nonvolatile (NV) memory arrays that collectively store a block of data, with each array to store a portion of the data block. A selected NV memory array stores a write count for the block of data. In response to a write command, the NV memory arrays that store data perform an internal pre-write read. The selected NV memory array that stores the write count will perform a pre-write read of the write count, increment the write count internally to the selected NV memory array, and write the incremented write count back to the selected NV memory array.
