Abstract: Apparatus, systems, and methods to correct for threshold voltage drift in non-volatile memory devices are disclosed and described. In one example, a compensated demarcation voltage is generated by either a time-based drift compensation scheme or a disturb-based drift compensation scheme, and read and write operations to the non-volatile memory are carried out using the compensated voltage threshold.

Abstract: A nonvolatile storage or memory device is accessed over a memory bus. The memory bus has an electrical interface typically used for volatile memory devices. A controller coupled to the bus sends synchronous data access commands to the nonvolatile memory device, and reads the response from the device bus based on an expected timing of a reply from the nonvolatile memory device. The controller determines the expected timing based on when the command was sent, and characteristics of the nonvolatile memory device. The controller may not need all the electrical signal lines available on the memory bus, and could issue data access commands to different groups of nonvolatile memory devices over different groups of electrical signal lines. The memory bus may be available and configured for either use with a memory controller and volatile memory devices, or a storage controller and nonvolatile memory devices.

Abstract: Examples are disclosed for adaptive configuration of non-volatile memory. The examples include a mode register configured to include default and updated values to indicate one or more configurations of the non-volatile memory. The examples may also include discoverable capabilities maintained in a configuration table that may indicate memory address lengths and/or operating power states.

Abstract: Uncorrectable memory errors may be reduced by determining a logical array address for a set of memory arrays and transforming the logical array address to at least two unique array addresses based, at least in part, on logical locations of at least two memory arrays within the set of memory arrays. The at least two memory arrays are then accessed using the at least two unique array addresses, respectively.

Abstract: Examples of a multi-level memory with direct access are described. Examples include designating an amount of a non-volatile random access memory (NVRAM) for use as memory for a computer system. Examples also include designating a second amount of the NVRAM to for use as storage for the computing device.

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.

Abstract: In one embodiment, an apparatus comprises: a challenger logic to issue a challenge to a responder logic, the challenge including an address of a portion of an array of a non-volatile memory; and the responder logic to receive the challenge and read data from the portion of the array at a read time less than a lockout period and at a demarcation voltage. The challenger logic may be configured to verify the challenge if the read data matches an expected read value, where the expected read value is determined based on configuration parameter information including compensation data associated with the portion of the array. Other embodiments are described and claimed.

Abstract: A system and method for fencing memory accesses. Memory loads can be fenced, or all memory access can be fenced. The system receives a fencing instruction that separates memory access instructions into older accesses and newer accesses. A buffer within the memory ordering unit is allocated to the instruction. The access instructions newer than the fencing instruction are stalled. The older access instructions are gradually retired. When all older memory accesses are retired, the fencing instruction is dispatched from the buffer.

Abstract: A memory device performs DLL (delay locked loop) calibration in accordance with a DLL calibration mode configured for the memory device. A host controller can configure the calibration mode based on operating conditions for the memory device. The memory device includes an input/output (I/O) interface circuit and a delay locked loop (DLL) circuit coupled to control I/O timing of the I/O interface. A control circuit of the memory device selectively enables and disables DLL calibration in accordance with the DLL calibration mode. When selectively enabled, the DLL calibration is to operate at a time interval identified by the DLL calibration mode, and when selectively disabled, the DLL calibration is to cease or refrain from DLL calibration operations.
