Patent number: 12731629Abstract: Apparatuses and techniques for efficient handling of data errors and usage-based disturbances are described. To enable efficient utilization of time-limited resources, a memory device includes control circuitry that performs multiple different types of operations responsive to “confiscating” a refresh-pump time interval. The memory device is responsible for performing various functionalities internally while reducing the impact such functionalities may have on servicing memory requests from an external entity. Accordingly, a memory device may confiscate refresh-pump opportunities and instead perform other operations. To efficiently utilize a refresh-pump opportunity, the control circuitry can perform an error-handling operation on a codeword stored in a first bank and perform a usage-based disturbance mitigation operation on a row in a second bank during the confiscated time interval. Further, the usage-based disturbance mitigation operation can be performed across multiple banks except for the first bank.Type: GrantFiled: July 2, 2024Date of Patent: September 8, 2026Assignee: Micron Technology, Inc.Inventors: Yang Lu, Donald Morgan, Mark Kalei Hadrick, Victor Wong, Kang-Yong Kim

Publication number: 20260260685Abstract: Apparatuses and techniques for implementing mixed-array dynamic random-access memory (DRAM) architecture are described. Processors demand ever faster memories. To meet this demand, DRAM is manufactured with increasing quantities of memory banks. This approach adds area and processing overhead, which translates to increased cost and power usage. This document describes a memory die having a DRAM array with first and second portions that store normal data using memory cells with first and second properties. A first performance property of the first portion is higher than a second performance property of the second portion. Also, a first cost property of the first portion may be higher than a second cost property of the second portion. This mixed-array approach enables some data to be accessed at a higher performance level without resorting to increasing the quantity of memory banks. In some cases, a third portion stores usage-based-disturbance data at a higher performance level.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 28, 2025Publication date: September 3, 2026Applicant: Micron Technology, Inc.Inventors: Yang Lu, Kang-Yong Kim

Patent number: 12720459Abstract: A cellular network mobile station (MS) is configured for roaming operation. A prioritization of one or more Public Land Mobile Network (PLMN) configurations is stored at the MS. When the MS is attached or registered for access to a PLMN that is not a Home PLMN or PLMN configuration that is not a highest priority PLMN configuration, it performs an idle mode search for a higher priority PLMN configuration at intervals of time. A duration of the intervals is determined according to a primary search period parameter stored at the MS. The MS is configured with a secondary search period parameter, which indicates one or more factors to be applied to the primary search period parameter when determining the duration of the intervals, such that each of the factors is applied according to a respective associated condition indicative of a number of PLMN configurations available for the MS to access.Type: GrantFiled: February 8, 2023Date of Patent: August 25, 2026Assignee: Vodafone Group Services LimitedInventors: Yang Lu, Christopher Pudney, Peter Dawes

Publication number: 20260237417Abstract: Apparatuses and techniques for implementing refresh latency indication for refresh operations are described. A memory system may separate memory dies into different ranks. Sending separate refresh commands to each rank congests the command bus. Sending a common refresh command to multiple ranks, on the other hand, causes a large current spike as many dies initiate the refresh operation at the same time. To efficiently prevent the large current spike and thereby lower the costs of a power delivery network, different dies can delay initiation of the refresh commands by different amounts. To do so, a host device can program different dies with different refresh latency indications, which determine lengths of each delay period before starting the refresh operation. The dies can also operate based on an enablement indication that enables the refresh latency mechanism. Staggering the start times of refresh operations can also control current spikes without regard to ranks.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 13, 2025Publication date: August 13, 2026Applicant: Micron Technology, Inc.Inventors: Yang Lu, Gary Lynn Howe, Kang-Yong Kim

Publication number: 20260237421Abstract: Apparatuses and techniques for reporting a notification-type event are described. In an example aspect, a memory device includes a dedicated notification pin for reporting one or more notification-type events to a memory controller. Through the notification pin, the memory device can indicate an occurrence of various notification-type events, one or more of which can be associated with mitigating usage-based disturbance. In contrast to an alert pin, the notification pin enables an operation of the memory controller to continue uninterrupted. In other words, notification-type events that are reported via the notification pin do not need to interrupt an operation of the memory controller. In this way, the notification pin can be used to communicate notifications without degrading performance of the memory controller. Also, with a dedicated notification pin, the memory controller can avoid continuously polling mode registers of the memory device for information, thereby conserving power and temporal resources.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 11, 2025Publication date: August 13, 2026Applicant: Micron Technology, Inc.Inventors: Yang Lu, Matthew A. Prather, Gary Lynn Howe, Kang-Yong Kim

Publication number: 20260229270Abstract: Apparatuses and techniques for implementing self-refresh status indications for self-refresh exit are described. To save power, a memory device can control refresh operations, but the memory device is typically unavailable in this self-refresh mode. During self-refresh exiting, the memory device typically remains unavailable for normal array access operations while concluding any refresh operations that are already in progress. Portions of the memory array, however, are usually not performing a refresh operation. To enable a host device to perform read and write operations on these available portions during the self-refresh exit time, the memory device provides an indication of a self-refresh status in example implementations. The indication can be a Boolean variable that pertains to an entire array. Alternatively, the indication can include multiple bits that respectively correspond to multiple portions, such as memory banks or bank groups. In this way, the host device can return to normal operations sooner.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 4, 2025Publication date: August 6, 2026Applicant: Micron Technology, Inc.Inventors: Yang Lu, HyunYoo Lee, Kang-Yong Kim

Publication number: 20260204307Abstract: Apparatuses and techniques for performing serialized update procedures during a refresh period are described. In example aspects, a memory device performs a normal refresh operation, which refreshes multiple rows simultaneously. The refreshed rows are associated with different refresh sections and different column segments. While refreshing the rows and prior to an end of a refresh cycle time (tRFC), the memory device updates, in a serialized manner, usage-based-disturbance data that is stored within the refreshed rows. In particular, the memory device performs, in series, multiple update procedures, which overwrites values of the usage-based-disturbance data that are stored within the refreshed rows. For example, the multiple update procedures can set values of activation counts that are stored within the refreshed rows to a predetermined value.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 10, 2025Publication date: July 16, 2026Applicant: Micron Technology, Inc.Inventors: Yang Lu, Donald Morgan, QiaoHua Dong
