Abstract: Apparatuses and techniques for logging a memory address associated with faulty usage-based disturbance data are described. In an example aspect, a memory device can detect, at a local-bank level, a fault associated with usage-based disturbance data. This detection enables the memory device to log a row address associated with the faulty usage-based disturbance data. To avoid increasing a complexity and/or a size of the memory device, some implementations of the memory device can perform the address logging at the multi-bank level with the assistance of an engine, such as a test engine. The memory device stores the logged address in at least one mode register to communicate the fault to a memory controller. With the logged address, the memory controller can initiate a repair procedure to fix the faulty usage-based disturbance data.
