  • Patent number: 12229062
    Abstract: Described apparatuses and methods relate to erroneous select die access (SDA) detection for a memory system. A memory system may include a memory controller and a memory device that are capable of implementing an SDA protocol that enables selective memory die access to multiple memory devices that couple to a command bus. A memory device can include logic that determines if signaling that conflicts with the SDA protocol is detected. If it is determined that conflicting signaling is detected, the logic may provide an indication of the conflicted signaling. In doing so, the erroneous SDA detection described herein may reduce the likelihood of a memory device erroneously masking memory dice, thereby limiting the memory device from exhibiting unexpected, and in some cases, dangerous behavior.

  • Patent number: 12230126
    Abstract: Multipurpose systems can include networked devices configured to include microphones, motion sensors, video cameras, touchscreens, optical sensors, speakers, or other suitable devices. The networked devices can include networking capabilities that enable the networked device to communicate with target devices and other networked devices. A system of networked devices can identify a target location or a target device by analyzing audio signals received at microphones of the networked devices. For example, a plurality of networked devices can identify a particular networked device that is in closest proximity to a user by analyzing an audio intensity of an audio signal received at the plurality of networked devices. The identified networked device can serve as a master device that can control a state of target devices.

  • Patent number: 12223995
    Abstract: Described apparatuses and methods relate to adaptive memory registers for a memory system that may support a nondeterministic protocol. To help manage power-delivery networks in a memory system, a device includes logic that can write values to memory registers associated with memory blocks of a memory array. The values indicate whether an associated memory block has been refreshed within a refresh interval. Other logic can read the registers to determine whether a block has been refreshed. The device also includes logic that can access data indicating a row address that was most recently, or is next to be, refreshed and write values representing the address to another register. The register can be read by other logic to determine whether a wordline potentially affected by an activation-based disturb event is near to being refreshed. These techniques can reduce the number of refresh operations performed, saving power and reducing costs.
