Abstract: Apparatuses and techniques for implementing usage-based disturbance (UBD) counter repair are described. In example implementations, a memory device includes multiple memory rows, multiple corresponding UBD counters, a register, and a spare UBD counter. If a UBD counter is faulty, logic can substitute the spare UBD counter. To do so, the logic can store a row address corresponding to the faulty UBD counter in the register. The logic can increment a value in the spare UBD counter responsive to a row activation corresponding to the stored row address. A mitigation procedure on a row that may be affected by the activation can be performed based on the value. A host device can control, at least partially, the UBD counter repair process. In these manners, a repair of a faulty UBD counter can be accomplished faster and/or with fewer resources as compared to replacing a memory row and corresponding UBD counter.

Abstract: This document describes apparatuses and techniques for multi-rail power transition. In various aspects, a power rail controller transitions a memory circuit (e.g., of a memory die) from a first power rail to a second power rail. The power rail controller then changes a voltage of the first power rail from a first voltage to a second voltage. The power rail controller may also adjust termination impedance or a clock frequency of the memory circuit before transitioning the memory circuit to the second power rail. The power rail controller then transitions the memory circuit from the second power rail to the first power rail to enable operation of the memory circuit at the second voltage. By so doing, the power rail controller may improve the reliability of memory operations when transitioning operation of the memory circuit from the first voltage to the second voltage.
