Abstract: Apparatuses and techniques for implementing shareable usage-based disturbance circuitry are described. Shareable usage-based disturbance circuitry includes circuits (e.g., shared circuits) that manage usage-based disturbance across at least two sections of a bank of memory within a die of a memory device. In example implementations, the shareable usage-based disturbance circuitry includes a counter circuit and/or an error-correction-code circuit that is coupled to sense amplifiers associated with two neighboring sections. With the shareable usage-based disturbance circuitry, dies within the memory device can be cheaper to manufacture, can consume less power, and can have a smaller footprint with less complex signal routing compared to other dies with other circuits dedicated to mitigating usage-based disturbance within each section.

Abstract: Multilevel command and address (CA) signals are used to provide commands and memory addresses from a controller to a memory system. Using multilevel signals CA signals may allow for using fewer signals compared to binary signals to represent a same number of commands and/or address space, or using a same number of multilevel CA signals to represent a larger number of commands and/or address space. A number of external command/address terminals may be reduced without reducing a set of commands and/or address space. Alternatively, a number of external terminals may be maintained, but provide for an expanded set of commands and/or address space.

Abstract: A display device includes a sensor on a display panel, an optical filter, and a fingerprint detector. The sensor includes a first area and a second area and is configured to sense light transmitted through the display panel. The optical filter is between the display panel and sensor, and overlaps with the first area but not the second area. The optical filter blocks light corresponding to a first wavelength range in a wavelength range of the light. The fingerprint detector determine whether a fingerprint is a fake fingerprint or a pre-registered fingerprint based on a first sensing signal and a second sensing signal. The first sensing signal correspond to an area in contact with a finger in the second area, and the second sensing signal corresponds to an area not in contact with the finger among sensing signals from the sensor.

Abstract: Described apparatuses and methods relate to adaptive refresh staggering for a memory system that may support a nondeterministic protocol. To help manage power-delivery networks in a memory system, a memory device can include logic that can be programmed to stagger the start of refresh operations for each die upon receiving a command to enter a lower-power mode, such as self-refresh. The staggered start can be implemented at a channel level, a package level, or both. The programming sets a delay for each die so that initiation of refresh operations is staggered. Thus, a first die can initiate refresh operations when a command to enter the lower-power mode is received (e.g., approximately zero delay). However, initiation of refresh operations for subsequent dies (e.g., “after” the first die) is delayed, which can reduce peak current draw and power consumption.

Abstract: Described apparatuses and methods enable communication between a host device and a memory device to establish relative delays between different data lines. If data signals propagate along a bus with the same timing, simultaneous switching output (SSO) and crosstalk can adversely impact channel timing budget parameters. An example system includes an interconnect having multiple data lines that couple the host device to the memory device. In example operations, the host device can transmit to the memory device a command indicative of a phase offset between two or more data lines of the multiple data lines. The memory device can implement the command by transmitting or receiving signals via the interconnect with different relative phase offsets between data lines. The host device (e.g., a memory controller) can determine appropriate offsets for a given apparatus. Lengths of the offsets can vary. Further, a system can activate the phase offsets based on frequency.
