In one embodiment, a memory system receives a request to perform a memory access operation, the request identifying a memory cell in a segment of the memory system comprising at least a portion of the memory device. The system determines that an operating temperature of the memory device satisfies a threshold criterion. Responsive to determining that the operating temperature of the memory device satisfies the threshold criterion, the system determines a temperature compensation value corresponding to an access control voltage adjustment value specific to the segment of the memory system. The system adjusts, based on an amount represented by the temperature compensation value, an access control voltage applied to the memory cell during the memory access operation.

System and method applied with computing-in-memory

A system includes a global generator and local generators. The global generator is coupled to a memory array, and is configured to generate global signals, according to a number of a computational output of the memory array. The local generators are coupled to the global generator and the memory array, and are configured to generate local signals, according to the global signals. Each one of the local generators includes a first reference circuit and a local current mirror. The first reference circuit is coupled to the global generator, and is configured to generate a first reference signal at a node, in response to a first global signal of the global signals. The local current mirror is coupled to the first reference circuit at the node, and is configured to generate the local signals, by mirroring a summation of at least one signal at the node.

DATA AUTO-RELOCATION IN AN INTEGRATED MEMORY ASSEMBLY

Technology is disclosed for relocating data in a non-volatile storage system. An integrated memory assembly has a control die and a memory die that contains the memory cells. The control die contains control circuitry that relocates data from one set of physical addresses on the memory die to another set of physical addresses on the memory die. This relocation results in a change of a mapping between logical addresses for the data and the physical addresses for the data. The control circuitry may update an L2P table on the memory die after the relocation to map the logical addresses of the data to the second set of physical addresses. The control die may construct a validity bitmap, which specifies whether data at a physical address is valid or invalid. The foregoing reduces data transfer between the integrated memory assembly and a memory controller, which saves time and power.
