Memory device, semiconductor system, and data processing system
A memory device includes a memory cell array and a peripheral circuit. The memory cell array includes a plurality of memory regions each identified by a row address and a column address. The peripheral circuit accesses the memory cell array by performing, based on an address, a burst length and a burst address gap provided from a memory controller, a burst operation supporting a variable burst address gap. The burst address gap is a numerical difference between adjacent column addresses, on which the burst operation is to be performed.

Concurrent programming of multiple cells for non-volatile memory devices
Technology is disclosed herein for concurrently programming the same data pattern in multiple sets of non-volatile memory cells. Voltage are applied to bit lines in accordance with a data pattern. A select voltage is applied to drain select gates of multiple sets of NAND strings. The system concurrently applies a program pulse to control gates of a different set of selected memory cells in each respective set of the multiple sets of the NAND strings while the select voltage is applied to the drain select gates of the multiple sets of the NAND strings and the voltages are applied to the plurality of bit lines to concurrently program the data pattern into each set of the selected memory cells.
MEMORY MODULE WITH DOUBLE DATA RATE COMMAND AND DATA INTERFACES SUPPORTING TWO-CHANNEL AND FOUR-CHANNEL MODES
A memory module supports multiple memory channel modes, each including a double-date-rate (DDR) data channel supported by an independent command-and-address (CA) channel. In a two-channel mode, the memory module supports two DDR data channels using two respective DDR CA channels. Each CA channel includes a corresponding set of CA links. In a four-channel mode, the memory module supports two pairs of DDR data channels, each pair supported by a pair of independent CA channels. Memory commands issued in the four-channel mode are time interleaved to share one of the sets of CA links.
PROGRAMMABLE COLUMN ACCESS
Methods, systems, and devices for programmable column access are described. A device may transfer voltages from memory cells of a row in a memory array to respective digit lines for the memory cells. The voltages may be indicative of logic values stored at the memory cells. The device may communicate respective control signals to a set of multiplexers coupled with the digit lines, where each multiplexer is coupled with a respective subset of the digit lines. Each multiplexer may couple a digit line of the respective subset of digit lines with a respective sense component for that multiplexer based on the respective control signal for that multiplexer.

APPARATUS, SYSTEM, AND METHOD OF BYTE ADDRESSABLE AND BLOCK ADDRESSABLE STORAGE AND RETRIEVAL OF DATA TO AND FROM NON-VOLATILE STORAGE MEMORY
A hybrid memory system provides rapid, persistent byte-addressable and block-addressable memory access to a host computer system by providing direct access to a both a volatile byte-addressable memory and a volatile block-addressable memory via the same parallel memory interface. The hybrid memory system also has at least a non-volatile block-addressable memory that allows the system to persist data even through a power-loss state. The hybrid memory system can copy and move data between any of the memories using local memory controllers to free up host system resources for other tasks.
