The present disclosure includes apparatuses and methods related to memory topologies. An apparatus may include a first plurality of clam-shell paired memory devices arranged in a star connection topology, each clam-shelled pair of the first plurality of memory devices being coupled by a respective matched branch to a first common command address signal trace. The apparatus may include a second plurality of memory devices coupled to a second common command address signal trace.

Systems and methods are disclosed for reducing or eliminating address lines that need to be routed to multiple related embedded memory blocks. In particular, one or more inputs are added to a block RAM such that when one or more of the inputs are asserted, the address input to the Block RAM may be incremented prior to being used to retrieve data contents of the block RAM. Thus, if address <addr> is provided to the block RAM and the address increment signal is asserted, data may be read from location <addr+N> instead of <addr>, where N may be an integer. Block RAMs with such address arithmetic may be used to implement wide First-In-First-Out (FIFO) queues, wide memories, and/or data-burst accessible block RAMs.

In some embodiments, a memory device implements a tile-based architecture including an arrangement of independently and concurrently operable arrays or tiles of memory transistors where each tile includes memory transistors that are arranged in a three-dimensional array and a localized modular control circuit operating the memory transistors in the tile. The tile-based architecture of the memory device enables concurrent memory access to multiple tiles, which enables independent and concurrent memory operations to be carried out across multiple tiles. The tile-based concurrent access to the memory device has the benefits of increasing the memory bandwidth and lowering the tail latency of the memory device by ensuring high availability of storage transistors. In other embodiments, a memory module includes multiple semiconductor memory dies coupled to a memory controller where the semiconductor memory dies are partitioned into independently accessible memory channels with each memory channel being formed across the multiple semiconductor memory dies.

A memory device includes a memory, and a processor coupled to the memory and configured to hold memory information corresponding to the memory, access information corresponding to access to the memory, and storage information indicating a storage area of the access information, extract, based on the storage information, an access information code including the access information, output the memory information in response to a read request from an external, and output the extracted access information code in response to an acknowledgment received from the external corresponding to the memory information.

Methods, systems, and apparatuses related to configured dual register clock driver (RCD) devices on a single memory subsystem using different configuration information are described. In some examples, configuration of the two RCD devices with different configuration information may include use of a serial data bus to receive and store first RCD configuration data, which is provided to both of the RCD devices to configure one or more parameters of each respective RCD device. One of the RCD devices may receive second configuration data via a command and address bus to independently update the one or more configuration parameters of one of the two RCD devices.

A memory system includes a memory device and a processing device operatively coupled with the memory device. The processing device perform operations comprising receiving an indication that a first memory access operation performed in response to a first memory access command is complete, wherein the first memory access operation is associated with a first CAM entry comprising an identifier of a second CAM entry; identifying the second CAM entry using the indicator, wherein the second CAM entry references a second memory access command; and issuing, to the memory device, the second memory access command.

A nonvolatile memory that stores boot data from a host learns which data is boot data by monitoring read commands received from a host during a powering up operation. Boot data is then arranged in a manner that makes subsequent reading of the boot data faster when it is accessed during a subsequent powering up operation.
