Timing chains for accessing memory cells
11574665 · 2023-02-07 · ·

Methods, systems, and devices for timing chains for accessing memory cells are described to implement some delays at logic circuitry under an array of memory cells. The memory array logic may represent CMOS under array logic circuitry. A bank group logic may generate a first memory operation and a longer delay corresponding to a timing between the first operation and a second operation. The first operation may represent an access operation, a precharging operation, or the like. The memory array logic may be signaled regarding the first operation and may generate one or more smaller delays associated with one or more sub-operations of the first operation. The smaller delays may be tunable, which may support a memory device or controller to implement operations or sub-operations with different timings based on different processes, different memory cell characteristics, or different temperatures, among other examples.
