A memory system includes: a plurality of memory dies, and a controller selects a second read request, including at least a portion of a plurality of first read requests, so that the memory dies interleave and output data corresponding to the first read requests, and performs a correlation operation for the selected second read request, when the second read request is selected, the controller determines whether the correlation operation is performed or not before a time at which the second read request is selected, determines whether the correlation operation is successful or not, determines a pending credit in response to an operation state of the memory dies at the time at which the second read request is selected, and determines whether to perform the correlation operation or not for the second read request that is selected at the time at which the second read request is selected based on the pending credit.

An apparatus has a controller and an array of memory cells, including a first section comprising a plurality of rows and a second section comprising a plurality of rows. The controller configured to, in association with wear leveling, transfer data stored in a first row of the first section from the first row to a register, transfer the data from the register to a destination row of the second section while data in a second row of the first section is being sensed.

Techniques herein may allow a row of a subarray in a bank of a memory device to be activated before a precharge operation has been completed for a previously opened row of memory cells in the same bank. Each subarray within the bank may be associated with a respective local latching circuit, which may be used to maintain phases at the subarray independent of subsequent commands to the same bank. For example, the latching circuit may internalize timing signals triggered by a precharge command for a first row such that if an activation command is received for a different subarray in the same bank at a time before the precharge operation of the first row is complete, the precharge operation may continue until the first row is closed, as the timing signals triggered by the precharge command may be maintained locally at the subarray using the latching circuit.

A memory controller of a memory device that uses a phase change memory and includes a memory cell array partitioned into a plurality of partitions is provided. A write request that request a data write to the memory device and a read request which request a data read from the memory device are inserted to a request queue. A scheduler, in a case that a conflict check condition including a first condition that a write operation is being performed in a first partition among the plurality of partitions is satisfied, creates a read command for a second partition based on a read request for the second partition when the request queue includes the read request for the second partition. The second partition is a partition, in which a read operation does not conflict with the write operation in the first partition, among the plurality of partitions.

The present technology includes a memory device which includes a plurality of planes in which data is stored, a peripheral circuit configured to perform operations on the plurality of planes, micro-control circuits configured to control the peripheral circuit so that the operations on the plurality of planes are independently performed, and a memory manager including a control memory in which different control codes for controlling the peripheral circuit are stored, and configured to output the control codes to the micro-control circuits, wherein the memory manager is configured to sequentially output a selected control code among the control codes to the micro-control circuits respectively corresponding to the planes.

A fine-grained dynamic random-access memory (DRAM) includes a first memory bank, a second memory bank, and a dual mode I/O circuit. The first memory bank includes a memory array divided into a plurality of grains, each grain including a row buffer and input/output (I/O) circuitry. The dual-mode I/O circuit is coupled to the I/O circuitry of each grain in the first memory bank, and operates in a first mode in which commands having a first data width are routed to and fulfilled individually at each grain, and a second mode in which commands having a second data width different from the first data width are fulfilled by at least two of the grains in parallel.

One embodiment sets forth a technique for time-multiplexed communication for transmitting command and address information between a controller and a multi-port memory device over a single connection. Command and address information for each port of the multi-port memory device is time-multiplexed within the controller to produce a single stream of commands and addresses for different memory requests. The single stream of commands and addresses is transmitted by the controller to the multi-port memory device where the single stream is demultiplexed to generate separate streams of commands and addresses for each port of the multi-port memory device.

Methods and systems for accessing a memory are provided. One method of accessing a memory includes generating a memory access profile for accesses to a memory array. A memory controller coupled to the memory array is configured using the generated memory access profile. After configuring the memory controller, accesses to the memory array are interleaved based on the memory access profile.

An integrated circuit (IC) chip includes a plurality of interlayer channels; at least one data pad; an identification (ID) generation circuit suitable for generating a chip ID signal by decoding a command/address signal; a first transmission circuit suitable for transferring a plurality of internal data pieces to a transmission path by aligning a plurality of interlayer data pieces respectively transferred from the plurality of interlayer channels according to a plurality of strobe signals while selectively inverting the plurality of interlayer data pieces according to the chip ID signal; and a second transmission circuit suitable for transferring the plurality of internal data pieces from the transmission path to the at least one data pad.

Symbols interleaved among a set of codewords can provide an error correction/detection capability to a dual in-line memory module (DIMM) with memory chips having a comparatively larger bus width. Data corresponding to a set of multibit symbols and received from one or more memory devices can be interleaved/distributed with other bits of at least one codeword.
