Methods, systems, and devices for link evaluation for a memory device are described. A memory device may receive signaling over a channel and may identify logic values encoded into the signaling based on sampling the signaling against a reference voltage. The sampling may occur at a reference time within a sampling period. To evaluate a quality (e.g., margin of error) of the channel, the memory device may adjust the reference voltage, the reference time, or both, and either the memory device or the host device may determine whether the memory device is still able to correctly identify logic values encoded into signaling over the channel. In some cases, the channel quality may be evaluated during a refresh cycle or at another opportunistic time for the memory device.

A semiconductor memory device includes a mode register set and a clock correction circuit. The mode register set stores a first control code set. During a duty training interval based on a duty training command, the clock correction circuit may divide the duty training interval into a first interval, a second interval and a third interval which are consecutive, may correct a phase skew of a first clock signal and a third clock signal during the first interval, may correct a phase skew of a second clock signal and a fourth clock signal during the second interval, and may correct a phase skew of the first clock signal and the fourth clock signal during the third interval. The semiconductor memory device may enhance signal integrity of clock signals by correcting duty errors and phase skews of the clock signals having multi-phases during the duty training interval.

A semiconductor device includes: a plurality of pads connected to a memory device receiving a data signal using first to fourth clock signals having different phases; a data transmission/reception circuit inputting and outputting the data signal to a plurality of data pads of the plurality of pads and including a data delay cell adjusting a phase of the data signal; a clock output circuit outputting first to fourth clock signals to a plurality of clock pads of the plurality of pads and including first to fourth clock delay cells adjusting phases of the first to fourth clock signals; and a controller adjusting a delay amount of at least one of the first to fourth clock delay cells and the data delay cell so that each of the first to fourth clock signals is aligned with the data signal in the memory device.

A semiconductor system including: an operation period adjusting circuit configured to generate operation information for adjusting an operation period, when an input count of an active command during a test mode period is equal to or more than a preset count; and a command generation circuit configured to adjust the input count of the active command applied to a semiconductor device during a preset period, by adjusting the operation period on the basis of the operation information.

According to one embodiment, a semiconductor storage device includes strings each with a first select transistor, memory cell transistors, and a second select transistor connected in series. Word lines are provided, each connected to memory cell transistors in a same position across the strings. A bit line is connected in common to a first end of each of the strings. A source line is connected in common to a second end of each of the strings. A control circuit is configured to perform an erase operation on strings. The control circuit adjusts, for each of the strings, either an application time of a first voltage applied to a gate of the first select transistor of the respective string in the erase operation or a voltage level of the first voltage applied to the gate of the first select transistor of the respective string in the erase operation.

An octo mode program and erase operation method to reduce test time in a non-volatile memory device. M/8 word lines corresponding to an octo row, among M word lines, are simultaneously selected, and a write voltage is applied to memory cells connected to M/8 word lines corresponding to the octo row. A voltage that is different from the write voltage is applied to memory cells connected to the rest of word lines, except for M/8 word lines corresponding to the octo row, when the octo signal is applied to an address decoder.

A computer-implemented method includes fetching, by a controller, data using a plurality of memory channels of a memory system. The method further includes detecting, by the controller, that a first memory channel of the plurality of memory channels has not returned data. The method further includes marking, by the controller, the first memory channel from the plurality of memory channels as unavailable. The method further includes, in response to a fetch, reconstructing, by the controller, fetch data based on data received from all memory channels other than the first memory channel.

A memory system includes a memory medium and a memory controller configured to control the memory medium. The memory controller includes a training core and a training block. The training core is configured to detect a delay time of a clock signal to generate a delay selection signal during a training operation for the memory medium. The training block is configured to generate a delayed clock signal which is delayed by a time period set according to the delay selection signal outputted from the training core.

A circuit includes a memory array, a control circuit configured to identify an address of a first row containing a weak cell, and store corresponding address information in a storage device, and an address decoding circuit including NAND pairs, inverter pairs, and a logic tree. Each NAND pair receives corresponding bits of the address information and the address of the first row and corresponding inverted bits of the address information and the address of the first row inverted by corresponding inverter pairs, and output terminals of the NAND pairs are connected to the logic tree. The logic tree matches the address information with the address of the first row based on output logic levels from the NAND pairs and, in response to the corresponding address information matching the address of the first row, activates a second row of the memory array simultaneously with the first row being activated.

A memory system includes memory chips connected to each other. Each of the memory chips includes a memory array, a read/write data strobe pin, a look-up table storage device, a chip number identification circuit, and a control logic circuit. The memory array stores data. The read/write data strobe pin is connected to read/write data strobe pins of other memory chips. The look-up table storage device stores a plurality of trimming shift values related to a number of chip connections in advance. The chip number identification circuit identifies a current number of chip connections according to a state information, and finds a selected trimming shift value from the look-up table storage device. The control logic circuit transmits a data signal in response to a clock signal, and adjusts a setup hold time between the clock signal and the data signal according to the selected trimming shift value.
