APPARATUSES, SYSTEMS, AND METHODS FOR IDENTIFYING VICTIM ROWS IN A MEMORY DEVICE WHICH CANNOT BE SIMULTANEOUSLY REFRESHED
20220270670 · 2022-08-25 · ·

Apparatuses, systems, and methods for refresh modes. A memory may need to perform targeted refresh operations to refresh the ‘victim’ word lines which are near to frequently accessed ‘aggressor’ word lines. To refresh the victims at a high enough rate, it may be desirable to refresh multiple victims as part of the same refresh operation. However, certain word lines (e.g., word lines in a same section or adjacent sections of the memory) cannot be refreshed together. The memory may have a section comparator, which may check stored aggressor addresses and may provide a signal if there are not two stored addresses which can be refreshed together. Based, in part, on the signal, the memory may activate one of several different refresh modes, which may control the types of refresh operation performed responsive to a refresh signal.

20210407575 · 2021-12-30 ·

Methods, systems, and devices for phase clock correction are described. The clock correction may, in some examples, include two stages of duty cycle adjustment. In a first stage, the duty cycles of multiple clock signals may be adjusted. These clock signals may be based on an input clock signal and its complement. The duty cycle adjustment provided to a clock signal during this stage may be based on a difference between the duty cycle of the clock signal before adjustment and the duty cycle of another clock signal. In the second stage, the duty cycle of the input clock signal and its complement may be adjusted. The duty cycle adjustment provided to the input clock signal and/or its complement may be based on clock signals generated from the multiple clock signals after their duty cycles have been adjusted.
