An example apparatus may perform concurrent threshold voltage compensation in a memory array with distributed row redundancy. The example apparatus may include a row decoder configured to configured to, in response to a determination that the prime row address matches a defective prime row address, concurrently initiate a threshold voltage compensation operation on both of a prime row of the respective plurality of prime rows of memory cells of a first row section of the plurality of row sections corresponding to the prime row address and the respective redundant row of a second row section of the plurality of row sections. The row decoder may be further configured to stop an access operation associated with the prime row from proceeding based on a comparison of subset of match signals from either the first or second pluralities of row sections.

A data storage system can employ a read destructive memory configured with multiple levels. A non-volatile memory unit can be programmed with a first logical state in response to a first write voltage of a first hysteresis loop by a write controller prior to being programmed to a second logical state in response to a second write voltage of the first hysteresis loop, as directed by the write controller. The first and second logical states may be present concurrently in the non-volatile memory unit and subsequently read concurrently as the first logical state and the second logical state.

A data storage system can utilize one or more data storage devices that employ a solid-state non-volatile read destructive memory consisting of ferroelectric memory cells. A leveling strategy can be generated by a wear module connected to the memory with the leveling strategy prescribing a plurality of memory cell operating parameters associated with different amounts of cell wear. The wear module may monitor activity of a memory cell and detect an amount of wear in the memory cell as a result of the monitored activity, which can prompt changing a default set of operating parameters for the memory cell to a first stage of operating parameters, as prescribed by the leveling strategy, in response to the detected amount of wear.

A scheme for handling program errors is provided for a memory system which includes a memory device and a controller including firmware and a memory interface. The firmware issues commands for program operations to the memory interface. After detecting a failed program operation in a particular memory block, the firmware reroutes that program operation to a different location in a different memory block and takes further action to reduce the likelihood of a subsequent error occurring in the same memory block in which the failed program operation occurred.

A DPE memristor crossbar array system includes a plurality of partitioned memristor crossbar arrays. Each of the plurality of partitioned memristor crossbar arrays includes a primary memristor crossbar array and a redundant memristor crossbar array. The redundant memristor crossbar array includes values that are mathematically related to values within the primary memristor crossbar array. In addition, the plurality of partitioned memristor crossbar arrays includes a block of shared analog circuits coupled to the plurality of partitioned memristor crossbar arrays. The block of shared analog circuits is to determine a dot product value of voltage values generated by at least one partitioned memristor crossbar array of the plurality of partitioned memristor crossbar arrays.

A memory apparatus comprising: a cell array comprising multiple first and second word lines, a fuse array configured to substitute a selection word line of the multiple first word lines with the multiple second word lines, a fail determination unit configured to determine, as a fail word line, a word line matched with a first condition during an access operation for the multiple first word lines and to determine a fail grade of the fail word line based on a second condition, an information storage unit configured to store a physical address, fail grade and access count of the fail word line as determination information for the fail word line, and a rupture operation unit configured to select the selection word line from the fail word lines based on a result of the analysis of the determination information, and perform rupturing the selection word line into the fuse array.

A memory module includes a first memory device, a second memory device, and a processing buffer circuit that is connected to the first memory device and the second memory device (independently of each other) and a host. A processing buffer circuit is provided, which includes a processing circuit and a buffer. The processing circuit processes at least one of data received from the host, data stored in the first memory device, or data stored in the second memory device based on a processing command received from the host. The buffer is configured to store data processed by the processing circuit. The processing buffer circuit is configured to communicate with the host in compliance with a DDR SDRAM standard.

An on-chip memory diagnostic (OCMD) circuit may instruct a set of built-in self-test (BIST) engines to execute BIST on memories associated with the set of BIST engines. Next, results of executing BIST on the memories may be received from the set of BIST engines. A set of memory failures may then be identified in the memories based on the results. Next, one or more BIST engines in the set of BIST engines may be instructed to collect diagnostic data for each memory failure. A set of diagnostic data may then be received for the set of memory failures. Next, the set of diagnostic data may be stored in an on-chip data container. The set of diagnostic data may then be provided via a communication channel.

A method of operating a controller includes randomly transmitting a first command to a non-volatile memory device upon a read request from a host; receiving first read data corresponding to the first command from the non-volatile memory device; determining whether the number of first error bits of the first read data is greater than a first reference value; determining whether the number of first error bits is greater than a second reference value, when the number of first error bits is not greater than the first reference value; storing a target wordline in a health buffer, when the number of first error bits is greater than the second reference value; periodically transmitting a second command to the non-volatile memory device; and receiving second read data corresponding to the second command from the non-volatile memory device.

A method includes determining that a ratio of valid data portions to a total quantity of data portions of a block of memory cells is greater than or less than a valid data portion threshold and determining that health characteristics for the valid data portions of the block of memory cells are greater than or less than a valid data health characteristic threshold. The method further includes performing a first media management operation on the block of memory cells in response to determining that the ratio of valid data portions to the total quantity of data portions is greater than the valid data portion threshold and performing a second media management operation on at least a portion of the block of memory cells in response to determining that the ratio of valid data portions to the total quantity of data portions is less than the valid data portion threshold and the health characteristics for the valid data portions are greater than the valid data health characteristic threshold.
