Apparatuses, systems, and methods to perform continuous read operations are described. A system configured to perform such continuous read operations enables improved access to and processing of data for performance of associated functions. For instance, one apparatus described herein includes a memory device having an array that includes a plurality of pages of memory cells. The memory device includes a page buffer coupled to the array and a continuous read buffer. The continuous read buffer includes a first cache to receive a first segment of data values and a second cache to receive a second segment of the data values from the page buffer. The memory device is configured to perform a continuous read operation on the first and second segments of data from the first cache and the second cache of the continuous read buffer.

A memory system includes dynamic random-access memory (DRAM) components that include interconnected and redundant component data interfaces. The redundant interfaces facilitate memory interconnect topologies that accommodate considerably more DRAM components per memory channel than do traditional memory systems, and thus offer considerably more memory capacity per channel, without concomitant reductions in signaling speeds. Each DRAM component includes multiplexers that allow either of the data interfaces to write data to or read data from a common set of memory banks, and to selectively relay write and read data to and from other components, bypassing the local banks. Delay elements can impose selected read/write delays to align read and write transactions from and to disparate DRAM components.

An apparatus may include an address counter to provide first address information and second address information. The first address information may include a first number of bits and the second address information may include a second number of bits that is smaller than the first number of bits. The address counter may perform a first updating operation. The first updating operation being such that the first address information is updated from a first initial value to a first final value. The address counter may also perform a second updating operation, the second updating operation being such that the second address information is updated from a second initial value to a second final value. In addition, the address counter may also perform the second updating operation at least twice per the first updating operation being performed once.

A DRAM device with embedded flash memory for redundancy is disclosed. The DRAM device includes a substrate having a DRAM array area and a peripheral area. The peripheral area includes an embedded flash forming region and a first transistor forming region. DRAM cells are disposed within the DRAM array area. Flash memory is disposed in the embedded flash forming region. The flash memory includes an ONO storage structure and a flash memory gate structure. A first transistor is disposed in the first transistor forming region.

A shift register unit and a method for controlling the same, a gate driving circuit, and a display device. The shift register unit includes a shift drive sub-circuit (10), storing a voltage of a signal input terminal (INPUT) or outputting a voltage of a second clock signal terminal (CLK2) to a first signal output signal (CR); an output sub-circuit (30), outputting a voltage of a first voltage terminal (VDD) to a second signal output terminal (OUT); a pull-down sub-circuit (20), pulling down voltages of the first signal output terminal (CR) and the second signal output terminal (OUT) to a second voltage terminal (VSSL) and a third voltage terminal (VSS).

Various embodiments comprise methods and related apparatuses formed from those methods for placing at least portions of peripheral circuits under a DRAM memory array, where the peripheral circuits are used to control an operation of the DRAM memory array. In an embodiment, a memory apparatus includes a DRAM memory array and at least one peripheral circuit formed under the DRAM memory array, where the at least one peripheral circuit includes at least one circuit type selected from sense amplifiers and sub-word line drivers. Additional apparatuses and methods are also disclosed.

Various embodiments are generally directed to techniques to store data for critical chunk operations, such as by utilizing a spare lane, for instance. Some embodiments are particularly directed to a memory controller that stores a portion of a critical chunk in a spare lane to enable the entire critical chunk to be stored in a half of the cache line.
