In some examples, a main word line driver may include a transistor that is driven between an on state and a high resistance state by a signal based, at least in part, on a row address. In both states, the transistor may maintain a main word line in an inactive state. When in the high resistance state, the transistor may be overridden by a decoder that drives the main word line to an active state. In some examples, a main word line driver may include a transistor maintained in a high resistance state coupled in parallel with another transistor that may be driven between an on state and an off state by a signal based, at least in part, on a row address. When the other transistor is in the off state, the high resistance state transistor may be overridden by a decoder that drives a main word line to an active state.

HIGH DENSITY MEMORY WITH REFERENCE MEMORY USING GROUPED CELLS AND CORRESPONDING OPERATIONS

A memory device includes a high density or 3D data memory and a 3D reference memory. The reference memory is used to generate a reference signal used to sense data in the data memory. Conversion circuitry converts signals from one memory cell or a group of memory cells in the reference memory into a reference signal.

Apparatuses and methods for monitoring word line accesses

An apparatus may include multiple memory devices. Each memory device may include multiple memory banks. Addresses of accessed word lines for a particular portion of memory and the number of times those word lines are accessed may be tracked by each memory device. When a memory device determines that an accessed word line is an aggressor word line, the memory device alerts other memory devices of the apparatus. The memory devices may then perform targeted refresh operations on victim word lines of the aggressor word line.
