Methods, systems, and devices for configurable input for an amplifier are described. In some examples, a circuit may be configured to operate based on a signal having a first voltage profile or a second voltage profile. For example, the first voltage profile may be associated with a range of voltages that are based on a temperature of an associated memory chip, and the second voltage profile may be associated with a voltage (or voltages) that are not associated with the temperature of the memory chip. The circuit may include one or more transistors and switches that are activated based on the voltage profile and a switch receiving a particular control signal. In some instances, the control signal may be received based on a value stored to one or more non-volatile memory elements.

Methods, systems, and apparatus to selectively implement single-error correcting (SEC) operations or single-error correcting and double-error detecting (SECDED) operations, without noticeably impacting die size, for information received from a host device. For example, a host device may indicate that a memory system is to implement SECDED operations using one or more communications (e.g., messages). In another example, the memory system may be hardwired to perform SECDED for certain options. The memory system may adapt circuitry associated with SEC operations to implement SECDED operations without noticeably impacting die size. To implement SECDED operations using SEC circuitry, the memory system may include some additional circuitry to repurpose the SEC circuitry for SECDED operations.

Described is a low power, high-density non-volatile differential memory bit-cell. The transistors of the differential memory bit-cell can be planar or non-planer and can be fabricated in the frontend or backend of a die. A bit-cell of the non-volatile differential memory bit-cell comprises first transistor first non-volatile structure that are controlled to store data of a first value. Another bit-cell of the non-volatile differential memory bit-cell comprises second transistor and second non-volatile structure that are controlled to store data of a second value, wherein the first value is an inverse of the second value. The first and second volatile structures comprise ferroelectric material (e.g., perovskite, hexagonal ferroelectric, improper ferroelectric).

A high-density low voltage ferroelectric (or paraelectric) memory bit-cell that includes a planar ferroelectric or paraelectric capacitor. The memory bit-cell comprises 1T1C configuration, where a plate-line is parallel to a word-line, or the plate-line is parallel to a bit-line. The memory bit-cell can be 1TnC, where ‘n’ is a number. In a 1TnC bit-cell, the capacitors are vertically stacked allowing for multiple values to be stored in a single bit-cell. The memory bit-cell can be multi-element FE gain bit-cell. In a multi-element FE gain bit-cell, data sensing is done with signal amplified by a gain transistor in the bit-cell. As such, higher storage density is realized using multi-element FE gain bit-cells. In some examples, the 1T1C, 1TnC, and multi-element FE gain bit-cells are multi-level bit-cells. To realize multi-level bit-cells, the capacitor is placed in a partially switched polarization state by applying different voltage levels or different time pulse widths at the same voltage level.
