A memory device including: a memory cell array including memory cell rows; and a control logic circuit to perform a row, write, read, or pre-charge operation on the memory cell rows in response to an active, write, read, or pre-charge command, wherein the control logic circuit is further configured to: calculate a first count value by counting the active command and a second count value by counting the write command or the read command, with respect to a first memory cell row, during a row hammer monitor time frame; determine a type of row hammer of the first memory cell row based on a ratio of the first count value to the second count value; and adjust a pre-charge preparation time between an active operation and the pre-charge operation, by changing a pre-charge operation time point according to the determined type of row hammer.

An input sampling method includes the following operations. A first pulse signal and a second pulse signal are received. Logical operation is performed on the first pulse signal and the second pulse signal to determine a to-be-sampled signal. The to-be-sampled signal is obtained by shielding an invalid part of the second pulse signal according to a logical operation result. Sampling process is performed on the to-be-sampled signal to obtain a target sampled signal.

Methods, systems, and devices for write operation techniques for memory systems are described. In some memory systems, write operations performed on target memory cells of the memory device may disturb logic states stored by one or more adjacent memory cells. Such disturbances may cause reductions in read margins when accessing one or more memory cells, or may cause a loss of data in one or more memory cells. The described techniques may reduce aspects of logic state degradation by supporting operational modes where a host device, a memory device, or both, refrains from writing information to a region of a memory array, or inhibits write commands associated with write operations on a region of a memory array.

A sense amplifier includes a sense amplifying unit, first and second isolation units, and first and second offset cancellation unit. The sense amplifying unit includes a first P-type metal-oxide-semiconductor (PMOS) transistor, a second PMOS transistor, a first N-type metal-oxide-semiconductor (NMOS) transistor, and a second NMOS transistor. In a layout of the sense amplifier, the first and second PMOS transistors are disposed in a central region of the sense amplifier, the first and second NMOS transistors are disposed at opposite sides of the sense amplifier from each other, the first isolation unit and the first offset cancellation unit are disposed between the first PMOS transistor and the first NMOS transistor, and the second isolation unit and the second offset cancellation unit are disposed between the second PMOS transistor and the second NMOS transistor. In other layouts, the locations of the PMOS transistors and NMOS transistors may be reversed.

The embodiments described herein describe technologies for using the memory modules in different modes of operation, such as in a standard multi-drop mode or as in a dynamic point-to-point (DPP) mode (also referred to herein as an enhanced mode). The memory modules can also be inserted in the sockets of the memory system in different configurations.

An integrated circuit (IC) includes first and scan latches that are enabled to load data during a first part of a clock period. A clocking circuit outputs latch clocks with one latch clock driven to an active state during a second part of the clock period dependent on a first address input. A set of storage elements have inputs coupled to the output of the first scan latch and are respectively coupled to a latch clock to load data during a time that their respective latch clock is in an active state. A selector circuit is coupled to outputs of the first set of storage elements and outputs a value from one output based on a second address input. The second scan latch then loads data from the selector's output during the first part of the input clock period.

An electronic device includes a command generation circuit configured to generate a refresh command and a driving control signal, which are enabled during an all-bank refresh operation, according to a logic level combination of an internal chip selection signal and an internal command address. The electronic device also includes a buffer control circuit configured to generate, from the refresh command and the driving control signal, a first buffer enable signal for enabling a first group of buffers and a second buffer enable signal for enabling a second group of buffers.

A memory module supports multiple memory channel modes, each including a double-date-rate (DDR) data channel supported by an independent command-and-address (CA) channel. In a two-channel mode, the memory module supports two DDR data channels using two respective DDR CA channels. Each CA channel includes a corresponding set of CA links. In a four-channel mode, the memory module supports two pairs of DDR data channels, each pair supported by a pair of independent CA channels. Memory commands issued in the four-channel mode are time interleaved to share one of the sets of CA links.

A memory device is provided. The memory device includes a plurality of memory chips that are stacked, wherein each of the memory chips includes a memory cell array, which includes a plurality of memory cell rows, a chip identifier generator configured to generate a chip identifier signal indicating a chip identifier of each of the memory chips, a refresh counter configured to generate a target row address for refreshing the memory cell rows in response to a refresh command, and a target row address generator, which receives the chip identifier signal and the target row address and outputs one of the target row address and an inverted target row address, obtained by inverting the target row address, as a refresh row address based on the chip identifier signal, and performs a refresh operation on a memory cell row corresponding to the refresh row address.
