Abstract:
Methods, systems, and devices related to data relocation via a cache are described. In one example, a memory device in accordance with the described techniques may include a memory array, a sense amplifier array, and a signal development cache configured to store signals (e.g., cache signals, signal states) associated with logic states (e.g., memory states) that may be stored at the memory array (e.g., according to various read or write operations). In some cases, the memory device may transfer data from a first address of the memory array to the signal development cache. The memory device may transfer the data stored in the signal development cache to a second address of the memory array based on a parameter associated with the first address of the memory array satisfying a criterion for performing data relocation.
