    Abstract: Certain embodiments of the present invention include an apparatus comprising a charge pump, configured to provide an output voltage at an output node of the charge pump, and a charge pump regulator circuit coupled to the charge pump. One such charge pump regulator circuit is configured to control the charge pump to increase the output voltage during a first period of time. Such a charge pump regulator circuit can also cause a node of a circuit coupled to the output node of the charge pump to reach a target voltage level during a second time period.

    Abstract: A low-dropout regulator includes an error amplifier to provide a control signal, a first transistor, and a second transistor. The first transistor receives the control signal and has a source-drain path electrically coupled between a supply voltage node and a load, the first transistor to power the load in response to a voltage on the supply voltage node rising above an absolute value of a threshold voltage of the first transistor. The second transistor has a source-drain path electrically coupled between the supply voltage node and the load, the second transistor to receive the control signal in response to the voltage on the supply voltage node rising above a particular voltage.

    Abstract: Apparatuses and methods for threshold voltage (Vt) distribution determination are described. A number of apparatuses can include sense circuitry configured to determine a first current on a source line of an array of memory cells, the first current corresponding to a first quantity of memory cells of a group of memory cells that conducts in response to a first sensing voltage applied to an access line and determine a second current on the source line, the second current corresponding to a second quantity of memory cells of the group that conducts in response to a second sensing voltage applied to the access line. The number of apparatuses can include a controller configured to determine at least a portion of a Vt distribution corresponding to the group of memory cells based, at least in part, on the first current and the second current.
