Abstract: An apparatus includes circuitry configured to generate multiple results, each result using a different read voltage, in response to one or each received data access command. The multiple read results may be used to dynamically calibrate a read voltage assigned to generate a read result in response to a read command.

Abstract: A memory system includes a memory device comprising a content addressable memory (CAM) block storing a plurality of stored search keys. The memory system further includes a processing device that receives an input search key and identifies, from the plurality of stored search keys in the CAM block, multiple redundant copies of a stored search key that match the input search key. The processing device further determining whether a number of the multiple redundant copies of the stored search key that match the input search key satisfies a threshold criterion. Responsive to the number of the multiple redundant copies of the stored search key that match the input search key satisfying the threshold criterion, the processing device determines a match result for the input search key.

Abstract: A memory array includes a block including wordlines, bitlines, and strings each connected to a respective bitline. The block is divided into a sub-blocks. Each sub-block includes a respective set of the strings, and each string of the set of strings is located at a sub-block position within its respective sub-block. Control logic performs operations including selecting each sub-block, causing a first voltage to be applied to a dummy wordline to activate a first set of dummy cells and deactivate a second set of dummy cells, and causing a second voltage to be applied to a selected wordline. Each sub-block includes a single string corresponding to an open string connected to a dummy cell of the first set of dummy cells. The second voltage causes data to be read out from each open string to a respective page buffer.

Abstract: Described are systems and methods for implementing continuous memory programming operations. An example memory device comprises: a memory array comprising a plurality of memory cells electrically coupled to a plurality of conductive lines; and a controller coupled to the memory array. The controller performs operations comprising: performing a memory programming operation with respect to a set of memory cells of the memory array, wherein the memory programming operation comprises a sequence of programming pulses applied to one or more conductive lines electrically coupled to the set of memory cells; responsive to receiving a command to perform a memory access operation, suspending the memory programming operation after performing a current programming pulse of the sequence of programming pulses, wherein the current programming pulse is performed at a first voltage level; initiating the memory access operation; and resuming the memory programming operation by performing a next programming pulse at a second voltage level that exceeds the first voltage level.

Abstract: A microelectronic device comprises a microelectronic device structure comprising a section comprising page buffers, and an additional section horizontally neighboring the section and comprising page buffer drivers and a timing delay chain coupled to the page buffer drivers. Each of the page buffer drivers is coupled to different group of the page buffers than each other of the page buffer drivers. The timing delay chain comprises timing delay circuits coupled in series with one another. Each of the timing delay circuits is configured to adjustably delay propagation of a control signal therethrough. Memory devices, methods of operating memory devices, and electronic systems are also described.

Abstract: Control logic in a memory device receives a request to read data from a memory array of a memory device, the request comprising an indication of a segment of the memory array where the data is stored, and determines whether a write temperature associated with the data is stored in a flag byte corresponding to the segment of the memory array. Responsive to determining that the write temperature associated with the data is stored in the flag byte, the control logic determines a cross-temperature for the data based on the write temperature and a read temperature at a time when the request to read the data is received, determines a program/erase cycle count associated with the segment of the memory array, and determines, based on the cross-temperature and the program/erase cycle count, whether to perform a corrective action to calibrate a read voltage level to be applied to the memory array to read the data from the segment.

Abstract: Control logic in a memory device initiates a programming operation to program a set of memory cells of the memory device to a target programming level of a set of programming levels. During execution of the programming operation, a programming status associated with the set of memory cells. In response to determining the programming status satisfies a condition, causing a release of a set of data associated with the programming operation from a cache register.
