    摘要: An improved memory module and methods for constructing the same are disclosed herein. The memory module includes a substrate having a first surface and a second surface opposite the first surface, each having a central portion, a first array area and a second array area. The first array area is cooler than the second array area during operation. The memory module also includes a power management integrated circuit attached to the central portion of the first surface. The memory module also includes a first semiconductor die attached to the substrate in the first array area. The first semiconductor die has a first performance rating of an operating parameter at high temperatures. The memory module also includes a second semiconductor die attached to the substrate in the second array area. The second semiconductor die has a second performance rating of an operating parameter better than the first performance rating at high temperatures.

    摘要: A memory device includes a memory bank that includes a first set of memory rows in a first section of the memory bank, a first set of redundant rows in a first section of the memory bank, a second set of memory rows in a second section of the memory bank, and a second set of redundant rows in the second section of the memory bank. The memory bank also includes a repeater blocker circuit that when in operation selectively blocks a signal from transmission to the second section of the memory bank and blocker control circuitry that when in operation transmits a control signal to control the selective blocking of the signal by the repeater blocker circuit.

    摘要: Methods, apparatuses, and systems related to managing operations performed in response to refresh management (RFM) commands. A controller generates the RFM command for coordinating a refresh management operation targeted for implementation at an apparatus. The apparatus tracks refresh target set that includes refresh management target locations within the apparatus. According to the tracked refresh management target set, the apparatus selectively implements the targeted refresh management operation and/or a response operation in addition to or as a replacement for the targeted refresh management operation.

    摘要: Embodiments of the disclosure are drawn to apparatuses and methods for staggering the timing of targeted refresh operations. A memory device may include a number of memory banks, at least some of which may be simultaneously entered into a refresh mode. A given memory bank may perform an auto-refresh operation or a targeted refresh operation, which may draw less power than the auto-refresh operation. The timing of the targeted refresh operations may be staggered between the refreshing memory banks, such that a portion of the refreshing memory banks are performing a targeted refresh operation simultaneously with a portion of the refreshing memory banks performing an auto-refresh operation.

    摘要: Memory devices and systems with partial array refresh control over memory regions in a memory array, and associated methods, are disclosed herein. In one embodiment, a memory device includes a memory array having a first memory region and a second memory region. The memory device is configured to write data to the memory array in accordance with a programming sequence by initially writing data to unutilized memory cells of the first memory region before initially writing data to unutilized memory cells of the second memory region. The memory device is further configured to determine that the data stored on the first and/or second memory regions is not consolidated, and to consolidate at least a portion of the data by rewriting the portion of the data to physically or logically contiguous memory cells of the first memory region and/or the second memory region.
