Abstract: A variety of applications can include a memory device having memory cells that include capacitors as storage units with each capacitor having a plate coupled to a plate line. The memory device can include a plate line driver coupled to specific plate select lines of a set of multiple plate select lines. A plate line driver scheme can include transistors to provide a plate line voltage to a specific plate line and transistors to provide a system reference voltage to the specific plate line, where high state voltages and low state voltages can be applied to specific plate select lines to switch between placing the plate line voltage or the system reference voltage on the specific plate line. Plate select lines and the plate line driver scheme can be arranged to balance the number of plate select lines and device counts for the plate line drivers.

Abstract: A processing device, operatively coupled with a memory device, performs a first programming operation on a first set of cells associated with a first wordline of a first die of the memory device. The processing device identifies, based on a first predefined value, a second wordline of a second die of the memory device, wherein the first predefined value is a shift in an index value of the first wordline of the first die of the memory device. The processing device further performs a second programming operation on a second set of cells associated with the second wordline of the second die, wherein the second wordline of the second die is associated with a different index value than the first wordline of the first die.

Abstract: Control logic in a memory device causes a first programming pulse of a set of programming pulses associated with a programming algorithm to be applied to a wordline associated with a memory cell to be programmed to a first target voltage level representing a first programming level. The control logic further performs a program verify operation corresponding to the first programming level to determine that a threshold voltage of the memory cell exceeds the first target voltage level. The control logic further causes first data to be stored in a cache, the first data indicating that the threshold voltage of the memory cell exceeds the first target voltage level. The cache is caused to be refreshed to store second data indicating that the threshold voltage of the memory cell is less than the first target voltage level. In view of the second data, a further programming pulse is caused to be applied to the wordline associated with the memory cell at a reduced programming stress level.
