Embodiments of the disclosure are drawn to apparatuses, systems, and methods for direct access hybrid testing. A memory device, such as a high bandwidth memory (HBM) may include direct access terminals. During a testing procedure, test instructions may be provided to the memory through the direct access terminals. The test instructions include a data pointer which is associated with one of a plurality of test patterns pre-loaded in the memory and an address. The selected test pattern may be written to, and subsequently read from, the memory cells associated with the address. The read test pattern may be compared to the selected test pattern to generate result information. The test patterns may be loaded to the memory, and the result information may be read out from the memory, in an operational mode different than the operational mode in which the test instructions are provided.

Embodiments of the disclosure are drawn to apparatuses, systems, and methods for signal encryption in high bandwidth memory. A high bandwidth memory (HBM) may include a mix of secure circuits and non-secure circuits, which are coupled to secure and non-secure registers respectively. Information may be communicated between the secure and non-secure registers along an interface. The information associated with the secure register may be encrypted. When information is written to the secure register, an encryption circuit in the HBM may first decrypt the information before it is written to the secure register. When information is read from the secure register, it may first be encrypted by the encryption circuit before it is provided along the interface.

Apparatuses including a test interface circuit that is configured to merge multiple independent traffic streams generated from individual algorithmic pattern generators (APGs) for communication with a memory device over a shared memory interface. The combination of multiple independent traffic streams, each with their own looping sequences and command timings, may generate a large set of random command sequences. The test interface circuit may include an arbiter circuit that merges a first independent traffic stream from a first APG and a second independent traffic stream from a second APG. Each of the first and second independent traffic streams are directed to different semi-independently-accessible portions of the memory device. The memory device may include a hybrid memory cube having independently accessible vaults or a high bandwidth memory device having independently accessible channels, in some examples. The test interface circuit may be included in a built-in self-test engine or in a standalone tester.

Apparatus and methods structured with respect to a data bus having a number of data lines and a number of shield lines can be implemented in a variety of applications. Such apparatus and methods can include driver and receiver circuits that operate to generate and/or decode a data bit inversion signal associated with data propagated on data lines of the data bus. The driver and receiver circuits may be arranged to operate on a two bit basis to interface with the data bus having data lines grouped with respect to the two bits with shield lines for the respective two bit data lines. Additional apparatus and methods are disclosed.

Apparatuses and methods of sharing error correction memory on an interface chip are described. An example apparatus includes: at least one memory chip having a plurality of first memory cells and an interface chip coupled to the at least one memory chip and having a control circuit and a storage area. The control circuit detects one or more defective memory cells of the first memory cells of the at least one memory chip. The control circuit further stores first defective address information of the one or more defective memory cells of the first memory cells into the storage area. The interface chip responds to the first defective address information and an access request to access the storage area in place of the at least one memory chip when the access request has been provided with respect to the one or more defective memory cells of the first memory cells.
