    摘要: Apparatuses, systems, and methods related to accessing a memory resource at one or more physically remote entities are described. A system accessing a memory resource at one or more physically remote entities may enable performance of functions, including automated functions critical for prevention of damage to a product, personnel safety, and/or reliable operation, based on increased access to data that may improve performance of a mission profile. For instance, one apparatus described herein includes a first vehicle configured to determine that a processing capability or a memory capacity, or both, at the first vehicle is insufficient to perform a processing operation at the first vehicle, identify additional processing resources or additional memory capacity, or both, at a second vehicle that is in wireless communication with the first vehicle based at least in part on determining that the processing capability or the memory capacity, or both, at the first vehicle is insufficient, and perform the processing operation at the first vehicle using the additional processing resources or the additional memory capacity, or both.

    摘要: A semiconductor device assembly and associated methods are disclosed herein. The semiconductor device assembly includes (1) a substrate having a first side and a second side opposite the first side; (2) a first set of stacked semiconductor devices at the first side of the substrate; (3) a second set of stacked semiconductor devices adjacent to one side of the first set of stacked semiconductor devices; (4) a third set of stacked semiconductor devices adjacent to an opposite side of the first set of stacked semiconductor devices; and (5) a temperature adjusting component at the second side and aligned with the second set of stacked semiconductor devices. The temperature adjusting component is positioned to absorb the thermal energy and thereby thermally isolate the second set of stacked semiconductor devices from the first set of stacked semiconductor devices.

    摘要: Memory devices, systems including memory devices, and methods of operating memory devices are described, in which security measures may be implemented to control access to a fuse array (or other secure features) of the memory devices based on a secure access key. In some cases, a customer may define and store a user-defined access key in the fuse array. In other cases, a manufacturer of the memory device may define a manufacturer-defined access key (e.g., an access key based on fuse identification (FID), a secret access key), where a host device coupled with the memory device may obtain the manufacturer-defined access key according to certain protocols. The memory device may compare an access key included in a command directed to the memory device with either the user-defined access key or the manufacturer-defined access key to determine whether to permit or prohibit execution of the command based on the comparison.

    摘要: Methods, systems, and devices that support variable modulation schemes for memory are described. A device may switch between different modulation schemes for communication based on one or more operating parameters associated with the device or a component of the device. The modulation schemes may involve amplitude modulation in which different levels of a signal represent different data values. For instance, the device may use a first modulation scheme that represents data using two levels and a second modulation scheme that represents data using four levels. In one example, the device may switch from the first modulation scheme to the second modulation scheme when bandwidth demand is high, and the device may switch from the second modulation scheme to the first modulation scheme when power conservation is in demand. The device may also, based on the operating parameter, change the frequency of the signal pulses communicated using the modulation schemes.

    摘要: Methods, systems, and devices for dual address encoding for logical-to-physical mapping are described. A memory device may identify a first physical address corresponding to a first logical block address generated by a host device and a second physical address corresponding to a second (consecutive) logical block address generated by a host device. The memory device may store the first physical address and second physical address in a single entry of a logical-to-physical mapping table that corresponds to the first logical block address. The memory device may transmit the logical-to-physical table to the host device for storage at the host device. The host device may subsequently transmit a single read command to the memory device that includes the first physical address and the second physical address based on the logical-to-physical table.
