    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for a cross-point pillar architecture for memory arrays are described. Multiple selector devices may be configured to access or activate a pillar within a memory array, where the selector devices may each be or include a chalcogenide material. A pillar access line may be coupled with multiple selector devices, where each selector device may correspond to a pillar associated with the pillar access line. Pillar access lines on top and bottom of the pillars of the memory array may be aligned in a square or rectangle formation, or in a hexagonal formation. Pillars and corresponding selector devices on top and bottom of the pillars may be located at overlapping portions of the pillar access lines, thereby forming a cross point architecture for pillar selection or activation. The selector devices may act in pairs to select or activate a pillar upon application of a respective selection voltage.

    Abstract: Methods and systems include memory devices with multiple access lines arranged in an array to form a multiple intersections. Memory cells are located at the intersections of the multiple access lines. Decoders are configured to drive the multiple memory cells via the multiple access lines. Variable biasing circuitry may bias a voltage on an access line of the multiple access lines to change a variable ramp rate of the voltage on the access line. A control circuit is configured to determine a memory cell of the multiple memory cells to be activated. Based at least in part on a distance from the memory cell to a corresponding decoder, the control circuit may set the variable ramp rate of the biasing circuitry.

    Abstract: Systems, apparatuses, and methods related to extended memory communication subsystems for performing extended memory operations are described. An example method can include receiving, at a processing unit that is coupled between a host device and a non-volatile memory device, signaling indicative of a plurality of operations to be performed on data written to or read from the non-volatile memory device. The method can further include performing, at the processing unit, at least one operation of the plurality of operations in response to the signaling. The method can further include accessing a portion of a memory array in the non-volatile memory device. The method can further include transmitting additional signaling indicative of a command to perform one or more additional operations of the plurality of operations on the data written to or read from the non-volatile memory device.
