    摘要: Apparatuses and methods for performing concurrent memory access operations for different memory planes are disclosed herein. An example apparatus may include a memory array having a plurality of memory planes. Each of the plurality of memory planes comprises a plurality of memory cells. The apparatus may further include a controller configured to receive a group of memory command and address pairs. Each memory command and address pair of the group of memory command and address pairs may be associated with a respective memory plane of the plurality of memory planes. The internal controller may be configured to concurrently perform memory access operations associated with each memory command and address pair of the group of memory command and address pairs regardless of page types associated with the pairs of the group (e.g., even if two or more of the memory command and address pairs may be associated with different page types).

    摘要: A memory includes a plurality of memory cells and a plurality of bitlines. Each of the plurality of bitlines is coupled to a corresponding one of the plurality of memory cells. A precharge circuit precharges each of the plurality of bitlines before a read operation and precharges all but one of the plurality of bitlines following the read operation. A write driver drives the one of the plurality of bitlines following the read operation. A method includes precharging each of a plurality of bitlines before a read operation. Each of the plurality of bitlines is coupled to a corresponding one of a plurality of memory cells. The method further includes precharging all but one of the plurality of bitlines following the read operation and driving the one of the plurality of bitlines following the read operation.

    摘要: Devices, systems, methods, and other embodiments associated with selectively scheduling memory accesses in parallel are described. In one embodiment, a method includes determining, by a hardware controller, an access speed associated with a page request. The page request is a request to access a memory page in a memory device. The access speed is a number of clock cycles used to access the memory page addressed by the page request. The method also includes scheduling when the page request will be executed based, at least in part, on the access speed by assigning the page request to be executed in parallel with at least one other page request that is to access a different memory page in the memory device using a same number of clock cycles as the page request.
