    Abstract: Methods and apparatuses for an optimal timer array using a single reference counter are presented. According to one aspect, timers of the timer array use the single reference counter to process different timed trigger requests. A count translation logic block translates counts corresponding to the requested timed triggers to target values of the reference counter. Register arrays that include the target values and active/inactive status flags of the timers are used to implement specific timers. Comparators are used to compare values of the reference counter to the target values to establish expiration of the requested timed triggers. A target translation logic block translates a current value of the reference counter to an offset value from the target values for monitoring by an external circuit.

    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for adaptive throughput monitoring are described. In some examples, a memory system may be associated with one or more clocks that are each associated with a respective subcomponent. When the memory system receives a plurality of commands, the memory system may determine a throughput of the commands. Based on the determined throughput, the memory system may adjust a rate of one or more of the clocks.
