Initialization techniques for memory devices

A method performed by a memory device, the method comprising:

• reading, as part of an initialization procedure for a controller on a second die within the memory device, a first set of operating instructions for the controller from read-only memory on the second die;
• identifying a memory block of a memory array on a first die within the memory device based at least in part on the first set of operating instructions;
• reading a second set of operating instructions for the controller from the memory block of the memory array based at least in part on the identifying;
• and
• completing the initialization procedure for the controller based at least in part on the second set of operating instructions read from the memory block of the memory array.

An apparatus, comprising:

• a first die comprising a memory array, wherein the memory array comprises a plurality of memory blocks;
• and
• a second die coupled with the first die, wherein the second die comprises a controller for the memory array, wherein:
• read-only memory on the second die is configured to store a first set of operating instructions for the controller;
• a memory block of the memory array on the first die is configured to store a second set of operating instructions for the controller;
• and
• the first set of operating instructions are configured to indicate the memory block of the memory array on the first die that is configured to store the second set of operating instructions for the controller.

An apparatus, comprising:

• a first die coupled with a second die within a package or module;
• a memory array on the first die;
• read-only memory on the second die;
• and
• a controller on the second die for the memory array, wherein the read-only memory on the second die is configured to store a first set of operating instructions for an initialization procedure of the controller, and wherein the memory array comprises a memory block configured to store a second set of operating instructions for the initialization procedure of the controller.

A method, comprising:

• forming a memory array on a first die;
• forming a controller for the memory array on a second die;
• forming read-only memory on the second die, and wherein forming the controller comprises encoding a first set of operating instructions for the controller to the read-only memory;
• and
• writing, to a memory block of the memory array, a second set of operating instructions for the controller, wherein the first set of operating instructions includes a mapping to the memory block to which the second set of operating instructions for the controller is written.
