Abstract
The present disclosure includes apparatuses and methods related to shifting data. An example apparatus comprises a cache coupled to an array of memory cells and a controller. The controller is configured to perform a first operation beginning at a first address to transfer data from the array of memory cells to the cache, and perform a second operation concurrently with the first operation, the second operation beginning at a second address.
Claims26
An apparatus, comprising:
- a cache coupled to an array of memory cells;
- and
- a controller configured to:
- perform a first operation beginning at a first address to transfer data from the array of memory cells to the cache;
- and
- perform a second operation concurrently with the first operation, the second operation beginning at a second address.
3 more elements
An apparatus, comprising:
- an array of memory cells coupled to sensing circuitry including a sense amplifier and a compute component;
- a cache coupled to the array of memory cells;
- and
- a controller coupled to a plurality of registers and the array, wherein the controller is configured to:
- transfer a first block of data from a first address of the array to a first address of the cache during a first time period;
- transfer a second block of data from a second address of the array to a second address of the cache during a second time period;
- and
- transfer a portion of the first block of data from the first address of the cache to a data bus during the second time period.
5 more elements
An apparatus, comprising:
- a host coupled to an interface;
- a register communicatively coupled to the interface;
- and
- a controller coupled to the host and the register, wherein the controller is configured to:
- control writing data from the host to a cache;
- and
- control writing the data from a first address of the cache to an array of memory cells while data is concurrently written from the host to a second address of the cache.
4 more elements
A method, comprising:
- transferring data from an array of memory cells to a cache beginning at a first address;
- and
- reading the data out of the cache in response to the data being transferred from the array of memory cells beginning at a second address.
