US 2022/0044713 A1 · READ BROADCAST OPERATIONS ASSOCIATED WITH A MEMORY DEVICE

Abstract

Methods, systems, and devices related to write broadcast operations associated with a memory device are described. In one example, a memory device in accordance with the described techniques may include a memory array, a sense amplifier array, and a signal development cache configured to store signals (e.g., cache signals, signal states) associated with logic states (e.g., memory states) that may be stored at the memory array (e.g., according to various read or write operations). The memory device may enable read broadcast operations. A read broadcast may occur from the memory array to multiple locations of the signal development cache, for example via one or more multiplexers.

Dependent claims

A method, comprising:

identifying a pattern of logic states stored in a second component of a memory device;
coupling a plurality of access lines with a selection component, wherein the plurality of access lines are coupled with the second component;
capturing the pattern of logic states at the selection component based at least in part on coupling the plurality of access lines with the selection component;
coupling the selection component with a plurality of locations of a first component of the memory device based at least in part on capturing the pattern of logic states;
and
storing, at the plurality of locations of the first component and based at least in part on coupling the selection component with the plurality of locations of the first component, a pattern of signal states associated with the pattern of logic states.
