Control Circuitry for Scheduling Aspects of Usage-Based Disturbance Mitigation Based on Different External Commands

Abstract

Apparatuses and methods for scheduling aspects of usage-based disturbance mitigation based on different external commands are described. An apparatus comprises a memory device, which has at least one bank comprising memory cells. A subset of the memory cells is configured to store data associated with usage-based disturbance. The apparatus includes circuitry configured to mitigate usage-based disturbance within the bank. The memory device is configured to receive, from a memory controller, two commands that are separated in time by a timing offset. The memory device is configured to generate an internal read command based on the first command to cause the memory device to read the data from the subset of the memory cells. The memory device is configured to generate an internal write command based on the second command to cause the memory device to write modified data generated by the circuitry to the subset of the memory cells.

Dependencies are inferred from the claim text.
