Abstract
Methods, devices, and systems for managing initialization in memory devices are provided. In one aspect, a memory device including a memory array and a peripheral circuit coupled to the memory array. The memory array includes memory banks. The peripheral circuit is configured to perform operations including receiving a write initialization command, and in response to the write initialization command, initializing the one or more memory banks. The write initialization command includes an instruction to initialize one or more memory banks.
Claims20
A memory device, comprising:
- a memory array comprising memory banks;
- and
- a peripheral circuit coupled to the memory array and configured to perform operations comprising:
- receiving a write initialization command, wherein the write initialization command comprises an instruction to initialize one or more memory banks;
- and
- in response to the write initialization command, initializing the one or more memory banks.
A memory system, comprising:
- a memory device comprising a memory array comprising memory banks;
- and
- a memory controller coupled to the memory device, wherein the memory controller is configured to:
- send a write initialization command, wherein the write initialization command comprises an instruction to initialize one or more memory banks, and
- wherein the memory device is configured to:
- receive the write initialization command;
- and
- initialize the one or more memory banks.
A method of operating a memory device, comprising:
- receiving a write initialization command, wherein the write initialization command comprises an instruction to initialize one or more memory banks of the memory device;
- and
- in response to the write initialization command, initializing the one or more memory banks.
