Contention measures for memory packages with buffer die

Abstract

A memory package may include multiple memory devices and a buffer die in some examples. The buffer die may include a contention circuit that detects conflicts/contentions between commands from a controller and housekeeping operations of the memory. In some examples, the contention circuit may request the controller resend the command in the event of a contention. In some examples, the buffer die may further include a queue to store commands and/or data. The queue may store the commands/data and/or responses from the memory devices for a set period of time and/or until the contention circuit determines the contention no longer exists.
