20120230110 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR ADDRESSING MEMORY ARRAYS - The present description relates to non-volatile memory arrays and the operation thereof In at least one embodiment, the non-volatile memory array may include a plurality of memory modules coupled in a daisy chain with enable in/out signals, and a single chip enable signal coupled in parallel to each memory module. With such a configuration, all memory units within each of the memory modules of each memory array may be addressed with the single chip enable | 09-13-2012 |
20140293704 | Auto-Suspend and Auto-Resume Operations for a Multi-Die NAND Memory Device - A method and apparatus that controls a peak-current condition in a multi-die memory, such as a solid-state drive, by determining by at least one die of the multi-die memory whether a subsequent memory operation is a high-current memory operation, such as an operation to enable a charge pump of the die, an operation to charge a bit line of the die, or a program/erase loop operation, or a combination thereof. The die enters a suspended-operation mode if the subsequent memory operation is determined to be a high current memory operation. Operation is resumed by the die in response to a resume operation event, such as, but not limited to, a command specifically address to the die, an indication from another die that a high-current memory operation is complete. Once operation is resumed, the die performs the high-current memory operation. | 10-02-2014 |

20120300556 | DEVICES AND SYSTEMS INCLUDING ENABLING CIRCUITS - Examples of devices and systems including enabling circuits are described. Two voltage supplies may be used to operate different portions of the devices, including peripheral circuits and I/O circuits. When the voltage supply to the peripheral circuits of one or more devices is disabled, the I/O circuits of that device may be disabled. In some examples, power may advantageously be saved in part by eliminating or reducing a DC current path through the I/O circuits. | 11-29-2012 |

20140258619 | APPARATUSES AND METHODS FOR A MEMORY DIE ARCHITECTURE - Apparatuses and methods for reducing capacitance on a data bus are disclosed herein. In accordance with one or more described embodiments, an apparatus may comprise a plurality of memories coupled to an internal data bus and a command and address bus, each of the memories configured to receive a command on the command and address bus. One of the plurality of memories may be coupled to an external data bus. The one of the plurality of memories may be configured to provide program data to the internal data bus when the command comprises a program command and another of the plurality of memories is a target memory of the program command and may be configured to provide read data to the external data bus when the command comprises a read command and the another of the plurality of memories is a target memory of the read command. | 09-11-2014 |
