Patent attributes
Embodiments of the disclosure are drawn to apparatuses and methods for analog row access tracking. A plurality of unit cells are provided, each of which contains one or more analog circuits used to track accesses to a portion of the wordlines of a memory device. When a wordline in the portion is accessed, the unit cell may update an accumulator voltage, for example by adding charge to a capacitor. A comparator circuit may determine when one or more accumulator voltages cross a threshold (e.g., a reference voltage). Responsive to the accumulator voltage crossing the threshold, an aggressor address may be loaded in a targeted refresh queue, or if the aggressor address is already in the queue, a priority flag associated with that address may be set. Aggressor addresses may be provided to have their victims refreshed in an order based on the number of set priority flags.
