COOPERATIVE MEMORY ERROR DETECTION AND REPAIR

摘要

Some embodiments include apparatuses and methods having a memory structure included in a memory device and a control unit included in the memory device. The control unit can provide information obtained from the memory structure during a memory operation to a host device (e.g., a processor) in response to a command from the host device. If the control unit receives a notification from the host device indicating that the host device has detected an error in the information obtained from the memory structure, then a repair unit included in the memory device performs a memory repair operation to repair a portion in the memory structure.
