Quick precharge for memory sensing

Abstract:

Methods, systems, and devices for performing quick precharge command sequences are described. An operating mode that is associated with a command sequence having a reduced duration relative to another operating mode may be configured at a memory device. The operating mode may be configured based on determining that a procedure does not attempt to preserve or is independent of preserving a logic state of accessed memory cells, among other conditions. While operating in the mode, the memory device may perform a received precharge command using a first set of operations having a first duration--rather than a second set of operations having a second set of operations having a second, longer duration--to perform the received precharge command. The first set of operations may also use less current or introduce less disturbance into the memory device relative to the second set of operations.
