MEMORY DEVICES AND SYSTEMS FOR HOST CONTROLLED ENABLEMENT OF AUTOMATIC BACKGROUND OPERATIONS IN A MEMORY DEVICE

Abstract:

Memory devices might include an array of memory cells, a register, and a controller for access of the array of memory cells. The controller might be configured to autonomously perform background operations on the array of memory cells in response to the register storing a first value, and prohibit autonomous performance of the background operations on the array of memory cells in response to the register storing a second value different than the first value. The memory devices might be in communication with a host.
