Abstract:
Memory devices, systems including memory devices, and methods of operating memory devices in which redundancy match is disabled to permit activating more word lines in parallel during refresh operations to increase a refresh rate of memory cells in a memory array. In one embodiment, a memory device is provided, comprising a memory array including a plurality of word lines arranged in a plurality of memory banks. The memory device further comprises circuitry configured to (i) store a value indicating one or more addresses corresponding to word lines in the plurality of word lines, (ii) disable redundancy match, (iii) activate one or more first word lines in the memory array corresponding to the one or more addresses indicated by the value to refresh first data stored in the memory array, and (iv) update the value based at least in part on activating the one or more first word lines.

Claim (Index 9):
The memory device of  claim 7 , wherein\u2014\n the circuitry is further configured to fire a second pump in the pump sequence corresponding to the current pump indicated by the updated pump value; \n the second pump is a dry fire in the pump sequence; \n when firing the second pump, the circuitry is configured to activate the one or more word lines corresponding to a subset of the one or more addresses indicated by the first updated address value in parallel; \n the subset of the one or more addresses corresponds to a first number of word lines per memory bank in the plurality of memory banks and/or to one or more word lines on a second number of memory banks in the plurality of memory banks; and \n when activating the one or more word lines corresponding to the one or more addresses indicated by the address value in parallel, the circuitry is configured to activate a third number of word lines per memory bank in the plurality of memory banks greater than the first number and/or to activate word lines on a fourth number of memory banks in the plurality of memory banks greater than the second number.
