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 22):
The method of  claim 19 , wherein\u2014\n the plurality of word lines includes main word lines in a main array and redundant word lines in a redundant array; \n the one or more word lines corresponding to the one or more addresses indicated by the value are located at an end of the redundant array; \n updating the value includes (i) resetting the value and (ii) changing the redundant pretest bit from a second state to a first state; and \n the method further comprises:\n enabling a row address decoder of the memory device in response to changing the redundancy pretest bit from the second state to the first state; and \n firing a second pump by activating one or more word lines in the main array corresponding to the one or more addresses indicated by the reset value.
