Abstract
Apparatuses, systems, and methods for address based memory performance. A memory array may include a first performance region and a second performance region, each of which may have different performance characteristics from each other. The second region may be distinguished from the first region based on the addresses which are associated with each region. The second performance region may have different performance characteristics based on differences in the layout, components, logic circuits, and combinations thereof. For example, the second region, compared to the first region, may have reduced difference to the data terminals, reduced length of digit lines, a different type of sense amplifier, different refresh address tracking, and combinations thereof. The controller may perform access operations on the memory with different timing based on which region of the memory is accessed.
