Abstract

Methods, systems, and devices for circuit for tracking access occurrences are described. For instance, a memory device may include a memory array with column lines extending in a first direction and row lines extending in a second direction. The memory device may include a set of sense amplifiers adjacent to the memory array in the first direction, where a first subset of the set of sense amplifiers is coupled with the first set of column lines and a second subset of the set of sense amplifiers is coupled with the second set of column lines. The memory device may include a circuit adjacent to the set of sense amplifiers along the second direction, where the circuit is configured to increment, based on the access operation for the row line, a value including the logic states read by the second subset of the set of sense amplifiers.
