Abstract

Methods, systems, and devices for memory operations are described. A command may be received by a memory device and from a device. Both the device and the memory device may maintain counters of valid operations. A request for a value associated with a counter at the memory device may be received from the device. Based on receiving the request, a value of the counter may be transmitted to the device. The values of the counters may be compared to determine whether invalid data has been obtained by the device. Also, a pin associated with communicating error correction information may be coupled with a voltage source based on receiving a signal. The pin may remain coupled with the voltage source until a command is processed or an end of the signal. Whether the pin is coupled with the voltage source may indicate a validity of associated data.
