Abstract
Apparatuses and techniques for implementing aspects of proactive usage-based disturbance mitigation based on resource availability are described. In an example aspect, usage-based disturbance circuitry of a memory device performs usage-based disturbance mitigation based on multiple criteria. A primary criterion is associated with normal usage-based disturbance mitigation and can enable the memory device to balance power consumption with usage-based disturbance mitigation. At least one secondary criterion is less strict compared to the primary criterion. While a resource is available, the usage-based disturbance circuitry can proactively mitigate usage-based disturbance based on activated rows that satisfy the secondary criterion but don't yet satisfy the primary criterion. With these preemptive measures, the usage-based disturbance circuitry can reduce a probability of a waterfall event causing a denial-of-service (DOS) situation while the resource is available. If the resource becomes limited, the usage-based disturbance circuitry temporarily disables proactive usage-based disturbance mitigation until the resource becomes available again.
