Abstract

Apparatuses and techniques for implementing usage-based disturbance mitigation counter control are described. In some examples, a mitigation counter controller manages mitigation of usage-based disturbances by mitigating one or more wordlines in a memory device that have been disturbed. The mitigation counter controller may access a usage-based disturbance counter by activating a single sub wordline driver in the wordline, where the usage-based disturbance counter is associated with usage-based disturbances of the wordline. Activation of a single sub wordline driver to access the usage-based disturbance counter may reduce power consumption and may simplify the design of the memory device.
