Abstract

Methods, systems, and devices for evaluation of memory device health monitoring logic are described. For example, a memory device may include health monitoring logic operable to activate certain internal health monitors of a set of multiple monitors and to communicate an output associated with the activated monitors. In a first mode of operation, the health monitoring logic may provide a single output that is generated from multiple outputs of the set of monitors. In a second mode of operation, the health monitoring logic may cycle through certain monitors (e.g., in a test mode), and may generate an output corresponding to respective active monitors as it cycles through the set of monitors. The health monitoring logic may communicate an output specific to each monitor to a host device such that the host device may evaluate an output from each monitor of the set of monitors.
