Abstract
Methods, systems, and devices for techniques for indicating row activation are described. A memory device may receive an indication associated with an activation command, which may enable the memory device to begin some aspects of an activation operation before receiving the associated activation command. The indication may include a location of a next row to access as part of the activation command. The indication may be included in a previous activation command or in a precharge command. The memory device may begin activation operations for the next row before the precharge operation of the current row is complete. The memory device may receive the activation command for the next row after receiving the indication, and may complete the activation operations upon receiving the activation command.
