1. An apparatus comprising:
- a plurality of memory groups;
an operation circuit that performs an operation on a selected memory group of the plurality of memory groups, wherein the operation transitions the selected memory group to a read state; and
a remediation circuit that performs a countermeasure operation on an unselected memory group of the plurality of memory groups in response to the operation on the selected memory group, wherein the countermeasure operation places the unselected memory group into the read state.

10. A system comprising:
-
a plurality of memory blocks coupled to the same control line; a controller configured to; perform an operation on a selected memory block of the plurality of memory blocks; and as part of the operation, perform a read refresh on an unselected memory block of the plurality of memory blocks, wherein the read refresh puts the unselected memory block in a same read state as the selected memory block. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18)

19. An apparatus comprising:
-
means for performing an operation on a selected group of memory cells of a plurality of memory cells using an operation voltage level for the selected group of memory cells and a different voltage level for an unselected group of memory cells of the plurality of memory cells, wherein the operation puts the unselected group of memory cells in a different read state than the selected group of memory cells; and means for performing a read refresh on the unselected group of memory cells of the plurality of memory cells in response to completing the operation.
