    摘要: A system can include a processing device operatively coupled with the one or more memory devices, to perform operations that include writing data to the one or more memory devices and performing one or more scan operations on a management unit containing the data to determine a current value of a chosen data state metric. Each scan operation can be performed using a corresponding predetermined read-time parameter value. The operations can include determining whether the current value of the chosen data state metric satisfies a criterion, and can also include, responsive to determining that the current value of the chosen data state metric satisfies the criterion, selecting a remedial operation by determining whether redundancy metadata is included in a fault tolerant data stripe on the one or more memory devices. The operations can also include performing the remedial operation with respect to the management unit.

    摘要: Memory devices might include an array of memory cells, a plurality of access lines, and control logic. The array of memory cells includes a plurality of strings of series-connected memory cells. Each access line of the plurality of access lines is connected to a control gate of a respective memory cell of each string of series-connected memory cells of the plurality of strings of series-connected memory cells. The control logic is configured to: open the array of memory cells for multiple read operations; read first page data from respective memory cells coupled to a selected access line of the plurality of access lines; read second page data from the respective memory cells coupled to the selected access line; and close the array of memory cells subsequent to reading the first page data and the second page data.

    摘要: A memory device comprising an array of memory cells organized into a set of sub-blocks and a set of wordlines. Control logic is operatively coupled with the array of memory cells, the control logic to perform operations including: receiving a program command from a processing device, the program command including information indicative of a physical address associated with a retired wordline of the set of wordlines; in response to detecting the information within the program command, generating dummy data that is one of pseudo-random data, all one values, or all zero values; and causing the dummy data to be programmed to memory cells of multiple sub-blocks of the set of sub-blocks that are selectively connected to the retired wordline.

    摘要: Over time, the number of write cycles required to successfully program a multi-level cell (MLC) is reduced. Since a hard-coded value does not change over the lifetime of the device, the device may perform too many verify steps at one stage of the device lifetime and wait too long to begin verification at another stage of the device lifetime, reducing performance of the device. As discussed herein, verification for higher voltage level programming is delayed until verification for lower voltage level programming reaches at least a threshold level of success instead of using a hard-coded number of verify steps to skip. As a result, the performance drawbacks associated with skipping a hard-coded number of verify cycles may not occur.

    摘要: Methods, systems, and devices for overwriting at a memory system are described. A memory system may be configured to overwrite portions of a memory array with new data, which may be associated with omitting an erase operation. For example, write operations may be performed in accordance with a first demarcation configuration to store information at a portion of a memory array. A portion of a memory system may then determine to overwrite the portion of the memory array with different or updated information, which may include performing write operations in accordance with a second demarcation configuration. The second demarcation configuration may be associated with different cell characteristics for a one or more logic states, such as different distributions of stored charge or other cell property, different demarcation characteristics, different write operations, among other differences, which may support performing an overwrite operation without first performing an erase operation.
