Abstract: Exemplary embodiments provide wear spreading among die regions (i.e., one or more circuits) in an integrated circuit or among dies by using operating condition data in addition to or instead of environmental data such as temperature data, from each of a plurality of die regions. Control logic produces a cumulative amount of time each of the plurality of die regions has spent at an operating condition based on operating condition data wherein the operating condition data is based on at least one of the following operating characteristics: frequency of operation of the plurality of die regions, an operating voltage of the plurality of die regions, an activity level of the plurality of die regions, a timing margin of the plurality of die regions, and a number of detected faults of the plurality of die regions. The method and apparatus spreads wear among the plurality of same type of die regions by controlling task execution among the plurality of die regions using the die wear-out data.

Abstract: According to one embodiment, each time the number of program/erase cycles of a block increases by a first number of times, a controller of a memory system measures the number of error bits of data read from a plurality of memory cells connected to each of a plurality of word lines. The controller identifies a word line group including a word line corresponding to the number of error bits which is greater than a threshold. The controller selects, based on an average number of error bits of the identified word line group, a parameter set to be applied to the identified word line group from a plurality of parameter sets. The controller changes, to the selected parameter set, a parameter set defining a program operation for the identified word line group.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for managing trap-up in a memory system are described. A request to erase a block of a memory device may be received. Based on the request, a scan operation for determining whether a threshold voltage distribution for a dummy word line associated with the block satisfies one or more criteria may be performed. Based on the scan operation, whether to perform one or more program and erase cycles on the block using a first voltage level for a de-biasing operation of a program and erase (P/E) cycle may be determined. The first voltage level may be lower than a second voltage level for one or more prior de-biasing operations of one or more prior P/E cycles performed on the block. The block of memory may be managed based on whether the P/E cycling with the debiasing operation having the voltage level is performed.

Abstract: A controller for managing at least one MLC non-volatile memory space including at least one MLC non-volatile memory element and at least one SLC non-volatile memory space including at least one SLC non-volatile memory element. The controller is adapted to determine if a range of addresses listed by an entry and mapped to the at least one MLC non-volatile memory element fails a data integrity test performed at the controller based upon received data retained at the controller and which received data is stored in the at least one MLC memory element as stored data. In the event of such a failure, the controller remaps said entry to an the at least one SLC non-volatile memory element.

Abstract: A flash controller for managing at least one MLC non-volatile memory module and at least one SLC non-volatile memory module. The flash controller is adapted to determine if a range of addresses listed by an entry and mapped to said at least one MLC non-volatile memory module fails a data integrity test. In the event of such a failure, the controller remaps said entry to an equivalent range of addresses of said at least one SLC non-volatile memory module. The flash controller is further adapted to determine which of the blocks in the MLC and SLC non-volatile memory modules are accessed most frequently and allocating those blocks that receive frequent writes to the SLC non-volatile memory module and those blocks that receive infrequent writes to the MLC non-volatile memory module.

Abstract: In a method of reducing reliability degradation of a nonvolatile memory device, the nonvolatile memory device in which initial data having an initial threshold voltage distribution is stored in a plurality of memory cells connected to a plurality of wordlines is provided. Before a first process causing reliability degradation is performed, a first write operation is performed such that first data having a first threshold voltage distribution is stored into memory cells connected to first wordlines. The first wordlines have a degree of reliability degradation less than a reference value. Before the first process is performed, a second write operation is performed such that second data having a second threshold voltage distribution is stored into memory cells connected to second wordlines. The second wordlines have a degree of reliability degradation greater than or equal to the reference value.
