  • Block behavior tracking in a memory system
    Patent number: 9547571
    Abstract: A storage device with a memory may include memory block health monitoring and behavior tracking. Each memory block may be analyzed based on one or more dummy wordlines within the block may not be accessible for normal data storage. The dummy wordlines may be programmed with a known data pattern that can be tracked and analyzed for potential errors, which may be used as representation of the health of the memory block. Adjustments can be made to the operating parameters (e.g. read voltages) to optimize each memory block based on its error analysis.
    Type: Grant
