  • Patent number: 11797216
    Abstract: A signal associated with performance of a memory operation can be applied to a memory cell of a first group of memory cells that have undergone PECs within a first range. The signal can have a first magnitude corresponding to a second range of PECs. Whether differences between a first target voltage and the signal and between a second target voltage and the applied signal are at least the threshold value can be determined. Responsive to determining that the differences are at least the threshold value, the first group of memory cells can be associated with a first calibration cluster and the signal having a second magnitude corresponding to a third range of PECs can be applied to a memory cell of a second group of memory cells that have undergone respective quantities of PECs within the second range.

  • Patent number: 11782627
    Abstract: A processing device in a memory system receives a first read request from a host system, wherein the first read request is directed to first data stored at a first address in a block of the memory component. The processing device determines that the first address is located within a first region of the block and increments a read counter for the block by a default amount. The processing device further receives a second read request from the host system, wherein the second read request is directed to second data stored at a second address in a block of the memory component, determines that the second address is located within a second region of the block and increments the read counter for the block by a scaled amount.

  • Publication number: 20230297511
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for full multi-plane operation enablement are described. A flash controller can determine that a first plane of a set of planes of a memory die is an invalid plane. The flash controller can issue a single descriptor associated with a multi-plane operation for the set of planes of the memory die. The single descriptor can include a plurality of commands for the multi-plane operation in which the first command of the plurality of commands can be a duplicate of a second command of the plurality of commands based on the first plane being the invalid plane. In some cases, a negative-and (NAND) controller can receive the single descriptor associated with the multi-plane operation for the set of planes of a memory die. The NAND controller can issue a plurality of commands for the multi-plane operation based on receiving the single descriptor.

  • Patent number: 11726867
    Abstract: A variety of applications can include use of parity groups in a memory system with the parity groups arranged for data protection of the memory system. Each parity group can be structured with multiple data pages in which to write data and a parity page in which to write parity data generated from the data written in the multiple data pages. Each data page of a parity group can have storage capacity to include metadata of data written to the data page. Information can be added to the metadata of a data page with the information identifying an asynchronous power loss status of data pages that precede the data page in an order of writing data to the data pages of the parity group. The information can be used in re-construction of data in the parity group following an uncorrectable error correction code error in writing to the parity group.
