  • Publication number: 20230066863
    Abstract: A request is received to program host data to a memory device of a memory sub-system. The host data is associated with a logical address. A redundancy factor that corresponds to the logical address associated with the host data is obtained. A first physical address associated with a first set of cells of the memory device and a second physical address associated with a second set of cells of the memory device are determined based on the redundancy factor. The first set of memory cells is to store the host data and the second set of memory cells is to store redundancy metadata associated with the host data. The host data is programmed to the first set of memory cells. The redundancy metadata associated with the host data is programmed to the second set of memory cells.

  • Publication number: 20230063498
    Abstract: A plurality of memory device life metrics are determined, where one of the plurality of memory device life metrics comprises a read count metric that specifies a number of read operations performed on the memory device. A plurality of normalized metric values are calculated, where each of the normalized metric values is based on a ratio of a respective memory device life metric to a respective lifetime target value associated with the respective memory device life metric. A normalized metric value that satisfies a selection criterion is identified from the plurality of normalized metric values. The identified normalized metric value corresponds to an amount of used device life of the memory device. An amount of remaining device life of the memory device is determined based on the identified normalized metric value. An indication of the amount of remaining device life is provided to a host system.

  • Publication number: 20230067738
    Abstract: A request to program host data to a memory device of a memory sub-system is received. Redundancy metadata associated with the host data is generated. A determination is made, in view of the received request, whether the host data is valid data or invalid data. In response to a determination that the host data is invalid data, updated redundancy metadata associated with the host data is generated. The updated redundancy metadata indicates that the host data is invalid data. The host data and the updated redundancy metadata is programmed to the memory device.

  • Publication number: 20230069122
    Abstract: A logical-to-physical (L2P) data structure and a physical-to-logical (P2L) data structure are maintained. The L2P data structure comprises table entries that map a logical address to a physical address. The P2L data structure comprises data entries that map a physical address to a logical address. The P2L data entries also comprise a data move status, a base address, and a boundary indicator. A move operation is detected, wherein the move operation indicates that data referenced by a logical address is to be moved from a source physical address to a destination physical address. Responsive to detecting the move operation, the data move status associated with the source physical address in the P2L data structure is updated.

    Abstract: A method includes performing a memory operation to access memory cells of a memory sub-system. The method can further include determining, for the memory operation, a quantity of memory cells available to be accessed during the performance of the memory operation. The method can further include determining that a quantity of memory cells that are accessed during the performance of the memory operation comprises fewer than the quantity of memory cells available to be accessed. The method can further include incrementing a counter in response to the determination that the quantity of memory cells accessed is fewer than the quantity of memory cells available to be accessed.

  • Publication number: 20230017981
    Abstract: A request to read data at the memory device is received. A first read operation is performed to read the data at the memory device using a first read threshold voltage. The data read at the memory device using the first read threshold voltage is determined to be associated with a first unsuccessful correction of an error. Responsive to determining that the data read at the memory device using the first read threshold voltage is associated with the first unsuccessful correction of the error, a second read threshold voltage is stored at a register to replace a preread threshold voltage previously stored at the register that is associated with the memory device. The first preread threshold voltage was previously used to perform a preread operation at the memory device. A second read operation to read the data at the memory device is performed using the second read threshold voltage.

  • Publication number: 20220415430
    Abstract: An apparatus includes an error read flow component resident on a memory sub-system. The error read flow component can cause performance of a plurality of read recovery operations on a group of memory cells that are programmed or read together, or both. The error read flow component can determine whether a particular read recovery operation invoking the group of memory cells was successful. The error read flow component can further cause a counter corresponding to each of the plurality of read recovery operations to be incremented in response to a determination that the particular read recovery operation invoking the group of memory cells was successful.
