Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for data relocation operation techniques are described. A memory system may include blocks of memory cells, for example, within a non-volatile memory device of the memory system. The memory system may identify a command to perform a data relocation operation associated with a block of memory cells and may select between a first procedure and a second procedure for performing the data relocation operation. The memory system may select between the first procedure and the second procedure based on whether one or more parameters associated with the data relocation operation satisfy a threshold. For example, the memory system may select the first procedure if the one or more parameters satisfy the threshold and may select the second procedure if the one or more parameters do not satisfy the threshold. The memory system may perform the data relocation operation using the selected procedure.

The processing device further compares a level of the data state metric to a temporal voltage shift function to estimate a time after program value of the page and increments the value of the timer, restored from the non-volatile memory, based on the time after program value.

The memory system performs error detection operations using respective sets of parity bits for each of the units. Upon detecting an error, the memory system, for a write operation, re-requests data associated with error and regenerate the units to correct for the error, or, for a read operation, re-read data associated with the error and regenerate the units to correct for the error.
