Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for erasure decoding for a memory device are described. In accordance with the described techniques, a memory device may be configured to identify conditions associated with an erasure, a possible erasure, or an otherwise indeterminate logic state (e.g., of a memory cell, of an information position of a codeword). Such an identification may be used to enhance aspects of error handling operations, including those that may be performed at the memory device or a host device (e.g., error handling operations performed at a memory controller external to the memory device). For example, error handling operations may be performed using speculative codewords, where information positions associated with an indeterminate or unassigned logic state are assigned with a respective assumed logic state, which may extend a capability of error detection or error correction compared to handling errors with unknown positions.

Abstract: Systems, methods, and apparatus related to memory devices such as solid state drives. In one approach, data is received from a host system (e.g., data to be written to an SSD). The received data is encoded using a first error correction code to generate first parity data. A temperature at which memory cells of a storage device (e.g., the SSD) will store the received data is determined. In response to determining the temperature, a first portion of the received data is identified (e.g., data in memory storage that is error-prone at a predicted higher temperature that has been determined based on output from an artificial neural network using sensor(s) input). The identified first portion is encoded using a second error correction code to generate second parity data. The second error correction code has a higher error correction capability than the first error correction code. The encoded first portion, the first parity data, and the second parity data are stored in the memory cells of the storage device.
