  • Patent number: 11567682
    Abstract: Techniques disclosed herein can be used to improve cross-temperature coverage of memory devices and improve memory device reliability in cross-temperature conditions. More specifically, a memory trim set can be selected from multiple candidate memory trim sets when performing a memory operation (such as a memory write operation), based on a temperature metric and a P/E cycle metric for the memory device. The candidate memory trim sets include multiple respective memory trim values (e.g., memory configuration parameters, such as program voltage step size, program pulse width, program verify level, etc., as discussed above) for performing the memory operation. The temperature metric can be indicative of a temperature of at least a region of the memory device (e.g., the entire device, a memory plane, a memory block, etc.), and the P/E cycle metric can be indicative of a number of P/E cycles performed by the memory device within a selected time interval.

  • Patent number: 11488670
    Abstract: Devices and techniques temperature sensitive NAND programming are disclosed herein. A device controller can receive a command to write data to a component of the device. A temperature can be obtained in response to the command, and the temperature can be combined with a temperature compensation value to calculate a verification level. The command can then be executed in accordance with the verification level.

  • Patent number: 11417405
    Abstract: A variety of applications can include systems and/or methods of optimizing results from scanning a memory device, where the memory device has stacked multiple reliability specifications. Information about a block of multiple blocks of a memory device can be logged, where the information is associated with a combination of reliability specifications. A refresh of the block can be triggered based on exceeding a threshold condition for the combination of reliability specifications.
