Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure are directed to performing varying frequency memory sub-system background scans using either or both a timer and an I/O event limit. This can be accomplished by identifying a background scan trigger event from one of multiple possible types of background scan trigger events, such as a timer expiration or reaching an event count limit. In response to the background scan trigger event, a background scan can be initiated on a memory portion. The background scan can produce results, such as CDF-based data. When a metric based on the results exceeds a background scan limit, a refresh relocation can be performed and logged. A metric can be generated based on the CDF-based data, obtained error recovery depth data, or refresh relocation event data. When the metric is above or below corresponding background scan thresholds, a background scan frequency can be adjusted.

Abstract: A data structure is generated that identifies a shape of a valley that is located between programming distributions of the memory component. The data structure identifies read level thresholds at the valley associated with a logical page type of the memory component. For each of the read level thresholds the data structure associates a respective error count. A read level threshold is estimated using the data structure. A read operation is performed at the memory component using the read level threshold identified using the data structure.

Abstract: Center error counts are determined for logical page types of the memory component. A first center error count is indicative of a number of bit errors for a first logical page type. A second center error count is indicative of a number of bit errors for a second logical page type. A modified page margin is determined based on a current page margin corresponding to the first logical page type. The current page margin corresponds to the first logical page type and is indicative of a ratio of the first center error count to the second center error count. The modified page margin is indicative of a modified ratio of a modified first center error count to the second center error count. The current page margin is adjusted corresponding to the first logical page type in accordance with the modified page margin.

Abstract: A memory system is disclosed, including a memory component and a processing device configured to decode one or more codewords saved to a memory region of the memory component, detect that a number of bit errors corresponding to the decoding of the codeword exceeds a correction capability of the processing device, and execute an error recovery routine to reduce the number of detected bit errors to within the correction capability. The error recovery routine can include error recovery operations that are sequentially executed either until the number of bit errors is successfully reduced to within the correction capability or until a set of the error recovery operations has been executed. The error recovery operations can be ordered according to one or more factors, including energy used to execute a respective error recovery operation, a duration of the respective operation, and/or a likelihood of success of the respective operation.

Abstract: A memory profiling system can generate profiles for target memory units of a memory component during runtime of the memory component. The memory profiling system can identify target memory units based on trigger conditions such as memory units crossing a specified depth in error recovery, receipt of a vendor specific (VS) command, memory unit retirement, or excessive background scan rates. In some cases, the memory profiling system can identify additional target memory units that are related to identified target memory units. The characterization processes can include computing voltage threshold (vt) distributions, Auto Read Calibration (ARC) analysis, Continuous Read Level Calibration (cRLC) analysis, DiffEC metrics, or gathering memory component metrics. The memory profiling system can store the generated profiles and can utilize the generated profiles to adjust operating parameters of one or more memory elements of the memory device, in real time.

Abstract: The present disclosure is directed to read level edge find operations in a memory sub-system. A processing device receives a request to locate a first distribution edge at a target bit error rate (BER) of a first programming distribution. The processing device measures a first BER sample of the first programming distribution using a first offset value that is offset from a first center value corresponding to a first read level threshold and a second BER sample using a second offset value that is offset from the first offset value. The processing device determines that the second BER sample exceeds the target BER and the first BER sample does not exceed the target BER. The processing device determines a first location of the first distribution edge by interpolating between the first BER sample and the second BER sample.

Abstract: A memory quality engine can improve the operation of a memory system by setting more effective operating parameters, disabling or removing memory devices unable to meet performance requirements, and providing evaluations between memory populations. These improvements can be accomplished by converting quality measurements of a memory population into CDF-based data, formulating comparisons of the CDF-based data to metrics for quality analysis, and applying the quality analysis. In some implementations, the metrics for quality analysis can use one or more thresholds, such as a system health threshold. Formulating the comparison to these metrics can include determining an area between a baseline frequency and a curve specified by the CDF-based data. In some implementations, this area can further be defined by a lowest frequency bound and/or can be compared as a ratio to an area of a rectangle that contains the CDF curve.

The updating of the at least one processing level is based on information for the at least one processing level that is stored in a data-structure.
