Patent number: 11669451Abstract: A method includes transferring data out of a first buffer coupled to a first plane of a plurality of planes of a memory component, where the data was previously transferred from the first plane to the first buffer responsive to an access request to sense data stored in the plurality of planes of the memory component. The method further includes transferring, subsequent to transferring the data out of the first buffer and independently of a command from a processing device, data out of a second buffer coupled to a second plane of the plurality of planes of the memory component, where the data transferred out of the second buffer was previously transferred from the second plane to the second buffer responsive to the access request.Type: GrantFiled: September 1, 2021Date of Patent: June 6, 2023Assignee: Micron Technology, Inc.Inventors: Ryan G. Fisher, Cory M. Steinmetz

Patent number: 11644979Abstract: A processing device in a memory system assigns a memory page to a sensitivity tier of a plurality of sensitivity tiers. The processing device determines respective scan intervals for the plurality of sensitivity tiers, wherein the respective scan intervals are based on at least one characteristic of a memory device, the at least one characteristic comprising memory cell margins of the memory device. The processing device scans a subset of a plurality of memory pages, wherein the subset comprises a number of memory pages from each sensitivity tier identified according to the respective scan intervals.Type: GrantFiled: April 7, 2022Date of Patent: May 9, 2023Assignee: Micron Technology, Inc.Inventors: Kishore Kumar Muchherla, Gary F. Besinga, Cory M. Steinmetz, Pushpa Seetamraju, Jiangang Wu, Sampath K. Ratnam, Peter Feeley

Publication number: 20220342609Abstract: A method can include receiving a read request from a host system, determining, by a processing device, a size of data to retrieve that corresponds to an operation on a memory system, such that the size of the data is based on a die-level transfer size determined from a specification of a die of the memory system, and providing an indication for the memory system to retrieve the data at the determined size.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 11, 2022Publication date: October 27, 2022Inventor: Cory M. Steinmetz

Patent number: 11385836Abstract: A read request from a host system can be received. It can be detected that the read request is associated with a pattern of read requests. A requested transfer size associated with the read request can be identified. A size of data to retrieve can be determined. The size of the data can be based on the requested transfer size and a die-level transfer size associated with a die of a memory system.Type: GrantFiled: September 10, 2020Date of Patent: July 12, 2022Assignee: Micron Technology, Inc.Inventor: Cory M. Steinmetz

Patent number: 11301143Abstract: A processing device in a memory system determines sensitivity value of a memory page in the memory system. The processing device assigns the memory page to a sensitivity tier of a plurality of sensitivity tiers based on a corresponding sensitivity value, wherein each sensitivity tier has a corresponding range of sensitivity values. The processing device further determines a targeted scan interval for each sensitivity tier of the plurality of sensitivity tiers and scans a subset of a plurality of memory pages in the memory component, wherein the subset comprises a number of memory pages from each sensitivity tier determined according to the corresponding targeted scan interval of each sensitivity tier.Type: GrantFiled: June 5, 2019Date of Patent: April 12, 2022Assignee: Micron Technology, Inc.Inventors: Kishore Kumar Muchherla, Gary F. Besinga, Cory M. Steinmetz, Pushpa Seetamraju, Jiangang Wu, Sampath K. Ratnam, Peter Feeley

Publication number: 20220050772Abstract: Incoming host data is programmed to a first set of data blocks indicated by a first cursor of a memory sub-system. The first set of blocks is associated with a first write mode. A determination is made that a second set of blocks associated with a second write mode is available to store the incoming host data prior to closing one or more of the first set of blocks. The incoming host data is programmed to the second set of blocks in view of a second cursor of the memory sub-system. A media management operation is performed to close the one or more of the first set of blocks.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 27, 2021Publication date: February 17, 2022Inventors: Kishore Kumar Muchherla, Peter Feeley, Sampath K. Ratnam, Kevin R. Brandt, Cory M. Steinmetz

Patent number: 11188459Abstract: Host data can be written to a first portion of a memory sub-system in a first write mode. An indication can be received that a data block of a second portion of the memory sub-system is available to be written to in a second write mode. In response to receiving the indication, it is determined to write a second portion of the host data to the data block of the second portion. In response to determining to write the second portion of the host data to the data block of the second portion, the second portion of the host data is written to the second available data block in the second write mode prior to closing the first available data block in the first write mode.Type: GrantFiled: December 23, 2019Date of Patent: November 30, 2021Assignee: Micron Technology, Inc.Inventors: Kishore Kumar Muchherla, Peter Feeley, Sampath K. Ratnam, Kevin R. Brandt, Cory M. Steinmetz
