  • Memory device with enhanced data reliability capabilities
    Patent number: 11966600
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for memory device with enhanced data reliability capabilities are described. For a write operation, a memory device may receive a write command from a host device indicating a first set of data. The memory device may determine to operate in first mode of operation associated with a reliability above a threshold and generate a second set of data to store with the first set of data based on operating in the first mode of operation. For a read operation, the memory device may identify that a read command received from a host device is associated with the first mode of operation. Based on operating in the first mode of operation, the memory device may select one or more reference thresholds (e.g., a subset of reference thresholds) to retrieve the first set of data and transmit the first set of data to the host device.

  • Enhanced data reliability in multi-level memory cells
    Patent number: 11960398
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for enhanced data reliability in multi-level memory cells are described. For a write operation, a host device may identify a first set of data to be stored by a set of memory cells at a memory device. Based on a quantity of bits within the first set of data being less than a storage capacity of the set of memory cells, the host device may generate a second set of data and transmit a write command including the first and second sets of data to the memory device. For a read operation, the host device may receive a first set of data from the memory device in response to transmitting a read command. The memory device may extract a second set of data from the first set of data and validate a portion of the first set of data using the second set of data.
