Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for memory block utilization in memory systems are described. A system configured to allow a memory device to group or segment a memory block into two or more sub-memory blocks, which can be independently programmed is described herein. For example, a host system may determine a configuration of a memory array, and communicate the configuration information to the memory system, and transmit a command for an operation to the memory system. In some examples, the memory system may utilize the memory array configuration information and determine to segment the blocks of memory cells into sub-blocks. By segmenting the memory block into sub-blocks, the memory device may maintain its memory block density while supporting efficient programming of blocks of the memory array.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for critical data management within a memory system are described. A memory system may avoid writing critical data to weak word lines. For example, as part of a media management operation or a host write operation (among other examples), the memory system may determine which data is critical data and may determine which word lines are weak word lines, which may refer to word lines having bit error rates that satisfy a threshold. The memory system may refrain from writing critical data to memory cells coupled with weak word lines, and may instead write non-critical or dummy data to the weak word lines. The memory system may reserve the writing of critical data to memory cells coupled with non-weak word lines, which may refer to word lines having bit error rates that fail to satisfy the threshold.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for efficient read disturb scanning are described. A memory system may limit a quantity of word lines scanned as part of a read disturb scan. For example, the memory system may select a threshold quantity of word lines of a block for the read disturb scan based on a characterization of the word lines, such as selecting one or more word lines having higher bit error rates than other word lines of the block. The memory system may perform the read disturb scan on the selected one or more word lines to determine respective failure bit counts of the selected word lines and exclude unselected word lines of the block from the read disturb scan. The memory system may determine whether to perform a refresh operation on the block based on whether a respective failure bit count satisfies a threshold failure bit count.

A memory system may store a table that includes mappings between a set of logical block addresses and a set of physical block addresses. The table may be stored to volatile memory of the memory system and each entry may include a subset of physical block addresses and one or more logical block addresses that correspond to the subset of physical block addresses. In some implementations, a quantity of the entries that each include the subset of physical block addresses and the one or more logical block addresses may be determined based on dividing the set of physical block addresses by a factor. Similarly, a size of the entries may be determined based on dividing the set of physical block addresses by the factor.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for memory page type indications for data integrity evaluations are described. A memory system may verify a page type corresponding to read data. For example, the memory system may store an indication of a page type corresponding to data written to memory cells as one or more bits of the data. During a read operation, the memory system may compare the stored indication of the page type to a second indication of a page type for data intended to be read. For example, the first indication read from the memory cells may correspond to a first page type, and the second indication (e.g., from an address mapping table, from metadata) may indicate a second page type. If the first and second indications are different, the memory system may refrain from outputting the data and may instead indicate an error or perform a second read operation.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for cache techniques for memory system read commands are described. A memory device of a memory system may reduce latency associated with cache access operations based on receiving a multi-plane command from the memory system. For example, the memory system may transmit an access command that indicates (e.g., using one or more bits, via a prefix associated with the command) that an access operation is for a multi-plane read of the memory device. The memory device may transfer data from a first cache of the memory device to a second cache of the memory device prior to receiving each address indication for the access operation. As such, the memory device may concurrently perform the transfer of the data with the receiving of at least one address indication, thereby reducing latency associated with the access operation and response times of the memory system.
