Abstract: A method includes writing received data sequentially to a particular location of a cyclic buffer of a memory device according to a first set of threshold voltage distributions. The method further includes performing a touch up operation on the particular location by adjusting the first set of threshold voltage distributions of the data to a second set of threshold voltage distributions in response to a determination that a trigger event has occurred. The second set of threshold voltage distributions can have a larger read window between adjacent threshold voltage distributions of the second set than that of the first set of threshold voltage distributions.

Abstract: A signal associated with performance of a memory operation can be applied to a memory cell of a first group of memory cells that have undergone PECs within a first range. The signal can have a first magnitude corresponding to a second range of PECs. Whether differences between a first target voltage and the signal and between a second target voltage and the applied signal are at least the threshold value can be determined. Responsive to determining that the differences are at least the threshold value, the first group of memory cells can be associated with a first calibration cluster and the signal having a second magnitude corresponding to a third range of PECs can be applied to a memory cell of a second group of memory cells that have undergone respective quantities of PECs within the second range.

Abstract: Over time, the number of write cycles required to successfully program a multi-level cell (MLC) is reduced. Since a hard-coded value does not change over the lifetime of the device, the device may perform too many verify steps at one stage of the device lifetime and wait too long to begin verification at another stage of the device lifetime, reducing performance of the device. As discussed herein, verification for higher voltage level programming is delayed until verification for lower voltage level programming reaches at least a threshold level of success instead of using a hard-coded number of verify steps to skip. As a result, the performance drawbacks associated with skipping a hard-coded number of verify cycles may not occur.
