  • Publication number: 20250103206
    Abstract: In some implementations, a memory device may receive a command to read data in a first format from non-volatile memory, the data being stored in a second format in the non-volatile memory, the second format comprising a plurality of copies of the data in the first format. The memory device may compare, using an error correction circuit, the plurality of copies of the data to determine a dominant bit state for bits of the data. The memory device may store the dominant bit state for bits of the data in the non-volatile memory as error-corrected data in the first format. The memory device may cause the error-corrected data to be read from the non-volatile memory in the first format as a response to the command to read the data in the first format.

  • Publication number: 20240241643
    Abstract: Control logic on a memory die of a multi-die memory sub-system receives, from a memory sub-system controller, a data burst command indicating an upcoming data burst event and determines an expected current utilization in the memory sub-system during the data burst event. The control logic further determines whether the expected current utilization in the memory sub-system during the data burst event satisfies a threshold criterion and responsive to determining that the expected current utilization in the memory sub-system during the data burst event does not satisfy the threshold criterion, pauses one or more operations being executed by the control logic on the memory die until the expected current utilization in the memory sub-system during the data burst event satisfies the threshold criterion.

  • Patent number: 12026052
    Abstract: A memory component comprises a cyclic buffer partition portion and a snapshot partition portion. In response to receiving a signal that a trigger event has occurred, a processing device included in the memory component performs an error correction operation on a portion of data stored in the cyclic buffer partition portion, copies the data stored in the cyclic buffer partition portion to the snapshot partition portion in response to the error correction operation being successful, and sends the data stored in the cyclic buffer partition portion to a processing device operatively coupled to the memory component in response to the error correction operation not being successful.
