Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for compression and decompression of trim data are described. A memory system may store one or more trim settings to a volatile memory in a compressed manner, and may expand (e.g., decompress) the data as part of a write operation to a non-volatile memory (e.g., during a start-up procedure). For example, compressed (e.g., non-expanded) data including trim settings may be stored to a volatile memory, and a portion of the array of volatile memory cells may be temporarily allocated to expand the data (e.g., copy the data, invert the data, copy the inverted data). Once the data is expanded, it may be stored in the non-volatile memory, and the temporarily allocated portion of the array of volatile memory cells may be reallocated (e.g., allocated for another purpose). The expanded data may include multiple copies and inverted copies of the trim settings.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for caching for a multiple-level memory device are described. First data may be received for writing to a memory device that include multiple-level cells that are programmable using multiple programming modes. Based on receiving the first data, the first data may be written to first multiple-level cells using a first programming mode. Based on writing the first data to the first multiple-level cells, the first data may be transferred from the first multiple-level cells to second multiple-level cells using a third programming mode. Later, second data writing to the memory device may be received. Based on receiving the second data, a determination of whether to write the second data to third multiple-level cells using the first programming mode or a second programming mode may be made based on available multiple-level cells that are ready for programming.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for dual address encoding for logical-to-physical mapping are described. A memory device may identify a first physical address corresponding to a first logical block address generated by a host device and a second physical address corresponding to a second (consecutive) logical block address generated by a host device. The memory device may store the first physical address and second physical address in a single entry of a logical-to-physical mapping table that corresponds to the first logical block address. The memory device may transmit the logical-to-physical table to the host device for storage at the host device. The host device may subsequently transmit a single read command to the memory device that includes the first physical address and the second physical address based on the logical-to-physical table.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for power control for boot-up of memory systems are described. A memory system may be configured to boot-up using two different power modes: a lower-power mode, and a higher-power mode. The memory system may perform a series of evaluations to determine whether the memory system is to switch to the lower-power mode during boot-up operations, or stay in the higher-power mode. For example, the memory system may check one or more of: a history of previous boot-up failures, a voltage of an associated power management integrated circuit, a history of asynchronous power loss at the device, a power-mode configuration of the host device, or a history of host-initiated power-down commands. In some examples, by switching to the lower-power mode, the memory system may avoid repeatedly failing multiple boot-up cycles and may instead successfully boot-up the memory system.

Workload estimation can include predicting a duration of a subsequent power down event of the memory device. A quantity of maintenance operations to be performed on the memory device, may be predicted based on the predicted duration of the subsequent power down event, when the memory device is powered on after the subsequent power down event using an artificial neural network. The quantity of maintenance operations may be performed on the memory device prior to the subsequent power down event of the memory device.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for suspend operation with data transfer to a host system are described. A host system may transmit a read command to a memory system operating in a first mode of operation (e.g., a standard mode associated with a nominal power consumption) indicating for the memory system to transition to a second mode of operation (e.g., a suspend mode associated with a decreased power consumption). Here, the memory system may transmit an image of the memory system stored in volatile memory to the host system and transition the memory system to the second mode. Additionally, the host system may transmit, to the memory system operating in the second mode, a write command including the image and indicating for the memory system to transition to the first mode. Here, the memory system may write the image to the volatile memory and transition to the first mode.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for storing parity during refresh operations are described. In some examples, refresh operations may be performed on a memory device when the memory device is idle. For example, a refresh operation may entail performing a logical operation on first data and a first set of parity bits and second data and a second set of parity bits. The logical operation may generate a third set of parity bits which may be used for data retention purposes. Moreover, during a read operation, the third set of parity bits may be used to recover corrupt or otherwise invalid data in the event of an error.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for memory write performance techniques are described. A memory system may receive a sequence of commands, for example from a host system. Based on a relationship between logical block addresses of the sequence of commands, the memory system may delay performing a memory management operation (e.g., a garbage collection procedure, a power operation, a cache synchronization operation, a data relocation operation, or the like) for a duration. For example, the memory system may determine whether a quantity of write commands in the sequence that include non-consecutive logical block addresses exceeds a threshold. In some cases, the memory system may perform one or more commands in the sequence during the duration. Subsequently (e.g., at the end of the duration), the memory system may perform the memory management operation.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for techniques for a fragment cursor are described. A memory system may receive one or more write commands, each write command corresponding to a data fragment. The memory device may store the data fragments to a cursor (e.g., a fragment cursor) in a cache upon receiving the write commands, the cursor configured to store data fragments with a size less than a fragment size threshold (e.g., a page). The memory system may detect a memory management operation (e.g., power down, cache synchronization, data relocation, etc.) and write the cached data fragments to a block of memory cells of a memory device using the cursor. In some examples, the cursor may have a different associated mapping unit than other cursors of the memory system.

The PPM operations include receiving a request to perform an operation, determining whether to initiate a PPM priority override procedure, and in response to determining to initiate the PPM priority override procedure, performing the PPM priority override procedure to execute the operation. Performing the PPM priority override procedure includes reconfiguring each high current breakpoints as a respective low current breakpoint to execute the operation.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for host-configurable error protection are described. A host system may receive an indication of a set of logical addresses supported by the memory system and available for use by the host system. The host system may divide the set of logical addresses into subsets of logical addresses. Each subset of logical addresses may be associated with a different type of data. The host system may determine an error protection configuration for a subset of logical addresses based at least in part on the type of data associated with the subset of logical addresses. The host system may then send to the memory system an indication of the subset of logical addresses and an indication of the error protection configuration for the subset of logical addresses.
