  • Patent number: 11817145
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for programming multi-level memory cells are described. After a first pass, an offset in the form of one or more offset pulses, may be applied to MLCs that are in a state of a higher level. The offset may be applied before or during a first part of a second pass. The offset may move the signals of the cells before the cells are finally programmed so as to avoid potential overlaps between the unprogrammed cells and cells that are programmed to the lower half of the final levels during the second pass. The offset cells may then be further moved to the other levels in the higher half of the final levels.
    Type: Grant

  • Publication number: 20210342100
    Abstract: Devices and techniques for NAND temperature-aware operations are disclosed herein. A device controller can receive a command to write data to a component in the device. A temperature corresponding to the component can be obtained in response to receiving the command. The command can be executed by the controller to write data to the component. Executing the command can include writing the temperature into a management portion of the device that is separate from a user portion of the device to which the data is written.
