Publication number: 20240419523Abstract: In some implementations, a memory device may cache a subset of one or more block family error avoidance (BFEA) lookup tables associated with a block family associated with host data in a first memory location. The block family may be based on at least one of a time window during which the host data was written or a temperature window at which the host data was written. The memory device may receive a read command associated with host data and determine, based on the block family and the subset of the one or more BFEA tables, a threshold voltage offset associated with the host data. The memory device may compute a modified threshold voltage by applying the threshold voltage offset to a base read level voltage associated with the host data. The memory device may read, using the modified threshold voltage, the host data from the first memory location.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 30, 2024Publication date: December 19, 2024Inventors: Shakeel Isamohiuddin BUKHARI, Mark ISH

Publication number: 20240377991Abstract: After receiving a command from a host system to store data, a memory sub-system queues the command to allocate pages of memory cells in a plurality of dies based on a determination that each of the plurality of dies is available to perform a data programming operation for the command. Based on the page application, the memory sub-system generates a portion of a media layout to at least map logical addresses of the data identified in the command to the allocated pages and receives the data from the host system. The memory sub-system stores the data into the pages using a multi-pass programming technique, where an atomic multi-pass programming operation can be configured to use at least two pages in separate planes in one or more dies in the plurality of integrated circuit dies to program at least a portion of the data.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 25, 2024Publication date: November 14, 2024Inventors: Sanjay Subbarao, Steven S.
