Abstract: A processing device detects a read operation at a memory device that is directed at a word line group from among multiple word line groups of the memory device. The processing device increments a read counter associated with the word line group based on the read operation being directed at the word line group. The processing device determines the read counter exceeds a read-disturb threshold and performs read-disturb handling on the word line group in response to determining the read counter exceeds the read-disturb threshold.

Abstract: A method includes associating each block of a plurality of blocks of a memory device with a corresponding frequency access group of a plurality of frequency access groups based on corresponding access frequencies, and performing scan operations on blocks of each of the plurality of frequency access groups using a scan frequency that is different from scan frequencies of other frequency access groups. A scan operation performed on a frequency access group with a higher access frequency uses a higher scan frequency than a scan operation performed on a frequency access group with a lower access frequency.

Abstract: A system includes a memory device and a processing device, operatively coupled with the memory device, to perform operations including receiving a set of read offsets for a block of the memory device, the set of read offsets comprising a default read offset, selecting the default read offset from the set of read offsets based on one or more criteria, applying the default read offset to a read operation performed with respect to the block, determining that a second set of criteria associated with removing the default read offset is satisfied, and removing the default read offset responsive to determining that the second set of criteria is satisfied.

Abstract: Disclosed in some examples, are methods, systems, and machine readable mediums which compensate for read-disturb effects by shifting the read voltages used to read the value in a NAND cell based upon a read counter. For example, the NAND memory device may have a read counter that corresponds to a group of NAND cells (e.g., a page, a block, a superblock). Anytime a NAND cell in the group is read, the read counter may be incremented. The read voltage, Vread, may be adjusted based on the read counter to account for the read disturb voltage.

The system determines that a first predetermined time period has elapsed since a last scan operation performed with respect to one or more blocks of the memory device, where the first predetermined time period specifies a first scan frequency. The system selects, based on the metadata, at least one block from a first frequency access group associated with the first scan frequency. The system performs a scan operation with respect to the selected block.

Abstract: An amount of threshold voltage distribution shift is determined. The threshold voltage distribution shift corresponds to an amount of time after programming of a reference page of a block of a memory device. A program-verify voltage is adjusted based on the amount of threshold voltage distribution shift to obtain an adjusted program-verify voltage. Using the adjusted program-verify voltage, a temporally subsequent page of the block is programmed at a time corresponding to the amount of time after the programming of the reference page.

Abstract: Devices and techniques for initiating and controlling preemptive idle time read scans in a flash based storage system are disclosed. In an example, a memory device includes a NAND memory array and a memory controller to schedule and initiate read scans among multiple locations of the memory array, with such read scans being preemptively triggered during an idle (background) state of the memory device, thus reducing host latency during read and write operations in an active (foreground) state of the memory device. In an example, the optimization technique includes scheduling a read scan operation, monitoring an active or idle state of host IO operations, and preemptively initiating the read scan operation when entering an idle state, before the read scan operation is scheduled to occur. In further examples, the read scan may preemptively occur based on time-based scheduling, frequency-based conditions, or event-driven conditions triggering the read scan.
