  • Patent number: 11829245
    Abstract: Systems, methods, and apparatus related to a multi-level error correction architecture used for copying data in memory devices. In one approach, user data is stored in the first partition of a non-volatile memory. First error correction code data is generated for the user data and stored with the user data in the first partition. Second error correction code data is generated for the user data and stored outside the first partition. The second error correction code data provides an increased error correcting capability that is compatible with the error correction algorithm used with the first error correction code data. A copyback operation is used to copy the user data and the first error correction code, but not the second error correction code, to a second partition of the non-volatile memory. The second error correction code can be selectively used if there is a need to recover portions of the user data stored in the first partition.

  • Patent number: 11823748
    Abstract: A voltage shift for memory cells of a block family at a memory device is measured. The block family is associated with a first voltage offset. An adjusted amount of voltage shift is determined for the memory cells based on the measured voltage shift and a temporary voltage shift offset associated with a difference between a current temperature and a prior temperature for the memory device. The block family is associated with a second voltage offset in view of the adjusted voltage shift.

  • Patent number: 11797205
    Abstract: A processing device in a memory sub-system detects an occurrence of a triggering event, determines respective levels of charge loss associated with a first representative wordline of a block of a memory device and with a second representative wordline of the block of the memory device, and determines whether a difference between the respective levels of charge loss satisfies a threshold criterion. Responsive to determining that the difference between the respective levels of charge loss satisfies the threshold criterion, the processing device further determines that the block is in a uniform charge loss state.

  • Patent number: 11783901
    Abstract: A system includes a memory device and a processing device. The processing device performs, at a first frequency, a first scan of a page of a block family that measures a first data state metric and identifies a specific bin corresponding to a measured value for the first data state metric. Processing device updates a bin, to which the page is assigned, to match the specific bin. Processing device performs, at a second frequency higher than the first frequency, a second scan of the page to measure a second data state metric for read operations performed using a threshold voltage offset value from each of multiple bins. Processing device updates the bin, to which the page is assigned for the specified die, to match a second bin having the threshold voltage offset value that yields a lowest read bit error rate from the second scan.

  • Publication number: 20230315570
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus for error correction with syndrome computation in a memory device are described. A first syndrome for first encoded data is generated in a memory device. The first syndrome and the first encoded data are transmitted to a controller that is coupled with the memory device. A second syndrome for first and second encoded data is generated. The first encoded data and the second encoded data are interrelated according to an error correction code. The second syndrome is transmitted to the controller without the second encoded data and the controller is to decode the first encoded data based on at least one of the first syndrome, the second syndrome, or a combination thereof.

  • Publication number: 20230317195
    Abstract: An apparatus having memory cells, an error correction module with a predetermined code rate, a processing device configured to arrange data storage in the memory cells for improved capability in recovering from random bit errors in raw data retrieved from the memory cells. For example, user data and redundant data are stored in the memory cells. The redundant data is generated according to the predetermined code rate from not only the user data but also known data. The known data is not stored in the memory cells. As a result, the error correction module has increased capability in recovering from random bit errors in raw data retrieved from the memory cells. The increased capability can be used to extend the useful life of the memory cells and/or improve the reliability of retrieving error free data from the memory cells.

  • Publication number: 20230267968
    Abstract: A processing device in a memory sub-system monitors a temperature associated with a block of a memory device, the block comprising a plurality of wordlines. The processing device further determines a first amount of time between when memory cells associated with a first wordline of the plurality of wordlines of the block were written and when memory cells associated with a last wordline of the plurality of wordlines of the block were written. That first amount of time is normalized according to the temperature associated with the block. The processing device further determines, based at last in part on the first amount of time and on an associated scaling factor, an estimate of when the block will reach a uniform charge loss state.
