  • Patent number: 11722151
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatuses include receiving a codeword stored in a memory device. Energy function values are determined for bits of the codeword based on soft information for the bits of the codeword. A bit of the codeword is flipped when the energy function values for a bit of the codeword satisfies a bit flipping criterion. A corrected codeword that results from the flipping of the bits is returned.

  • Patent number: 11714710
    Abstract: A first data stored at a first portion of a memory cell and a second data stored at a second portion of the memory cell are identified. A first error rate associated with first data stored at the first portion of the memory cell is determined. The first error rate is adjusted to exceed a second error rate associated with the second data stored at the second portion of the memory cell. A determination is made as to whether the first error rate exceeds a threshold. The second data stored at the second portion of the memory cell is provided for use in an error correction operation by a controller associated with the memory cell in response to determining that the first error rate exceeds the threshold.

  • Patent number: 11710527
    Abstract: A determination that a first programming operation has been performed on a particular memory cell can be made. A determination can be made, based on one or more threshold criteria, whether the particular memory cell has transitioned from a state associated with a decreased error rate to another state associated with an increased error rate. In response to determining that the particular memory cell has transitioned from the state associated with the decreased error rate to the another state associated with the increased error rate, an operation can be performed on the particular memory cell to transition the particular memory cell from the another state associated with the increased error rate to the state associated with the decreased error rate.

    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.

    Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed including a memory device and a processing device operatively coupled to the memory device. The processing device can perform operations including detecting a read error with respect to data residing in a block of the memory device, wherein the block is associated with a voltage offset bin, determining an ordered set of error-handling operations to be performed to the data, determining a most recently performed error-handling operation associated with the voltage offset bin; adjusting an order of the set of error-handling operations by positioning the most recently performed error-handling operation within a predetermined position in the order of the set of error-handling operations; and performing one or more error-handling operations of the set of error-handling operations in the adjusted order until data associated to the read error is recovered.

  • Patent number: 11711095
    Abstract: A memory device having a Low-Density Parity-Check (LDPC) decoder that is energy efficient and has a low error floor. The decoder is configured to determine syndromes of bits in a codeword, select bits in the codeword based at least in part on the syndromes according to a first mode, and flip the selected bits in the codeword. The decoder can repeat the bit selection and flipping operations to iteratively improve the codeword and reduce parity violations. Further, the decoder can detect a pattern in parity violations of the codeword in its iterative bit flipping operations. In response, the decoder can change from the first mode to a second mode in bit selection for flipping. For example, the decoder can transmit from a dynamic syndrome mode to a static syndrome mode in response to the pattern of repeating a cycle of bit flipping iterations.

  • Patent number: 11705925
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatuses include receiving a codeword stored in a memory device. The codeword is error corrected for a first number of iterations. The error correction includes traversing the codeword according to a first order. The codeword is error corrected for a second number of the iterations. The error correction of the codeword during a second iteration from the second number of iterations includes traversing the codeword according to a second order that is different from the first order.

  • Patent number: 11705192
    Abstract: A block family associated with a memory device is created. The block family is associated with a threshold voltage offset bin. A set of read level voltage offsets is determined such that, applying the set of read level voltage offsets to a base read level threshold voltage associated with the block family, result in a suboptimal error rate not exceeding a maximum allowable error rate. The determined set of read level offsets is associated with the threshold voltage offset bin by updating a block family metadata.

  • Patent number: 11705193
    Abstract: A method can include receiving a request to read data from a memory cell of a memory device coupled with the processing device, determining a voltage distribution parameter value associated with the memory cell, determining a set of read levels associated with the voltage distribution parameter value, wherein each read level in the determined set of read levels corresponds to a respective voltage distribution of the memory cell, and reading, using the determined set of read levels, data from the memory cell. The voltage distribution parameter value can be determined by identifying a particular voltage distribution of the memory cell by sampling the memory cell at a plurality of voltage levels, and determining the voltage distribution parameter value based on the particular voltage distribution. The voltage distribution parameter value can be a voltage value that is included in the particular voltage distribution.

  • Publication number: 20230195570
    Abstract: A memory device to use added known data as part of data written to memory cells with redundant data generated according to an error correction code (ECC). The code rate of the ECC may limit its capability to recover from excessive errors in the stored data. To reduce the errors, the added data retrieved from the memory cells can be corrected without using the ECC. Subsequently, remaining errors can be corrected via the ECC. Optionally, the added data can be configured to be the same as the data represented by an erased state of a subset of the memory cells such that when the subset is used to store the added data, the subset remains in the erased state to reduce wearing. Different subsets can be used to store added data for different write operations to distribute the benefit of reduced wearing.

  • Patent number: 11676666
    Abstract: A memory device to perform a read disturb scan of unprogrammed memory cells. In one approach, a test read is performed on unprogrammed memory cells in a first memory block of a storage media (e.g., NAND flash) to provide a test result. Based on the test result, a portion of the unprogrammed cells for which a threshold voltage is above a predetermined voltage is determined. A determination is made whether the portion of the unprogrammed memory cells exceeds a predetermined limit. In response to determining that the portion exceeds the predetermined limit, data is moved from the first memory block to a second memory block of the storage media.
