  • Patent number: 11562793
    Abstract: A memory sub-system configured to read soft bit data by adjusting the read voltage applied to read hard bit data from memory cells. For example, in response to a read command identifying a group of memory cells, a memory device is to: read the group of memory cells using a first voltage to generate hard bit data indicating statuses of the memory cells subjected to the first voltage; change (e.g., through boosted modulation) the first voltage, currently being applied to the group of memory cells, to a second voltage and then to a third voltage; reading the group of memory cells at the second voltage and at the third voltage to generate soft bit data (e.g., via an exclusive or (XOR) of the results of reading the group of memory cells at the second voltage and at the third voltage).

    Abstract: A memory device to determine a voltage optimized to read a group of memory cells by reading the group of memory cells at a plurality of test voltages, computing bit counts at the test voltages respectively, and computing count differences in the bit counts for pairs of adjacent voltages in the test voltages. When a smallest one in the count differences is found at a side of a distribution of the count differences according to voltage, the memory device is configured to determine a location of an optimized read voltage, based on a ratio between a first count difference and a second count difference, where the first count difference is the smallest in the count differences, and the second count difference is closest in voltage to the first count difference.

  • Publication number: 20230005557
    Abstract: A memory device to program a group of memory cells to store multiple bits per memory cell. Each bit per memory cell in the group from a page. After determining a plurality of read voltages of the group of memory cells, the memory device can read the multiple pages of the group using the plurality of read voltages.

  • Patent number: 11514989
    Abstract: A memory device to manage the assignment of offset voltages for read operations, and to adjust read voltages using the offset voltages. The offset voltages are dynamically adjusted by a controller during operation of the memory device in response to read errors. In one approach, a first bin of offset voltages is assigned to a first region of a storage media. The first offset voltages are used to adjust read voltages for reading a page of first memory cells in the first region. The controller determines that at least one error has occurred in reading the page. In response to determining the error, the controller determines second offset voltages that can be used to read the first memory cell without causing a read error. Based on the second offset voltages, the controller identifies third offset voltages for assigning to the first region. The third offset voltages are used for adjusting read voltages for subsequent reads of pages in the first region.
