  • Publication number: 20240071435
    Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed including a memory device comprising a memory array and control logic, operatively coupled with the memory array. The control logic can perform operations comprising causing a read operation to be initiated with respect to a set of target cells of the memory array; obtaining, for a respective group of adjacent cells, respective cell state information; performing a set of strobe reads on the set of target cells; and generating, for a target cell of the set of target cells, semi-soft bit data based on the respective cell state information of the respective group of adjacent cells and on data obtained from a first strobe read and a second strobe read of the set of strobe reads performed on the target cell.

  • Patent number: 11829650
    Abstract: A method includes receiving a command to write data to a memory device and writing the data to a first memory tier of the memory device. The first memory tier of the memory device is a dynamic memory tier that utilizes single level cells (SLCs), multi-level cells (MLCs), and triple level cells (TLCs). The method further includes migrating the data from the first memory tier of the memory device to a second memory tier of the memory device. The second memory tier of the memory device is a static memory tier that utilizes quad level cells (QLCs).
