Patent number: 11644979Abstract: A processing device in a memory system assigns a memory page to a sensitivity tier of a plurality of sensitivity tiers. The processing device determines respective scan intervals for the plurality of sensitivity tiers, wherein the respective scan intervals are based on at least one characteristic of a memory device, the at least one characteristic comprising memory cell margins of the memory device. The processing device scans a subset of a plurality of memory pages, wherein the subset comprises a number of memory pages from each sensitivity tier identified according to the respective scan intervals.Type: GrantFiled: April 7, 2022Date of Patent: May 9, 2023Assignee: Micron Technology, Inc.Inventors: Kishore Kumar Muchherla, Gary F. Besinga, Cory M. Steinmetz, Pushpa Seetamraju, Jiangang Wu, Sampath K. Ratnam, Peter Feeley

Patent number: 11481348Abstract: A first operation identifier is assigned to a current operation directed to a memory component, the first operation identifier having a first entry in a first data structure that associates the first operation identifier with a first buffer identifier. It is determined whether the current operation collides with a prior operation assigned a second operation identifier, the second operation identifier having a second entry in the first data structure that associates the second operation identifier with a second buffer identifier. A latest flag is updated to indicate that the first entry is a latest operation directed to an address (1) in response to determining that the current operation collides with the prior operation and that the current and prior operations are read operations, or (2) in response to determining to determining that the current operation does not collide with a prior operation.Type: GrantFiled: January 28, 2021Date of Patent: October 25, 2022Assignee: MICRON TECHNOLOGY, INC.Inventors: Lyle E. Adams, Mark Ish, Pushpa Seetamraju, Karl D. Schuh, Dan Tupy

Patent number: 11301143Abstract: A processing device in a memory system determines sensitivity value of a memory page in the memory system. The processing device assigns the memory page to a sensitivity tier of a plurality of sensitivity tiers based on a corresponding sensitivity value, wherein each sensitivity tier has a corresponding range of sensitivity values. The processing device further determines a targeted scan interval for each sensitivity tier of the plurality of sensitivity tiers and scans a subset of a plurality of memory pages in the memory component, wherein the subset comprises a number of memory pages from each sensitivity tier determined according to the corresponding targeted scan interval of each sensitivity tier.Type: GrantFiled: June 5, 2019Date of Patent: April 12, 2022Assignee: Micron Technology, Inc.Inventors: Kishore Kumar Muchherla, Gary F.

Publication number: 20200264984Abstract: An entry is read from a first memory component, the entry associated with a first logical address. The first entry includes a first physical address to a segment of a logical-to-physical address map in a second memory component and an indication of whether the segment of the logical-to-physical address map is stored in the first memory component. The segment of the logical-to-physical address map includes a second entry associated with the first logical address. A second physical address is written to the second entry in the first memory component based on a determination from the indication that the segment of the logical-to-physical address map is stored in the first memory component.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 3, 2019Publication date: August 20, 2020Inventors: Lyle E.
