  • Publication number: 20230393932
    Abstract: Exemplary methods, apparatuses, and systems include performing an initial data integrity scan of a subset of memory at an initial time to determine an initial error rate for the subset of memory. The initial error rate and the initial time are stored. A subsequent integrity scan of the subset of memory is performed at a second time to determine a subsequent error rate for the subset of memory. A difference between the initial error rate and the subsequent error rate is determined. A difference between the initial time and the subsequent time is determined. A remedial action is selected using the difference between the initial error rate and the subsequent error rate and the difference between the initial time and the subsequent time and the remedial action is performed.

  • Publication number: 20230197119
    Abstract: A method includes performing a first operation to program data to a group of memory cells of a memory device, wherein the data comprises host data and a bit pattern indicative of a first temperature of the group of memory cells and receiving a signal to perform a second operation to read the host data from the group of memory cells. The method further includes determining, responsive to receipt of the signal, whether a second temperature of the group of memory cells is outside a threshold temperature differential that is based on the bit pattern indicative of the first temperature of the group of memory cells, applying a voltage offset signal to the group of memory cells responsive to a determination that the second temperature of the group of memory cells is outside the threshold temperature differential, and performing the second operation to read the host data from the group of memory cells subsequent to application of the voltage offset signal to the group of memory cells.

  • Patent number: 11669451
    Abstract: A method includes transferring data out of a first buffer coupled to a first plane of a plurality of planes of a memory component, where the data was previously transferred from the first plane to the first buffer responsive to an access request to sense data stored in the plurality of planes of the memory component. The method further includes transferring, subsequent to transferring the data out of the first buffer and independently of a command from a processing device, data out of a second buffer coupled to a second plane of the plurality of planes of the memory component, where the data transferred out of the second buffer was previously transferred from the second plane to the second buffer responsive to the access request.

  • Patent number: 11650653
    Abstract: Disclosed are examples of apparatuses including memory devices and systems comprising memories sharing a common enable signal, wherein the memories may be put into different power modes. Example methods for setting the different power modes of the memories are disclosed. In some examples, different power modes may be set by issuing memory group-level commands, memory-level commands, or combinations thereof.

  • Patent number: 9423960
    Abstract: The present disclosure includes methods and devices for logical memory blocks. One method for operating a memory device includes receiving a command to operate X pages of the memory device, X being greater than Y, and executing the command by executing multiple subcommands, each subcommand operating on a logical memory block portion of the X pages, each logical memory block including at most Y pages. T is a timeout limit, N is a number of pages comprising a block of memory, and Y is number of pages that can be operated within time T.
