Abstract: Devices and techniques for initiating and controlling preemptive idle time read scans in a flash based storage system are disclosed. In an example, a memory device includes a NAND memory array and a memory controller to schedule and initiate read scans among multiple locations of the memory array, with such read scans being preemptively triggered during an idle (background) state of the memory device, thus reducing host latency during read and write operations in an active (foreground) state of the memory device. In an example, the optimization technique includes scheduling a read scan operation, monitoring an active or idle state of host IO operations, and preemptively initiating the read scan operation when entering an idle state, before the read scan operation is scheduled to occur. In further examples, the read scan may preemptively occur based on time-based scheduling, frequency-based conditions, or event-driven conditions triggering the read scan.

Abstract: Disclosed in some examples are techniques for handling parity data of a non-volatile memory device with limited cache memory. In certain examples, user data can be programmed into the non-volatile memory of the non-volatile memory device in data stripes, and parity information can be calculated for each individual data stripe within a limited capacity cache of the non-volatile memory device. The individual parity information can be swapped between a swap block of the non-volatile memory and the limited capacity cache as additional data stripes are programmed.

Abstract: Devices and techniques for NAND temperature data management are disclosed herein. A command to write data to a NAND component in the NAND device is received at a NAND controller of the NAND device. A temperature corresponding to the NAND component is obtained in response to receiving the command. The command is then executed to write data to the NAND component and to write a representation of the temperature. The data is written to a user portion and the representation of the temperature is written to a management portion that is accessible only to the controller and segregated from the user portion.

Abstract: Disclosed in some examples, are methods, systems, and machine readable mediums which compensate for read-disturb effects by shifting the read voltages used to read the value in a NAND cell based upon a read counter. For example, the NAND memory device may have a read counter that corresponds to a group of NAND cells (e.g., a page, a block, a superblock). Anytime a NAND cell in the group is read, the read counter may be incremented. The read voltage, Vread, may be adjusted based on the read counter to account for the read disturb voltage.

Abstract: Devices and techniques for read voltage calibration of a flash-based storage system based on host IO operations are disclosed. In an example, a memory device includes a NAND memory array having groups of multiple blocks of memory cells, and a memory controller to optimize voltage calibration for reads of the memory array. In an example, the optimization technique includes monitoring read operations occurring to a respective block, identifying a condition to trigger a read level calibration based on the read operations, and performing the read level calibration for the respective block or a memory component that includes the respective block. In a further example, the calibration is performed based on a threshold voltage to read the respective block, which may be considered when the threshold voltage to read the respective block is evaluated within a sampling operation performed by the read level calibration.

Abstract: Various examples are directed to systems and methods of managing a memory device. The memory device may receive a read request describing a logical address at the memory device. The memory device may obtain a table entry associated with the logical address. The table entry comprises a physical address corresponding to the logical address and a write temperature data indicating a write temperature for the logical address. The memory device may determine a corrected threshold voltage for reading the physical address based at least in part on the write temperature data and read the physical address using the corrected threshold voltage.

Abstract: A variety of applications can include apparatus and/or methods that include tracking data temperatures of logical block addresses for a memory device by operating multiple accumulators by one or more data temperature analyzers to count host writes to ranges of logical block addresses. Data temperature for data written by a host is a measure of how frequently data at a logical block address is overwritten. In various embodiments, tracking can include staggering the start of counting by each of the multiple accumulators to provide subsequent binning of logical block addresses bands into temperature zones, which can achieve better data segregation. Data having a logical block address received from a host can be routed to a block associated with a temperature zone based on the binning provided by the staggered operation of the multiple accumulators by one or more data temperature analyzers. Additional apparatus, systems, and methods are disclosed.

The monitored parameters can include parameters related to a selected time interval and measurements of read, erase, or write operations of the memory device.

Abstract: A memory sub-system can be determined to be operating within a target operating characteristic based on a threshold success rate associated with error control operations using a particular parameter. Upon determining that the memory sub-system is operating within the target operating characteristic, a sticky read mode is entered by performing subsequent read operations using the particular parameter. It is determined that additional error control operations are triggered for at least a first threshold number of read operations using the particular parameter during the sticky read mode. Upon determining that the additional error control operations are triggered for at least the first threshold number of read operations using the particular parameter during the sticky read mode, the sticky read mode is exited by performing further read operations using a default parameter associated with the memory sub-system.
