Abstract: A media management operation can be performed at a memory sub-system at a current frequency. An operating characteristic associated with the memory sub-system can be identified. The operating characteristic can reflect at least one of a write count, a bit error rate, or a read-retry trigger rate. A determination can be made as to whether the identified operating characteristic satisfies an operating characteristic criterion. In response to determining that the operating characteristic satisfies the characteristic criterion, the media management operation can be performed at a different frequency relative to the current frequency.

Abstract: Described herein are embodiments related to defect detection in memory components of memory systems with time-varying bit error rate. A processing device performs an error recovery flow (ERF) to recover a unit of data comprising data and a write timestamp indicating when the unit of data was written. The processing device determines whether to perform a defect detection operation to detect a defect in the memory component using a bit error rate (BER), corresponding to the read operation, and the write timestamp in the unit of data. The processing device initiates the defect detection operation responsive to the BER condition not being expected for the calculated W2R (based on the write timestamp). The processing device can use an ERF condition and the write timestamp to determine whether to perform the defect detection operation. The processing device initiates the defect detection operation responsive to the ERF condition not being expected the calculated W2R (based on the write timestamp).

In response to the data satisfying the threshold criterion, the processing device is to perform the read operation on the data stored at the physical address using a first read voltage level, and in response to the data not satisfying the threshold criterion, perform the read operation on the data stored at the physical address using a second read voltage level.

Abstract: Channel information and channel conditions determined by an Offline Tracking process are used to determine whether or not an adjustment to the read reference voltage can be avoided altogether without detrimentally affecting performance, or, alternatively, to determine a precision with which a read reference voltage adjustment should be made. If it is determined based on the channel conditions that a read reference voltage adjustment can be avoided altogether, read performance is improved by reducing the probability that a read reference voltage adjustment needs to be made during normal read operations. If it is determined based on the channel conditions that a read reference voltage adjustment needs to be made with a particular precision, the read reference voltage is so adjusted. This latter approach is advantageous in that relatively fewer adjustments will be made during normal read operations.

A difference between the time of the performance of the read operation and the another time of the performance of the write operation can be determined. A refresh operation can be performed for the data of the write unit at the memory sub-system based on the difference between the time of the performance of the read operation and the another time of the performance of the write operation.
