    Abstract: A high-performance write operation to program data to a group of non-volatile memory cells may be completed in response to applying a single programming pulse to the group. Programming of the cells may be verified (and/or corrected) after completion of the command. Verifying programming of the cells may comprise identifying under-programmed cells, and applying an additional programming pulse to the identified cells. The under-programmed cells may comprise cells within an under-program range below a target level. The under-program range may be determined based on a threshold voltage distribution of the cells in response to applying the single programming pulse.

    Abstract: A non-volatile memory system and corresponding method of operation are provided. The system includes non-volatile memory cells, each retaining a threshold voltage within a threshold window. The non-volatile memory cells include multi-bit cells each configured to store a plurality of bits of data with the threshold window partitioned into bands each having a band width. The bands include a lowest band denoting an erased state and increasing bands. A control circuit programs a first set of the data into the multi-bit cells in a single-bit mode using first target states being one of the erased state and a tight intermediate state having a distribution of the threshold voltage no wider than the band width of one of the increasing bands. The control circuit also programs a second set of the data into the multi-bit cells in a multi-bit mode with each of the multi-bit cells storing the plurality of bits.

    Abstract: Technology is described herein for operating non-volatile storage. In one embodiment, the memory system tracks which adjustments to default values for hard bit read reference voltages are most frequently successful to decode data in non-volatile memory cells. In response to a process that uses only hard bits failing to successfully decode data in a group of the non-volatile memory cells, the memory system attempts to decode the data in the group of non-volatile memory cells using dynamic hard bit read reference voltages and dynamic soft bit read reference voltages that correspond to only a subset of the most frequently successful adjustments to the default values for the hard bit read reference voltages. By only using a subset of the most frequently successful adjustments to the default values for the hard bit read reference voltages time and power is saved.

    Abstract: A non-volatile memory system comprises a memory structure and a control circuit connected to the memory structure. The memory structure includes one or more planes of non-volatile memory cells. Each plane is divided into a plurality of partial planes. The control circuit is configured to write to and read from the memory cells by writing a partial page into a particular partial plane and reading the partial page from the particular partial plane using a set of parameters optimized for the particular partial plane.
