Abstract: A memory array includes a block including wordlines, bitlines, and strings each connected to a respective bitline. The block is divided into a sub-blocks. Each sub-block includes a respective set of the strings, and each string of the set of strings is located at a sub-block position within its respective sub-block. Control logic performs operations including selecting each sub-block, causing a first voltage to be applied to a dummy wordline to activate a first set of dummy cells and deactivate a second set of dummy cells, and causing a second voltage to be applied to a selected wordline. Each sub-block includes a single string corresponding to an open string connected to a dummy cell of the first set of dummy cells. The second voltage causes data to be read out from each open string to a respective page buffer.

Abstract: Memory devices might include an array of memory cells, a plurality of access lines, and control logic. The array of memory cells includes a plurality of strings of series-connected memory cells. Each access line of the plurality of access lines is connected to a control gate of a respective memory cell of each string of series-connected memory cells of the plurality of strings of series-connected memory cells. The control logic is configured to: open the array of memory cells for multiple read operations; read first page data from respective memory cells coupled to a selected access line of the plurality of access lines; read second page data from the respective memory cells coupled to the selected access line; and close the array of memory cells subsequent to reading the first page data and the second page data.

Abstract: A system can include a processing device operatively coupled with the one or more memory devices, to perform operations that include writing data to the one or more memory devices and performing one or more scan operations on a management unit containing the data to determine a current value of a chosen data state metric. Each scan operation can be performed using a corresponding predetermined read-time parameter value. The operations can include determining whether the current value of the chosen data state metric satisfies a criterion, and can also include, responsive to determining that the current value of the chosen data state metric satisfies the criterion, selecting a remedial operation by determining whether redundancy metadata is included in a fault tolerant data stripe on the one or more memory devices. The operations can also include performing the remedial operation with respect to the management unit.

Abstract: A memory device includes a memory array and processing logic, operatively coupled with the memory array, to perform operations including causing a data burst to be initiated by toggling a logical level of a control pin from a first level corresponding to a data burst inactive mode to a second level corresponding to a data burst active mode, wherein the data burst corresponds to a data transfer across an interface bus, causing the data burst to be suspended by toggling the logical level of the control pin from the second level to a third level corresponding to a data burst suspend mode, and causing the data burst to be resumed by toggling the logical level of the control pin from the third level to the second level.

Abstract: A second read command to read second data from an array of memory cells is detected. An initial voltage to be applied to at least one wordline coupled to at least a subset of the array of memory cells is caused prior to releasing a first data associated with a first read command stored in a page buffer. The initial voltage to increase to a target value is caused. The page buffer to sense the second data from a bitline coupled to a page of the subset of the array of memory cells is caused. The sensed second data out of the bitline into the page buffer is read responsive to determining that the first data has been released from the page buffer.

Abstract: A memory system includes a ready busy pin coupled with a plurality of dice and a processing device coupled with the ready busy pin. The processing device is to perform controller operations including waiting to perform any status checks until after assertion of a pulse on a status indicator signal received from the ready busy pin; detecting the pulse being asserted is an extended pulse comprising at least a partial overlap of a first pulse asserted by a first die and a second pulse asserted by a second die of the plurality of dice; initiating a polling delay period in response to detecting assertion of the extended pulse, wherein the polling delay period is greater than a pulse width of the first pulse; and initiating a first status check of dice operations being performed by the plurality of dice in response to detecting expiration of the polling delay period.

Abstract: A memory device includes a memory array including wordlines and at least one string of cells. Each cell of the at least one string of cells is addressable by a respective wordline. The memory device further includes control logic, operatively coupled to the memory array, to perform operations including generating gate-induced drain leakage (GIDL) with respect to the at least one string of cells, and causing a grounding voltage to be applied to a set of wordlines to ground each cell of the at least one string of cells addressable by each wordline of the set of wordlines. The grounding voltage applied to the set of wordlines enables transport of positive charge carriers generated by the GIDL. In some embodiments, the positive charge carriers neutralize a buildup of negative charge carriers generated during a seeding phase of a program refresh operation.
