Abstract: A read is initiated with respect to a target cell. A pair of adjacent cells includes a first cell and a second cell each adjacent to the target cell. First cell state information is obtained for the first cell and second cell state information is obtained for the second cell. A state information bin is determined by applying a pre-defined operation to the first cell state information and the second cell state information of the respective pair of adjacent cells. The target cell is assigned to the state information bin. Each state information bin defines a read level offset for reading the target cell.

Abstract: A method performed by a processing device receives a plurality of write operation requests, where each of the write operation requests specifies a respective one of the memory units, identifies one or more operating characteristic values, where each operating characteristic value reflects one or more memory access operations performed on a memory device, and determines whether the operating characteristic values satisfy one or more threshold criteria. Responsive to determining that the operating characteristic values satisfy the one or more threshold criteria, the method performs a plurality of write operations, where each of the write operations writes data to the respective one of the memory units, and performs a multiple-read scan operation subsequent to the plurality of write operations, where the multiple-read scan operation reads data from each of the memory units.

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: Control logic in a memory device selects two or more blocks of a plurality of blocks to concurrently scan during a scan operation. The control logic can further cause a first voltage to be applied to a dummy word line of each block of the two or more blocks to selectively couple a string of memory cells in each block of the two or more blocks to a different sense amplifier of a set of sense amplifiers coupled with the plurality of blocks. The control logic can cause a second voltage to be applied to a selected word line of each block of the two or more blocks to read a bit stored at a respective memory cell of the string of memory cells in each block out to the set of sense amplifier.

Abstract: Control logic in a memory device executes a first operation comprising a first set of programming pulses and a first set of program verify operations on a first portion of a first subset of memory cells to be programmed to identify a first start voltage level. A second set of programming pulses including at least one programming pulse having the first start voltage level is caused to be applied to program a second portion of the first subset of memory cells. A second operation including a third set of programming pulses and a second set of program verify operations are executed on a first portion of the second subset of memory cells to identify a second start voltage level.

Abstract: Control logic in a memory device identifies a set of memory cells in a block of a memory array, wherein the set of memory cells comprises two or more memory cells programmed during a program phase of a program operation and associated with a selected wordline of the memory array. The control logic further causes a program verify voltage to be applied to the selected wordline during a program verify phase of the program operation and performs concurrent sensing operations on the set of memory cells to determine whether each memory cell in the set of memory cells was programmed to at least the program verify voltage during the program phase of the program operation.

Abstract: Control logic in a memory device determines to initiate a string read operation on a first memory string of a plurality of memory strings in a block of a memory array of the memory device, the block comprising a plurality of wordlines, wherein each of the plurality of memory strings comprises a plurality of memory cells associated with the plurality of wordlines, and wherein the first memory string is designated as a sacrificial string. The control logic further causes a read voltage to be applied to each of the plurality of wordlines of the memory array concurrently and senses a level of current flowing through the first memory string designated as the sacrificial string while the read voltage is applied to each of the plurality of wordline. In addition, the control logic identifies, based on the level of current flowing through the first memory string designated as the sacrificial string, whether a threshold level of read disturb has occurred on the block.
