    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: Methods, systems, and devices for storing parity during refresh operations are described. In some examples, refresh operations may be performed on a memory device when the memory device is idle. For example, a refresh operation may entail performing a logical operation on first data and a first set of parity bits and second data and a second set of parity bits. The logical operation may generate a third set of parity bits which may be used for data retention purposes. Moreover, during a read operation, the third set of parity bits may be used to recover corrupt or otherwise invalid data in the event of an error.

    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for redundant array management techniques are described. A memory system may include a volatile memory device, a non-volatile memory device, and one or more redundant arrays of independent nodes. The memory system may include a first redundant array controller and a second redundant array controller of a redundant array of independent nodes. The memory system may receive a write command associated with writing data to a type of memory cell. Based on the type of memory cell, the memory system may generate parity data corresponding to the data using one or both of the first redundant array controller and the second redundant array controller. In some examples, the first redundant array controller may be configured to generate parity data associated with a first type of failure and the second redundant array controller may be configured to generate parity data associated with a second type of failure.

    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for topology-based retirement in a memory system are described. In some examples, a memory system or memory device may be configured to evaluate error conditions relative to a physical or electrical organization of a memory array, which may support inferring the presence or absence of defects in one or more structures of a memory device. For example, based on various evaluations of detected errors, a memory system or a memory device may be able to infer a presence of a short-circuit, an open circuit, a dielectric breakdown, or other defects of a memory array that may be related to wear or degradation over time, and retire a portion of a memory array based on such an inference.

    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for ordering entries of an input command queue are described. A memory system may include an interface (e.g., a host interface) that includes a queue (e.g., an input command queue). The host interface may receive commands from a host system, and the commands may be inserted into the input command queue in an order they are received. In some examples, the memory system may determine a range of logical block addresses (LBAs) associated with one or more entries in the input command queue. The memory system may order (e.g., reorder) the commands such that the respective LBA ranges are contiguous.

    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for power arbitration for systems of electronic components are described. A system may include a power source, a signaling conductor coupled with a voltage source, and a set of electronic components. One or more of the electronic components may include respective circuitry coupled with the power source and a respective switching component (e.g., a transistor) coupled with the signaling conductor. In some implementations, an electronic component of the set may be configured to determine an operation of its respective circuitry that is associated with a power consumption from the power source. Based on such a determination, the electronic component may switch its respective switching component in accordance with an identifier associated with the electronic component, and determine whether to perform the operation based on monitoring a signal level of the signaling conductor during the switching.

    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for partitioned transferring for write booster are described. Techniques are described for a memory system to transfer data from a buffer associated with a write booster mode to higher-density blocks of the memory system based on a type of the data stored in the buffer. A first type of data may be transferred from the buffer to the higher-density blocks before a second type of data may be transferred from the buffer to the higher-density blocks. Prioritizing the transfer of data from the buffer to the higher-density block based on the type of data may reduce a write amplification associated with the memory system.

    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for techniques for retiring blocks of a memory system are described. In some examples, aspects of a memory system or memory device may be configured to determine an error for a block of memory cells. Upon determining the occurrence of the error, the memory system may identify one or more operating conditions associated with the block. For example, the memory system may determine a temperature of the block, a cycle count of the block, a quantity of times the block has experienced an error, a bit error rate of the block, and/or a quantity of available blocks in the associated system. Depending on whether a criteria associated with a respective operating condition is satisfied, the block may be enabled or retired.
