Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatuses include moving a portion of memory to a garbage pool in response to determining that the portion of memory is invalid. The portion of memory is erased in response to determining that the portion of memory is invalid. A request to move an additional portion of memory to a free pool from the garbage pool is received. A free pool includes a queue including erased portions of memory, which serve as next portions of memory to fulfill subsequent cursor requests. The erased portion of memory is moved from the garbage pool to the free pool.

Abstract: A memory device may include a memory and a controller. The controller may be configured to receive a read command associated with a block of the memory. The controller may be configured to determine a block type associated with the block. The controller may be configured to identify, based on the block type, one or more read voltage offsets for a read operation associated with the block. The controller may be configured to perform the read operation based on the one or more read voltage offsets.

Abstract: In some implementations, a memory device may receive, from a host device, a program command. The memory device may determine that the program command is associated with a single level cell (SLC) program command. The memory device may determine a size of host data associated with the program command. The memory device may select a programming scheme, from multiple candidate programming schemes, to be used to write the host data to a memory based on the size of the host data and based on determining that the program command is associated with the SLC program command. The memory device may write the host data to the memory using the programming scheme.

Abstract: Implementations described herein relate to detecting a memory write reliability risk without using a write verify operation. In some implementations, a memory device may perform a program operation that includes a single program pulse and that does not include a program verify operation immediately after the single program pulse. The memory device may set a flag value based on comparing a transition time and a transition time threshold. The transition time may be a time to transition from a first voltage to a second voltage during the program operation. The memory device may selectively perform a mitigation operation based on whether the flag value is set to a first value or a second value.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatuses include determining an erase policy for a memory device. An erase operation is selected based on the determined erase policy, where the erase operations include an alternating erase operation and a uniform erase operation. The erase operation is executed on a portion of memory.

Abstract: In some implementations, a memory device may determine that a power loss has occurred. The memory device may determine a last written page (LWP) location associated with an LWP of a block of a memory of the memory device. The memory device may determine one of: a word line group (WLG) associated with the LWP location and at least one WLG-dependent offset associated with the WLG, or a partial block (PB) fill ratio associated with the LWP location and at least one PB-fill-ratio-dependent offset associated with the PB fill ratio. The memory device may perform a power loss error detection procedure based on one of the at least one WLG-dependent offset or the at least one PB-fill-ratio offset by applying the one of the at least one WLG-dependent offset or the at least one PB-fill-ratio offset to at least one read reference voltage.

Abstract: Implementations described herein relate to a memory device with a fast write mode to mitigate power loss. In some implementations, the memory device may detect a condition associated with power supplied to the memory device. The memory device may detect one or more pending write operations to be performed to cause data to be written to memory cells of the memory device. The memory device may switch from a first voltage pattern, previously used by the memory device to write data to one or more memory cells of the memory device, to a second voltage pattern based on detecting the condition and based on detecting the one or more pending write operations. The memory device may perform at least one write operation, of the one or more pending write operations, using the second voltage pattern.

Abstract: A processing device of a memory sub-system is configured to determine a current refresh frequency associated with the memory device, the current refresh frequency specifying a rate of performing refresh operations on data stored at the memory device; compute an updated refresh frequency by updating the current refresh frequency based on a criterion reflecting a result of comparing one or more operating parameters of the memory device to their respective threshold values; and perform a refresh operation on data stored at the memory device according to the updated refresh frequency.

Abstract: A command to read specific data stored at a memory die is received. A read operation is performed while operating both a memory controller and the memory die simultaneously at a first frequency. A processor determines whether a first error rate associated with the memory die satisfies a first error threshold criterion (e.g., UECC). Responsive to determining that the first error rate satisfies the first error threshold criterion, the read operation is repeated while operating at least one of the memory controller or the memory die at a second frequency that is different from the first frequency. The processor determines whether a second error rate associated with the memory die satisfies a second error threshold criterion. Responsive to determining that the second error rate satisfies the second error threshold criterion (e.g. UECC persists), determining that the read operation has failed.

Abstract: An initial level of sensing voltage is set based on one or more characteristics of the segment of the memory device. A count for operational cycles for a segment of a memory device is set. Responsive to determining that a number of operational cycles performed on the segment of the memory device has reached the set count of operational cycles, the sensing voltage is varied with respect to the initial level of sensing voltage. The sensing voltage is adjusted to a new level based on wearing of the segment of the memory device during the number of operational cycles performed on the segment of the memory device.
