Abstract: A method includes, in response to detecting a power on event, selecting a block from a set of blocks, causing a first scan to be performed using a set of read level offsets to select, from a set of bins in accordance with a scan order, a first bin assigned with a first read level offset resulting in a first bit error metric value, in response to determining that the first bin is not an initial bin of the scan order, causing, using a second read level offset assigned to a second bin, a second scan to be performed to obtain a second bit error metric value, wherein the second bin immediately precedes the first bin in the scan order, and selecting, based on first bit error metric value and the second bit error metric value, an optimal bin from the set of bins.

Abstract: An apparatus includes a memory sub-system comprising a plurality of memory blocks and a memory block defect detection component. The memory block defect detection component is to set, for a memory block among the plurality of memory blocks, a first block defect detection rate and determine whether the first block defect detection rate is greater than a threshold block defect detection rate for the at least one memory block. In response to a determination that the first block defect detection rate is greater than the threshold block defect detection rate for the memory block, the memory block defect detection component is to assert a program command on the memory block determine whether a program operation associated with assertion of the program command on the at least one memory block is successful. In response to a determination the program operation is unsuccessful, the memory block defect detection component is to determine that a failure involving a plane associated with the memory block and another plane of the memory sub-system has occurred.

Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure configure a system component, such as a memory sub-system controller, to generate virtual or superblocks using multiple partial good blocks. The controller identifies a first partial good block (PGB) in a set of memory components, the first PGB having first subset of word line groups (WGRs) that are categorized as being non-defective. The controller searches for a second PGB in the set of memory components having a second subset of WGRs that are categorized as being non-defective. The controller computes a total quantity of WGRs based on the first quantity of WGRs in the first subset of WGRs and a second quantity of WGRs in the second subset of WGRs and, in response, combines the first PGB and the second PGB to form an individual virtual block.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for determining offsets for memory read operations are described. In response to a threshold quantity of pages failing initial reads but being successfully read using a same reference adjustment during re-reads, the offset responsible for the adjustment may be used as a first-applied offset for subsequent re-reads or a baseline offset for subsequent initial reads. After the initial reads begin using the reference adjustment, if a threshold quantity of pages fail initial reads, the offset used for the initial read may be adjusted to be the offset used to perform the successful re-reads. If an updated offset to use a baseline is not identified, the baseline offset may be cleared so the original reference may again be used without adjustment for initial reads.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for reference voltage adjustment for word line groups are described. In some examples, one or more components of a memory system may determine a duration that data has been stored to one or more memory cells. Based on the duration, a voltage value of one or more reference voltages may be adjusted accordingly. For example, a voltage value of one or more reference voltages may be adjusted based on the duration. Moreover, the reference voltage values may be adjusted differently in response to the memory cells having stored data for a relatively longer duration, as opposed to memory cells that have stored data for a relatively shorter duration. The adjusted reference voltages may be used during a subsequent read operation. The voltage value of the one or more reference voltages may be adjusted on a word-line group by word-line group basis.
