    Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed including a memory device and a processing device operatively coupled to the memory device. The processing device can perform operations comprising determining a parameter value of a select gate associated with a first set of memory cells; responsive to determining that the parameter value satisfies a threshold criterion, marking the first block in a grown bad block (GBB) data structure; performing one or more pulse operations on the first block to invalidate data stored on the block; receiving, from a host system, an enhanced erase command referencing a second block; and responsive to determining that the second block is marked in the GBB data structure, discarding the enhanced erase command.

    Abstract: A method includes performing a first write operation that writes data to a first memory unit of a group of memory units in a memory device, determining a write-to-write (W2W) delay based on a time difference between the first write operation and a second write operation on a memory unit in the group of memory units, wherein the second write operation occurred prior to the first write operation, identifying a threshold time criterion that is satisfied by the W2W delay, identifying a first read voltage level associated with the threshold time criterion, and associating the first read voltage level with a second memory unit of the group of memory units. The second memory unit can be associated with a second read voltage level that satisfies a selection criterion based on a comparison of the second read voltage level to the first read voltage level.

    Abstract: A request to perform a memory access operation on a plurality of memory cells of a memory device is receive. A request type associated with the memory access operation is determined. In response to determining that the request type associated with the request type associated with the memory access operation is a first request type, an error recovery operation associated with the first request type is performed. In response to determining that the request type associated with the memory access operation is a second request type, an error recovery operation associated with the second request type is performed.

    Abstract: An operation timing condition associated with a memory device to be installed at a memory sub-system is determined. The memory device can include a cross-point array of non-volatile memory cells. The operation timing condition corresponds to a first operation delay timing margin setting for the cross-point array of non-volatile memory cells. A first set of memory access operations is performed at the cross-point array of non-volatile memory cells according to a second operation delay timing margin setting that is lower than the first operation delay timing margin setting. A first number of errors that occurred during performance of the first set of memory access operations is determined. In response to a determination that the first number of errors satisfies an error condition, a first quality rating is assigned for the memory device. In response to a determination that the first number of errors does not satisfy the error criterion, further testing is performed for the cross-point array of non-volatile memory cells based on one or more power level settings.
