Abstract: A processing device in a memory sub-system initiates a partial block handling protocol for a closed block of a memory device, the block comprising a plurality of wordlines. The processing device further sends a first programming command to the memory device to program one or more wordlines of the block with first padding data having a first data pattern, wherein the one or more wordlines are adjacent to a last wordline of the block programmed before the block was closed. In addition, the processing device sends a second programming command to the memory device to program all of a set of remaining wordlines of the block with second padding data having a second data pattern comprising fewer bits of data per cell than the first data pattern.

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 first sequence of operations corresponding to an error recovery process of a memory sub-system is determined. A value corresponding to an operating characteristic of a memory sub-system is determined, the operating characteristic corresponding to execution of a first sequence of operations of an error recovery process. A determination is made that the value satisfies a condition. In response to the value satisfying the first condition, a second sequence of operations corresponding to the error recovery process is executed.

Abstract: A value corresponding to an operating characteristic of a memory sub-system is determined. The value is compared to a threshold level to determine whether a condition is satisfied. In response to satisfying the condition, a read scrub operation associated with the memory sub-system is executed.

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 threshold criterion of a plurality of threshold criteria is identified based on a current program-erase cycle (PEC) count of a first block of a memory device, wherein the first block is configured as quad-level cell (QLC) memory. A raw bit error rate (RBER) associated with data of a second block of the memory device is determined, wherein the second block is configured as single-level cell (SLC) memory. It is determined that the RBER associated with the data of the second block satisfies the threshold criterion. In response to determining that the RBER satisfies the threshold criterion, the data of the second block is written to the first block.

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: Respective life expectancies of a first data unit and a second data unit of the memory device is obtained. A first initial age value corresponding to the first data unit and a second initial age value corresponding to the second data unit are determined. A lower one of the first initial age value and the second initial age value is identified. A first media management operation on a corresponding one of the first data unit or the second data unit associated with the lower one of the first initial age value and the second initial age value is performed. A second media management operation on the first data unit and the second data unit 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.
