Abstract: A set of threshold voltage distribution width measurements are obtained for a block in a memory device. An endurance estimate is determined for the block based on the threshold voltage distribution width measurements. The endurance estimate comprises an indication of an estimated number of program/erase cycles during which data can be reliably stored by the block. One or more parameters of the block are managed based on the endurance estimate.

Abstract: Exemplary methods, apparatuses, and systems including memory self-recovery management to correct failures due to soft-error rate events. The self-recovery manager detects a failure of a memory device. The self-recovery manager retrieves a set of register values from the memory device. The self-recovery manager stores the set of register values from the memory device. The self-recovery manager issues a reset command to the memory device, the reset command including generating a re-initialized set of register values. The self-recovery manager compares the set of register values with the re-initialized set of register values. The self-recovery manager triggering a self-recovery attempt using the comparison of the set of register values with the re-initialized set of register values.

Abstract: An apparatus can include a touch-up component. The touch-up component can detect that at least one memory cell of a page of memory cells has lost a portion of a charge. The touch-up component can set touch-up parameters for the page of memory cells. The touch-up component can cause a transfer of data from the page of memory cells to a cache. The touch-up component can reprogram the at least one memory cell using the set touch-up parameters.

Abstract: Described are systems and methods for providing power loss immunity in memory programming operations. An example memory device comprises: a memory array comprising a plurality of memory cells electrically coupled to a plurality of wordlines and a plurality of bitlines; and a controller coupled to the memory array, the controller to perform operations comprising: causing a programming pulse to be applied to to one or more wordlines of the memory array; responsive to determining that a threshold voltage of one or more memory cells of the memory array has reached a pre-program verify level, causing a first bias voltage level to be applied to a first subset of bitlines of the memory array and causing a second bias voltage level to be applied to a second subset of bitlines of the memory array.

Abstract: A read operation is performed on a memory device in accordance with a pass-through voltage setting that defines a pass-through voltage applied to one or more cells of the memory device during read operations. A number of zero bits read from the memory device based on the read operation are counted and compared with a threshold value. Based on the number of zero bits exceeding the threshold value, the pass-through voltage is increased by adjusting the pass-through voltage setting.

Abstract: A trigger condition associated with latent read disturb in a memory device is detected. In response to detecting the trigger condition associated with latent read disturb, one or more blocks in the memory device that are impacted by the trigger condition are placed in a stable state to mitigate latent read disturb in the one or more blocks.

Abstract: Memory cells may store multiple bits per cell. For example, three-level cell (TLC) memory stores three bits per cell using eight voltage levels. The number of memory cells at each voltage is approximately the total number of cells divided by the number of voltage levels. The number of memory cells above a certain read voltage is the CFByte value for the read voltage. Based on a difference between the CFByte value and a target CFByte value for the read voltage, an adjustment value is determined. Characteristics of an individual memory device may be determined by finding several CFByte values for a small range of read voltages. Using the gathered CFByte values, a DAC adjustment value is determined for the individual memory device.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for memory pillar selection transistor evaluation are described. A memory system may be configured to monitor threshold voltage characteristics of pillar selection transistors, which may include evaluations relative to certain subsets of the pillar selection transistors. For example, an activation voltage may be applied to the pillar selection transistors to determine whether threshold voltages associated with each subset of pillar selection transistors have shifted. Determining whether the threshold voltages have shifted may include determining whether an access parameter has been satisfied, such as a duration to program memory cells. For example, a relatively long duration may indicate that channels associated with pillar selection transistors have become less conductive for a given activation voltage.
