Abstract: A memory device comprising an array of memory cells organized into a set of sub-blocks and a set of wordlines. Control logic is operatively coupled with the array of memory cells, the control logic to perform operations including: receiving a program command from a processing device, the program command including information indicative of a physical address associated with a retired wordline of the set of wordlines; in response to detecting the information within the program command, generating dummy data that is one of pseudo-random data, all one values, or all zero values; and causing the dummy data to be programmed to memory cells of multiple sub-blocks of the set of sub-blocks that are selectively connected to the retired wordline.

Abstract: A memory device might include a controller configured to cause the memory device to generate a first sum of expected peak current magnitudes for a plurality of memory devices, and generate a second sum of expected peak current magnitudes for a subset of the plurality of memory devices, if the memory device were to initiate a next phase of an access operation in a selected operating mode; to compare the first sum to a first current demand budget for the plurality of the memory devices; to compare the second sum to a second current demand budget for the subset of memory devices; and to initiate the next phase of the access operation in the selected operating mode in response to the first sum being less than or equal to the first current demand budget and the second sum being less than or equal to the second current demand budget.

Abstract: A system can include a memory device and a processing device, operatively coupled with the memory device, to perform operations including receiving data to be stored on the memory device, storing a first copy of the data in a first set of memory cells of the memory device, and storing a second copy of the data in a second set of memory cells of the memory device. The operations can also include reading the first copy of the data and determining whether a threshold voltage of a cell in the first set of memory cells is within an overlapping range of voltage distributions, and reading the second copy of the data and determining whether the threshold voltage of a cell in the second set of memory cells is within an overlapping range of voltage distributions. They can also include using the second copy of the data.

Abstract: A system includes a processing device and trigger circuitry to signal the processing device responsive, at least in part, based on a determination that a trigger event has occurred. The system can further include a memory device communicatively coupled to the processing device. The memory device can include a cyclic buffer partition portion having a first endurance characteristic and a first reliability characteristic associated therewith. The memory device can further include a snapshot partition portion coupled to the cyclic buffer partition portion via hold-up capacitors. The snapshot partition portion can have a second endurance characteristic and a second reliability characteristic associated therewith. The processing device can perform operations including writing received data sequentially to the cyclic buffer partition portion and writing, based at least in part on the determination that the trigger event has occurred, data from the cyclic buffer partition portion to the snapshot partition portion.

Abstract: A system includes a processing device and a memory device communicatively coupled to the processing device. The memory device can include a cyclic buffer partition portion and a snapshot partition portion coupled to the cyclic buffer partition portion via hold-up capacitors. The snapshot partition portion can further include a first sub-partition portion having a first programming characteristic and a second sub-partition portion having a second programming characteristic. The processing device can write received data sequentially to the cycle buffer partition portion and write, based at least in part on a determination that a trigger event has occurred, data from the cyclic buffer partition portion to the first sub-partition portion or the second sub-partition portion, or both.

Abstract: A memory device includes a first memory die of a plurality of memory dies, the first memory die comprising a first memory array and a first power management component, wherein the first power management component is configured to send a first test value to one or more other power management components on one or more other memory dies of the plurality of memory dies during a first power management cycle of a first power management token loop. The memory device further includes a second memory die of the plurality of memory dies, the second memory die comprising a second memory array and a second power management component, wherein the second power management component is configured to receive the first test value from the first power management component during the first power management cycle of the first power management token loop and send a second test value to the one or more other power management components on the one or more other memory dies of the plurality of memory dies during a second power management cycle of a second power management token loop. At least one of the first power management component or the second power management component is configured to compare the first test value and the second test value to a set of expected values to determine whether signal connections between the first power management component and the second power management component are functional.

Abstract: A method includes writing received data sequentially to a particular location of a cyclic buffer of a memory device according to a first set of threshold voltage distributions. The method further includes performing a touch up operation on the particular location by adjusting the first set of threshold voltage distributions of the data to a second set of threshold voltage distributions in response to a determination that a trigger event has occurred. The second set of threshold voltage distributions can have a larger read window between adjacent threshold voltage distributions of the second set than that of the first set of threshold voltage distributions.
