    Abstract: A method including obtaining temperature values of at least one region of the non-volatile memory, each temperature value obtained at a given time instant, for each obtained temperature value at each given time instant, calculating the value of an operating function representative of an operating condition of the non-volatile memory, the value such operating function being time-dependent according to the temperature time-variation of such at least one region of the non-volatile memory, summing subsequent computed values of said operating function to obtain an accumulated value being representative of an elapsed fraction of a time limit associated with the at least one region of the non-volatile memory, comparing the accumulated value with a threshold value, and, based on said comparison, performing a management operation on the cells of the at least one region of the non-volatile memory when the accumulated value has a magnitude equal or greater than the threshold value.

    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices related to mapping a plurality of pairs of bits of a memory transfer block (MTB) to a plurality of linked (LK) die input/output (LDIO) lines coupling a LK die to an interface (IF) die. The plurality of pairs of bits of the MTB can be communicated from the LK die to the IF die via the plurality of LDIO lines. Responsive to a failure of one of the plurality of LDIO lines, a Bose-Chaudhuri-Hocquenghem (BCH) error correction can be performed on the pairs of bits mapped to the failed LDIO line. Each of the plurality of pairs of bits is a respective symbol for the BCH error correction.

    Abstract: A memory device can include a plurality of memory cells including a first group of memory cells and a second group of memory cells programmed to a predefined logic state. The plurality of memory cells includes a memory controller configured to apply a reading voltage to at least one selected memory cell of the first group during a reading operation, apply the reading voltage to the memory cells of the second group, and responsive to the logic state of at least one memory cell of the second group being assessed to be different from the predefined logic state perform a refresh operation of the memory cells of the first group by applying a recovery voltage higher than the reading voltage to assess the logic state thereof and reprogramming the memory cells of the first group to the logic state assessed with the recovery voltage.

    Abstract: The present disclosure includes apparatuses, methods, and systems for drift compensation for codewords in memory. An embodiment includes a memory device having an array of memory cells, and circuitry to sense a codeword stored in the array, determine a derivative value of a cell metric for each cell of the codeword based on a threshold voltage of that respective cell, a mean of threshold voltage values of each cell of the codeword, and a value proportional to a total quantity of the cells of the codeword and a position of the threshold voltage value of that respective cell in the threshold voltage values of each cell of the codeword, determine the cell metric for which the determined derivative value changes from a first polarity to a second polarity, input the determined cell metric to a Pearson detector, and determine originally programmed data of the codeword using the Pearson detector.

    Abstract: An on-die controller can provide an error correction capability for data stored in an array of memory cells located on the same die as the on-die controller. The error correction capability provided by the on-die controller eliminates a need to transfer error correction code (ECC) data to an external controller that may have provided the error correction capability in lieu of the on-die controller, which can provide more channel bandwidth for other types of non-user data for further strengthening data reliability, security, integrity of the memory system.
