Abstract: A system can include a processing device operatively coupled with the one or more memory devices, to perform operations that include writing data to the one or more memory devices and performing one or more scan operations on a management unit containing the data to determine a current value of a chosen data state metric. Each scan operation can be performed using a corresponding predetermined read-time parameter value. The operations can include determining whether the current value of the chosen data state metric satisfies a criterion, and can also include, responsive to determining that the current value of the chosen data state metric satisfies the criterion, selecting a remedial operation by determining whether redundancy metadata is included in a fault tolerant data stripe on the one or more memory devices. The operations can also include performing the remedial operation with respect to the management unit.

Abstract: A memory device includes an array of memory cells and a controller configured to access the array of memory cells. The controller is further configured to program a first number of bits to a first memory cell of the array of memory cells and program a second number of bits to a second memory cell of the array of memory cells. The controller is further configured to following a period after programming the second number of bits to the second memory cell, merge at least a subset of the first number of bits stored in the first memory cell to the second number of bits stored in the second memory cell without erasing the second memory cell such that the second number of bits plus at least the subset of the first number of bits are stored in the second memory cell.

Abstract: A system includes a memory component and a processing device, operatively coupled with the memory component, to send a read command to the memory component while a program or erase operation being executed by the memory component is suspended. The processing device, operatively coupled with the memory component, can then send an auto resume command to the memory component to automatically resume execution of the program or erase operation after the read command is executed.

Abstract: A method includes identifying a target plane in respective planes of a memory die in a non-volatile memory array and identifying, from blocks of non-volatile memory cells coupled to a common bit line in the target plane, at least one target block in the target plane. The method further includes performing an operation to disable at least one gate associated with the at least one target block to prevent access to the blocks of non-volatile memory cells coupled to the common bit line in the target plane.

Abstract: Control logic in a memory device identifies memory cells of a memory array configured as single-level cell (SLC) memory, where the memory cells include two or more memory cells programmed during a program phase and associated with a selected wordline of the memory array. The control logic further causes a program verify voltage to be applied to the selected wordline during a ganged SLC verify operation to be performed concurrently on the memory cells. In response to the memory cells failing to pass ganged SLC verify operation, the control logic further: copies first data, which is associated with a first memory cell, into the data recovery latch; causes a program verify operation to be performed separately on the first memory cell; and in response to the first memory cell reaching a program verify voltage, causes an inhibit of the first memory cell from further programming.

Abstract: Operations include monitoring a logical level of a first pin of the plurality of pins while a data burst is active, wherein the first pin is associated with at least one of a read enable signal or a data strobe signal, determining whether a period of time during which the logical level of the first pin is held at a first logical level satisfies a threshold condition, in response to determining that the period of time satisfies the threshold condition, continuing to monitor the logical level of the first pin, determining whether the logical level of the first pin changed from the first logical level to a second logical level, and in response to determining that the logical level of the first pin changed from the first logical to the second logical level, causing warmup cycles to be performed.

Abstract: Memory devices might include an array of memory cells, a plurality of access lines, and control logic. The array of memory cells includes a plurality of strings of series-connected memory cells. Each access line of the plurality of access lines is connected to a control gate of a respective memory cell of each string of series-connected memory cells of the plurality of strings of series-connected memory cells. The control logic is configured to: open the array of memory cells for multiple read operations; read first page data from respective memory cells coupled to a selected access line of the plurality of access lines; read second page data from the respective memory cells coupled to the selected access line; and close the array of memory cells subsequent to reading the first page data and the second page data.

Abstract: A memory device includes a page cache comprising a cache register, a memory array configured with a plurality of memory planes, and control logic, operatively coupled with the memory array. The control logic receives, from a requestor, a cache release command indicating that data associated with a first subset of the plurality of memory planes and pertaining to a previous read command was received by the requestor. Responsive to the cache release command, the control logic returns to the requestor, data from the cache register and associated with a second subset of the plurality of memory planes and pertaining to the previous read command, while concurrently copying data associated with the first subset of the plurality of memory planes and pertaining to a subsequent read command into the cache register.
