    摘要: A variety of applications can include use of parity groups in a memory system with the parity groups arranged for data protection of the memory system. Each parity group can be structured with multiple data pages in which to write data and a parity page in which to write parity data generated from the data written in the multiple data pages. Each data page of a parity group can have storage capacity to include metadata of data written to the data page. Information can be added to the metadata of a data page with the information identifying an asynchronous power loss status of data pages that precede the data page in an order of writing data to the data pages of the parity group. The information can be used in re-construction of data in the parity group following an uncorrectable error correction code error in writing to the parity group.

    摘要: A variety of applications can include apparatus and/or methods that provide parity data protection to data in a memory system for a limited period of time and not stored as permanent parity data in a non-volatile memory. Parity data can be accumulated in a volatile memory for data programmed via a group of access lies having a specified number of access lines in the group. A read verify can be issued to selected pages after programming finishes at the end of programming via the access lines of the group. With the programming of the data determined to be acceptable at the end of programming via the last of the access lines of the group, the parity data in the volatile memory can be discarded and accumulation can begin for a next group having a specified number of access lines. Additional apparatus, systems, and methods are disclosed.

    摘要: Disclosed in some examples are systems, methods, memory devices, and machine readable mediums for a fast secure data destruction for NAND memory devices that renders data in a memory cell unreadable. Instead of going through all the erase phases, the memory device may remove sensitive data by performing only the pre-programming phase of the erase process. Thus, the NAND doesn't perform the second and third phases of the erase process. This is much faster and results in data that cannot be reconstructed. In some examples, because the erase pulse is not actually applied and because this is simply a programming operation, data may be rendered unreadable at a per-page level rather than a per-block level as in traditional erases.

    摘要: Devices and techniques for managing partial superblocks in a NAND device are described herein. A set of superblock candidates is calculated. Here, a superblock may have a set of blocks that share a same position in each plane in each die of a NAND array of the NAND device. A set of partial super block candidates is also calculated. A partial superblock candidate is a superblock candidate that has at least one plane that has a bad block. A partial superblock use classification may then be obtained. Superblocks may be established for the NAND device by using members of the set of superblock candidates after removing the set of partial superblock candidates from the set of superblock candidates. Partial superblocks may then be established for classes of data in the NAND device according to the partial superblock use classification.
