A trigger rate associated with a scan operation of a set of memory pages of a data block is identified. The trigger rate is compared to a threshold rate to determine that a condition is satisfied. In response to satisfying the condition, a refresh operation is executed on the set of memory pages of the data block.

Executing a refresh operation in a memory sub-system

A processing device detects a read operation at a memory device that is directed at a word line group from among multiple word line groups of the memory device. The processing device increments a read counter associated with the word line group based on the read operation being directed at the word line group. The processing device determines the read counter exceeds a read-disturb threshold and performs read-disturb handling on the word line group in response to determining the read counter exceeds the read-disturb threshold.

Word line group read counters

Devices and techniques for temperature informed memory refresh are described herein. A temperature counter can be updated in response to a memory device write performed under an extreme temperature. Here, the write is performed on a memory device element in the memory device. The memory device element can be sorted above other memory device elements in the memory device based on the temperature counter. Once sorted to the top of these memory device elements, a refresh can be performed the memory device element.

Temperature informed memory refresh

A processing device in a memory system receives a first read request from a host system, wherein the first read request is directed to first data stored at a first address in a block of the memory component. The processing device determines that the first address is located within a first region of the block and increments a read counter for the block by a default amount. The processing device further receives a second read request from the host system, wherein the second read request is directed to second data stored at a second address in a block of the memory component, determines that the second address is located within a second region of the block and increments the read counter for the block by a scaled amount.

Read count scaling factor for data integrity scan

Systems and methods are disclosed, comprising a memory device comprising multiple groups of memory cells, the groups comprising a first group of memory cells and a second group of memory cells configured to store information at a same bit capacity per memory cell, and a processing device operably coupled to the memory device, the processing device configured to adjust a scan event threshold for one of the first or second groups of memory cells to a threshold less than a target scan event threshold for the first and second groups of memory cells to distribute scan events in time on the memory device.

Adjusting scan event thresholds to mitigate memory errors

NAND memory devices are described that utilize higher read-margin cell types to provide a more granular read disturb indicator without utilizing dummy cells. For example, a NAND architecture may have some cells that are configured as SLC or MLC cells. SLC or MLC cells have more read disturb margin&#x2014;that is these cells can withstand more read disturb current leakage into the cell before a bit error occurs than TLC or QLC cells. These higher margin cells may serve as the read disturb indicator for a group of cells that have a comparatively lower read disturb margin. Since there are more pages of these higher margin cells than there are pages of dummy cells, these indicators may serve a smaller group of pages than the dummy pages. This reduces the time needed to complete a read disturb scan as fewer pages need to be scanned.

SLC page read

Systems and methods are disclosed including a memory device and a processing device operatively coupled to the memory device. The processing device can perform operations including performing a first data integrity check on memory pages of a first set of wordlines of the memory device; performing a second data integrity check on memory pages of a second set of wordlines comprising a plurality of wordlines from the first set of wordlines; identifying, among the first set of wordlines and the second set of wordlines, a wordline having a first data state metric value obtained from the first data integrity check equal to a second data state metric value obtained from the second data integrity check; and performing a third data integrity check on a third set of wordlines comprising at least one wordline from the first set of wordlines, wherein the third data integrity check excludes the identified wordline.

Selective wordline scans based on a data state metric

A memory device may receive a read request describing a logical address at the memory device. The memory device may obtain a table entry associated with the logical address. The table entry comprises a physical address corresponding to the logical address and a write temperature data indicating a write temperature for the logical address. The memory device may determine a corrected threshold voltage for reading the physical address based at least in part on the write temperature data and read the physical address using the corrected threshold voltage.

Temperature correction in memory sub-systems

A first scan operation of a set of memory pages of a data block is performed using a first reliability threshold level to identify a set of scan results. A workload type associated with the data block is determined based on the set of scan results. The first reliability threshold level is adjusted to a second reliability threshold level based on the workload type. A second scan operation of the set of memory pages of the data block is performed using the second reliability threshold level.

Adjusting a reliability scan threshold in a memory sub-system

Disclosed in some examples, are methods, systems, and machine readable mediums which compensate for read-disturb effects by shifting the read voltages used to read the value in a NAND cell based upon a read counter. For example, the NAND memory device may have a read counter that corresponds to a group of NAND cells (e.g., a page, a block, a superblock). Anytime a NAND cell in the group is read, the read counter may be incremented. The read voltage, Vread, may be adjusted based on the read counter to account for the read disturb voltage.

Block read count voltage adjustment

A memory block of a non-volatile memory device is identified. The memory block has a first region and a second region, where a storage density of the first region is larger than the second region. Data is programmed at the first region of the memory block. An attribute of the memory block based on a sensor is received during programming of the data at the memory block. The attribute characterizes the data being programmed at the first region. The attribute is stored at a volatile during programming of the data at the memory block. The attribute is stored on a memory page of the second region responsive to the programming of the data at the first region being complete.

Storing page write attributes

Systems and methods are disclosed including a memory device and a processing device operatively coupled to the memory device. The processing device can perform operations including identifying, among a first plurality of wordlines of a set of pages of the memory device, at least one wordline having a current value of a data state metric satisfying a first condition; determining new values of the data state metric of a second plurality of wordlines of the set of pages, wherein the at least one wordline is excluded from the second plurality of wordlines; and responsive to determining that the new values of the data state metric of one or more wordlines of the second plurality of wordlines satisfy a second condition, performing a media management operation with respect to the one or more wordlines.
