Aspects of the present disclosure configure a memory sub-system controller to adaptively allocate word lines (WLs). The controller accesses reliability data of a set of main WLs of a block of the set of memory components. The controller determines that one or more WLs of the set of main WLs of the block are associated with respective reliability data that transgress a threshold and, in response to determining that the one or more WLs are associated with the respective reliability data that transgress the threshold, replaces the one or more WLs of the set of main WLs of the block with one or more dummy WLs. The controller programs data into the block using the one or more dummy WLs instead of the one or more WLs of the set of main WLs of the block.

Dynamic word line allocation in memory systems

Methods, systems, and devices for suspend operations are described. A memory device may perform a write operation including one or more programming phases and one or more verify phases. The memory device may receive a read command while performing the write operation and determine whether the verify phase of the write operation is complete. The memory device may suspend a performance of the write operation in response to determining that the verify phase of the write operation is complete. The memory device may transmit first information for the write operation from a first latch to a volatile memory device in response to suspending the performance of the write operation. The memory device may perform a read operation associated with the read command in response to suspending the performance of the write operation and transferring the first information.

Techniques for suspend operations

Various embodiments provide for adjusting (or adapting) a program voltage step used to program a memory cell by a program algorithm after the program algorithm resumes from a suspension, where the program voltage step is adjusted (or adapted) based on one or more factors.
