Abstract
Several embodiments of systems incorporating memory sub-systems are disclosed herein. In one embodiment, a memory sub-system can include a memory component and a processing device configured to perform a background scan on a memory region of the memory component. In some embodiments, the background scan includes generating a bit error count (BEC) of a codeword saved on the memory region and saving statistical information corresponding to the BEC of the codeword to a histogram statistics log. In some embodiments, when the BEC of the codeword is greater than a BEC threshold, a refresh operation is scheduled for the memory region and/or logged. In these and other embodiments, when one or more error recovery error correction code (ECC) operations do not correct bit errors in the codeword, a refresh and/or retirement operation is schedule for the memory region and/or is logged.
