Abstract
Methods, systems, and devices for scrub rate control for a memory device are described. For example, during a scrub operation, a memory device may perform an error correction operation on data read from a memory array of the memory device. The memory device may determine a quantity of errors detected or corrected during the scrub operation and determine a condition of the memory array based on the quantity of errors. The memory device may indicate the determined condition of the memory array to a host device. In some cases, the memory device may perform scrub operations based on one or more condition of the memory array. For example, as a condition of the memory array deteriorates, the memory device may perform scrub operations at an increased rate.
