Abstract

Methods, systems, and devices for filler symbols for data bursts are described. A memory device may insert filler symbols into a stream of data symbols. For example, after transmitting a last data symbol of a data burst, a device may insert one or more filler symbols to maintain an active data burst. The device may randomize the transmission of filler symbols within the data burst. In some cases, the device may randomly select filler symbols from a variety of symbol types, therefore randomizing which one of the symbols is transmitted. In some other cases, the device may randomize the representation of filler symbols within an encoding scheme.
