Abstract
Methods, systems, and devices for multi-level cell maintenance operations are described. A controller of a memory device may perform a two-portion maintenance operation in order to transfer data from a first block of memory cells to a second block of memory cells. For example, during a first portion of the maintenance operation, the controller may read first data from the first block of memory cells and perform a first error control operation to correct the first data. The controller may store second data associated with the first error control operation to volatile memory of the memory device in response to performing the first error control operation. During a second portion of the maintenance operation, the controller may perform a second error control operation using the second data associated with the first error control operations stored to the volatile memory of the memory device.
