Abstract
Described are memory devices producing metadata characterizing the applied read voltage level with respect to voltage distributions. An example memory sub-system comprises: a memory device comprising a plurality of memory cells; and a controller coupled to the memory device, the controller to perform operations comprising: performing, using a read voltage level, a read strobe with respect to a subset of the plurality of memory cells; and receiving, from the memory device, one or more metadata values characterizing the read voltage level with respect to threshold voltage distributions of the subset of the plurality of memory cells, wherein the one or more metadata values reflect a conductive state of one or more bitlines connected to the subset of the plurality of memory cells.
