Abstract

Aspects of the present disclosure configure a memory sub-system controller to detect extrinsic bitline defects. The controller stores a set of data in a set of memory components and performs a set of memory operations for detecting an empty page in a portion of the set of memory components. The controller determines, based on performing the set of memory operations, that the portion of the set of memory components is associated with an extrinsic bitline defect. The controller, in response to determining that the portion of the set of memory components is associated with the extrinsic bitline defect, prevents write operations to the portion of the set of memory components.
