Abstract
A method for performing a media scan operation in a memory device is described herein. The method includes initiating the media scan operation via a controller. The method also includes selecting one or more codewords that is a proper subset of a plurality of codewords in a page of memory via the controller. The method also includes determining a bit error count (BEC) of each of the one or more codewords via the controller. The method also includes comparing the BEC of each of the one or more codewords with a BEC threshold via the controller. The method further includes determining the BEC of each of the codewords of the page of memory via the controller in response to the BEC of one or more of the selected set of codewords being greater than the BEC threshold.
