Methods, systems, and devices for techniques for enhanced system performance after retention loss are described. A memory system may program a page of memory cells in response to receiving a power down notification. As part of the programming, the memory system may record an indication of a voltage threshold of the page and power down for a duration of time, during which the memory system may experience retention loss. Upon powering on, the memory device may compare the voltage threshold of the page to the indication stored prior to powering down and determine a voltage offset for one or more blocks of the memory system. In some cases, the memory system may use the voltage offset to determine a starting bin, and may initiate a bin scan to determine a final bin for the one or more blocks.

A data storage device includes a flash memory, a voltage detection device, and a controller. The flash memory is arranged to store data. The voltage detection device is arranged to detect a supply voltage received by the data storage device. The controller is configured to receive write commands from a host, and perform a prohibition mode when the supply voltage is outside a predetermined range, wherein the write command is arranged to enable the controller to write the flash memory, and the controller is further configured to disable all of the write commands received from the host in the prohibition mode.

An apparatus includes logic to determine a discharge drop of a capacitor and to adjust an enablement charge level of the capacitor according to the discharge drop.

Upon detecting power loss during the process of programming multi-level cell (MLC) memory in a storage system, the storage system takes steps to prevent data loss. In one example, the controller sends a graceful shutdown command to the memory, in response to which the memory aborts the ongoing programming operation and stores data from data latches associated with unprogrammed memory cells in single-level cell (SLC) memory. The memory can also store data from programmed memory cells in the SLC memory. The data to be programmed in the MLC memory can be reconstructed prior to powering down the storage system or after the storage system is powered back up. The reconstructed data can then be programmed in the MLC memory.

Embodiments of systems and methods that ensure integrity of data during unexpected power interruption of loss are disclosed. In some embodiments, critical data is saved quickly and efficiently using backup power. Data integrity is ensured even when the reliability of backup power sources is an issue. In some embodiments, by skipping the updating and saving of system data while operating on backup power, significant reduction of time for saving critical data can be achieved. System data can be restored next time the data storage system is restarted. Improvements of data storage system reliability are thereby attained.

Apparatus, media, methods, and systems for data storage systems and methods for improved recovery after a write abort event are described. A data storage system may comprise a non-volatile memory device, having one or more wordlines configured to receive a read level voltage, and a controller. The controller is configured to detect whether a write abort event occurred for the data storage system. The controller is configured to determine a first voltage offset based on one or more of a wear-level indication of the non-volatile memory device, or one or more voltage parameters of the non-volatile memory device. The controller is configured to determine, based on the first voltage offset, an adjusted read level voltage. The controller is configured to apply the adjusted read level voltage to a wordline of the non-volatile memory device. The controller is configured to read data, based on the applied adjusted read level voltage, from the wordline of the non-volatile memory device.

A memory system includes: a memory device comprising a plurality of memory dies, each memory die including a plurality of planes, each plane including a plurality of memory blocks, each memory block including a plurality of pages, each page including a plurality of memory cells in which data is stored; and a controller suitable for, after a first time when the memory system in a power-on state performs a program operation corresponding to a write command received from a host, on first pages of the memory blocks, and records program information on the program operation in a list, in the case where power off occurs at a second time while the memory system performs a program operation on second pages of the memory blocks, checking the program information recorded in the list after the memory system is changed from a power-off state to the power-on state at a third time and performing a recovery operation for the memory blocks for which a program operation was not completed due do the power off.

A media management operation to write data from a source block of a cache memory to a set of pages of a destination block of a storage area of a memory sub-system that is at a higher data density than the cache memory a write request to program data to a memory device of a memory sub-system is executed. An entry of a first data structure identifying a page count corresponding to the source block of the cache memory is generated. Following a determination that the data is written to the set of pages of the destination block of the storage area, the entry is updated to identify a decreased page count corresponding to the source block, where the data is erased from the source block when the decreased page count satisfies a condition. A second entry of a second data structure including information mapping a logical block to the source block of the cache memory is also updated.

Techniques are provided for improved restart of a system. In an example, a system can alternate storing a status register value or state to two or more non-volatile memory locations. Upon a power interruption and restart, the value of the status register can be restored to a state very close to or commensurate with a last occurring state even if a write operation to one of the non-volatile memory locations resulted an inaccurate saving of that state of the status register.

Provided are a power failure protection method and solid state drive (SSD) The SSD comprises: a power-failure detection device, for monitoring in real time whether the power supply is abnormal; a power-failure protection device performs a power-failure protection operation when the power supply is monitored to be abnormal: breaking a connection with a host system bus, an SSD internal clock breaking from a system bus clock and writing data in the SSD cache into a storage unit of the SSD by using the SSD internal clock. The technical solution ensures completion of the data protection operations by utilizing a remaining capacity, thus ensuring data integrity.
