Disclosed herein is an apparatus that includes a plurality of column planes each including a plurality of bit lines, an access control circuit configured to select one of the plurality of bit lines in each of the plurality of column planes based on a column address to read a plurality of data-bits, a data generating circuit configured to generate an expected-bit based at least in part on the data-bits, and an analyzing circuit configured to generate a fail-bit data indicating which one of the data-bits does not match the expected-bit when one of the data-bits does not match the expected-bit.

A memory device may include a pin for communicating feedback regarding a supply voltage to a power management component, such as a power management integrated circuit (PMIC). The memory device may bias the pin to a first voltage indicating that a supply voltage is within a target range. The memory device may subsequently determine that a supply voltage is outside the target range and transition the voltage at the pin from the first voltage to a second voltage indicating that the supply voltage is outside the target range. The memory device may select the second voltage based on whether the supply voltage is above or below the target range.

Disclosed herein are methods, apparatuses and systems related to adjusting operation of memory dies according to reliability measures determined in real-time. The apparatus may be configured to determine the reliability measures based on (1) initiating and completing a programming operation within respective timings following an erase operation and (2) reading the programmed data within a window from completing the programming operation.

Exemplary methods, apparatuses, and systems include receiving a plurality of read operations. The read operations are divided into a current set of a sequence of read operations and one or more other sets. The size of the current set is a first number of read operations. An aggressor read operation is selected from the current set. A first data integrity scan is performed on a victim of the aggressor and a first indicator of data integrity is determined based on the first data integrity scan. In response to determining the first indicator of data integrity is greater than a current maximum value, the current maximum value is set to the first indicator of data integrity. In response to determining the current maximum value satisfies a threshold value, a size of a subsequent set of read operations is set to a second number, which less than the first number.

A read technique for both SLC (single level cell) and MLC (multi-level cell) cross-point memory can mitigate drift-related errors with minimal or no drift tracking. In one example, a read at a higher magnitude voltage is applied first, which causes the drift for cells in a lower threshold voltage state to be reset. In one example, the read at the first voltage can be a full float read to minimize disturb. A second read can then be performed at a lower voltage without the need to adjust the read voltage due to drift.

A method for operating a memory includes: performing an error check operation; detecting N bad sections during the error check operation, where N is an integer equal to or greater than 1; stopping the error check operation in response to the detecting of the N bad sections; transferring information on the N bad sections to a memory controller; and resuming the error check operation in response to the transferring of the information on the N bad sections to a memory controller.

A memory controller receives a multi-plane read request and identifies a set of actual read offsets for a set of pages in the multi-plane read request. The memory controller calculates a common read offset using the set of actual read offsets. The memory controller calculates an offset difference for. Each page. Each offset difference reflects the difference between an actual read offset for that page and the common read offset. The memory controller compares a particular page's offset difference to an offset difference threshold. The memory controller categorizes, based on the comparing, a first subset of pages from the set of pages into a single plane group and a second subset of pages from the set of pages into a multi-plane group. The memory controller performs a multi-plane read on the multi-plane group.

A memory system includes a memory medium and a memory controller. The memory medium has a second address system that is different from a first address system of a host. The memory controller performs a control operation to access the memory medium based on a command from the host. The memory controller is configured to store a second address, corresponding to an address of a read data, when an error of the read data that is outputted from the memory medium is uncorrectable and is configured to repair a region of the memory medium, designated by the second address, when the region of the memory medium that is designated by the second address is repairable.

Methods, systems, and devices for data compression for global column repair are described. In some cases, a testing device may perform a first internal read operation to identify errors associated with on one or more column planes. A value (e.g., a bit) indicating whether an error occurred when testing each column plane may be stored. The testing device may perform a second internal read operation on the same column planes, or on column planes of a different bank of memory cells. The values (e.g., bits) indicating whether errors occurred during the first internal read operation and the values indicating whether errors occurred during the second internal read operation may be combined and stored in a register. The stored values may be read out (e.g., as a burst) to repair the defective column planes.

Methods, systems, and devices for setting switching for single-level cells (SLCs) are described. A memory system may receive an access command from a host. The access command may correspond to an SLC block or to a multiple-level cell block. If the access command corresponds to an SLC block, the memory system may modify the access command to include one or more bits indicating a setting to use for performing the access operation corresponding to the access command. The setting may define one or more operating parameters for performing the access operation. The memory system may use bits to indicate the setting that are used to indicate a page address for multiple-level cell blocks. The memory system may issue the access command to a memory device, which may perform the access operation using the setting indicated in the one or more bits included by the memory system.
