Modifying memory bank operating parameters

Methods, systems, and devices for modifying memory bank operating parameters are described. Operating parameter(s) may be individually adjusted for memory banks or memory bank groups within a memory system based on trimming information. The local trimming information for a memory bank or memory bank group may be stored in a fuse set that also stores repair information for the particular memory bank or in a fuse set that also stores repair information for a memory bank in the particular memory bank group. The local trimming information may be applied to operating parameters for particular memory banks or memory bank groups relative to or instead of global adjustments applied to operating parameters of multiple or all of the memory banks in the memory system.
