    Abstract: A method includes causing a first set of memory cells, associated with a first wordline of a memory array, to be programmed with a first set of threshold voltage distributions; causing a second set of memory cells, associated with a second wordline adjacent to the first wordline, to be programmed with a second set of threshold voltage distributions; after programming the second set of cells, causing the first set of memory cells to be coarse programmed with an intermediate third set of threshold voltage distributions that is at least twice in number compared to the first set; and causing the first set of memory cells to be fine programmed with a final third set of threshold voltage distributions. At least some threshold voltage distributions of the final third set of threshold voltage distributions have wider read window margins than those of the intermediate third set of threshold voltage distributions.

    Abstract: A set of host data items is received for programming to the memory subsystem. The set of host data items is programmed to a first region of the memory subsystem that includes one or more memory devices. A determination is made that a sequence at which the set of host data items are programmed across memory devices of the first region does not correspond to a target sequence associated with accessing the set of host data items via the first region. The target sequence corresponds to a sequence that enables a host data items programmed to the memory sub-system to be accessed in parallel. The set of host data items is copied from the first region to a second region of the memory subsystem. A sequence at which the set of host data items is copied to memory devices of the second region corresponds to the target sequence.

    Abstract: Control logic in a memory device identifies a first plurality of groups of programming distributions, wherein each group comprises a subset of programming distributions associated with a portion of a memory array of the memory device configured as quad-level (QLC) memory. During a first pass of a multi-pass programming operation, the control logic coarsely programs memory cells in the portion configured as QLC memory to initial values representing a second plurality of pages of host data and stores, in a portion of the memory array of the memory device configured as single-level cell (SLC) memory, an indicator of the first plurality of groups of programming distributions with which each of the coarsely programmed memory cells is associated. During a second pass of the multi-pass programming operation, the control logic reads the coarsely programmed initial values from the first pass based on the indicator of the first plurality of groups of programming distributions and finely programs the memory cells in the portion configured as QLC memory to final values representing the second plurality of pages of host data.

    Abstract: A method includes receiving, by control logic of a memory device, a copyback clear command from a processing device; causing, in response to the copyback clear command, a page buffer to perform a dual-strobe read operation on first memory cells configured as single-level cells, the dual-strobe read operation including a soft strobe at a first threshold voltage and a hard strobe at a second threshold voltage that are sensed between threshold voltage distributions of the first memory cells; causing the page buffer to determine a number of one bit values within the threshold voltage distributions detected in a threshold voltage range between the first/second threshold voltages; and causing, in response to the number of one bit values not satisfying a threshold criterion, a copyback of data in the first memory cells to second memory cells configured as high-level cells without intervention from the processing device.

    Abstract: A highly read data manager of a memory device receives a request to perform receives a request to perform a data relocation operation on a first wordline of a plurality of wordlines for a memory device, the memory device comprising a plurality of multi-level memory cells, wherein each multi-level memory cell comprises a plurality of pages; determines at the first wordline comprises data stored at one or more high read disturb pages of the plurality of pages; determines whether the data comprises a characteristic that satisfies a threshold criterion in relation to additional data stored on additional wordlines of the plurality of wordlines; responsive to determining that the data comprises the characteristic that satisfies the threshold criterion, identifies one or more low read disturb pages of the plurality of pages of a target wordline for relocating the data; and responsive to identifying the one or more low read disturb pages of the target wordline, stores at least a portion of the data at the one or more low read disturb pages of the target wordline.
