SCAN OPTIMIZATION USING DATA SELECTION ACROSS WORDLINE OF A MEMORY ARRAY

Abstract:

A system includes a memory array with sub-blocks, each sub-block having groups of memory cells. A processing device, operatively coupled with the memory array, is to perform operations including performing, after a wordline is programmed through the sub-blocks, scanning of the wordline. The scanning includes selecting, to sample first data of the wordline, a first group of the groups of memory cells of a first sub-block of the sub-blocks; selecting, to sample second data of the wordline, a second group of the groups of memory cells of a second sub-block of the sub-blocks; concurrently reading the first data from the first group and the second data from the second group of the groups of memory cells; and performing an error check of the wordline using the first data and the second data.
