READ DISTURB MANAGEMENT FOR MEMORY - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17931416 titled 'READ DISTURB MANAGEMENT FOR MEMORY
Simplified Explanation
Methods, systems, and devices for read disturb management for memory are described in the patent application. The memory system reads data from a virtual block of memory, starting with the first page. If errors are detected, it moves on to the next page until a page with no (or few) errors is found, then refreshes the pages.
- Data is read from a virtual block of memory.
- If errors are detected, data is read from the next page.
- This process continues until a page with no (or few) errors is found.
- The memory system then refreshes the pages.

Original Abstract Submitted
Methods, systems, and devices for read disturb management for memory are described. In some instances, data may be read from a first page of a virtual block of a memory system. If the data includes one or more errors, the memory system may read data from a second page of the virtual block and determine whether one or more errors exist in the data. The memory system may continue reading pages of the virtual block until a page includes no (or relatively few errors). The memory system may then refresh the pages.
