Probability-based remedial action for read disturb effects
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A data storage device comprising:
- a memory including a first word line and a second word line; and
a controller, wherein the controller is configured to access data from the first word line, to determine, based on a probability threshold, if a remedial action is to be performed with respect to the second word line, and if the remedial action is determined to be performed, to initiate the remedial action with respect to;
data stored in the second word line, and a different word line.

The data is located within a first word line of the memory. The method includes accessing the data from the first word line and determining, based on a probability threshold, whether to perform a remedial action with respect to a second word line.

12. A data storage device comprising:
-
a memory including a first word line and a second word line; and a controller, the controller configured to access data from the first word line, to determine based on a probability threshold if a remedial action is to be performed with respect to the second word line, the probability threshold based on a read disturb threshold associated with the second word line, and if the remedial action is determined to be performed, to initiate the remedial action with respect to;
data stored in the second word line, and a different word line. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14)
