Abstract

A processing device of a memory sub-system is configured to sort a plurality of blocks of the memory device; divide the sorted plurality of blocks into a plurality of block segments; scan a first block at a first boundary of a first block segment of the plurality of block segments; scan a second block at a second boundary of the first block segment; identify, based on a scanning result of the first block, a first voltage bin associated with the first block; identify, based on a second scanning result of the second block, a second voltage bin associated with the second block; and responsive to determining that the first voltage bin matches the second voltage bin, assign the first voltage bin to each block of a subset of the plurality of blocks assigned to the first block segment.
