Methods, systems, and devices for compression and decompression of trim data are described. A memory system may store one or more trim settings to a volatile memory in a compressed manner, and may expand (e.g., decompress) the data as part of a write operation to a non-volatile memory (e.g., during a start-up procedure). For example, compressed (e.g., non-expanded) data including trim settings may be stored to a volatile memory, and a portion of the array of volatile memory cells may be temporarily allocated to expand the data (e.g., copy the data, invert the data, copy the inverted data). Once the data is expanded, it may be stored in the non-volatile memory, and the temporarily allocated portion of the array of volatile memory cells may be reallocated (e.g., allocated for another purpose). The expanded data may include multiple copies and inverted copies of the trim settings.
