Abstract:
Systems, methods, and apparatus including computer-readable mediums for managing data arrangement in a super block in a memory such as NAND flash memory are provided. In one aspect, a memory controller includes control circuitry coupled to the memory having at least two planes of physical blocks and configured to determine one or more characteristics of data to be written, allocate a super page of a super block based on the determined characteristics of the data and block information of the physical blocks of the planes, the super block combining one or more physical blocks from the planes, the super page combining one or more single pages from the corresponding one or more physical blocks in the super block, arrange the data to the one or more single pages in the super page, and program the super page to write the data in the one or more single pages.
