    摘要: Systems and methods are disclosed for generating dynamic super blocks from one or more grown bad blocks of a non-volatile memory (“NVM”). In some embodiments, a dynamic super block can be formed by striping together a subset of memory locations of grown bad blocks from one or more dies of a NVM. The subset of memory locations may be selected based on at least one reliability measurement of the subset of memory locations. In some embodiments, in response to detecting one or more access failures in a portion of the dynamic super block, the NVM interface can retire at least a portion of the dynamic super block. In some embodiments, the NVM interface can reconstruct a new dynamic super block from the dynamic super block by progressively increasing the size of the new dynamic super block.

    摘要: Systems and methods are disclosed for managing the peak power consumption of a system, such as a non-volatile memory system (e.g., flash memory system). The system can include multiple subsystems and a controller for controlling the subsystems. Each subsystem may have a current profile that is peaky. Thus, the controller may control the peak power of the system by, for example, limiting the number of subsystems that can perform power-intensive operations at the same time or by aiding a subsystem in determining the peak power that the subsystem may consume at any given time.

    摘要: Systems and methods are disclosed for handling read disturbs based on one or more characteristics of read operations performed on a non-volatile memory (“NVM”). In some embodiments, a control circuitry of a system can generate a variable damage value determined based on one or more characteristics of a read operation. Using the damage value, the control circuitry can update a score associated with the block. If the control circuitry determines that the score exceeds a pre-determined threshold, at least a portion of the block can be relocated to a different memory location in the NVM. In some embodiments, portions of the block may be relocated over a period of time.
