Abstract: A refreshing method is described. The method includes recognizing a set of blocks of a non-volatile memory for refreshing and then refreshing a subset of the data within the blocks, where, invalid data within the blocks is not recognized for refreshing and a group of blocks whose oldest data has not aged for a pre-set time period is not recognized for refreshing.

Abstract: In an embodiment, a memory controller may determine that one or more neighboring memory cells associated with a target memory cell in a memory device are to be refreshed. The controller may generate a command associated with refreshing the one or more neighboring memory cells. The controller may transfer the command from the memory controller to the memory device containing the target memory cell. The command may direct the memory device to refresh the neighboring memory cells and/or return one or more addresses associated with the neighboring memory cells.

Abstract: Provided are an apparatus, memory controller and method for performing a block erase operation with respect to a non-volatile memory. A command is generated to perform a portion of the block erase operation. At least one read or write operation is performed after executing the command. An additional instance of the command is executed in response to determining that the block erase operation did not complete after performing the at least one read or write operation.
