    Abstract: A memory device includes a plurality of memory cells, a token input interface, a token output interface and control circuitry. The control circuitry is configured to accept a storage command, to condition execution of at least a part of the storage command on a presence of a token pulse on the token input interface, to execute the storage command, including the conditioned part, in the memory cells upon reception of the token pulse on the token input interface, and to reproduce the token pulse on the token output interface upon completion of the execution.

    Abstract: A method includes, in a non-volatile memory that includes multiple memory blocks, defining a redundancy zone that includes at least an old parity block, a new parity block and multiple active blocks of which one block is defined as an open block. Data is stored in the redundancy zone and the stored data is protected, such that new input data is stored in the open block, redundancy information for the active blocks including the open block is stored in the new parity block, and the redundancy information for the active blocks excluding the open block is stored in the old parity block. Upon filling the open block and the new parity block, an alternative block is assigned to serve as the open block and the new parity block is assigned to serve as the old parity block.

    Abstract: A method for data storage includes encoding input data with an Error Correction Code (ECC), to produce encoded data. The encoded data is formatted in a super-frame consisting of a given number of burst sequences arranged in parallel, each burst sequence consisting of one or more bursts of multiple bytes of the encoded data. The burst sequences of the super-frame are stored in respective memory devices over a single data bus having a bus width, in bytes, that is equal to the given number.

    Abstract: A data storage system includes a plurality of non-volatile memory devices arranged in one or more sets, a main controller and one or more processors. The main controller is configured to accept commands from a host and to convert the commands into recipes. Each recipe includes a list of multiple memory operations to be performed sequentially in the non-volatile memory devices belonging to one of the sets. Each of the processors is associated with a respective set of the non-volatile memory devices, and is configured to receive one or more of the recipes from the main controller and to execute the memory operations specified in the received recipes in the non-volatile memory devices belonging to the respective set.
