Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for device reset alert mechanism are described. The memory system may identify a fault condition associated with resetting the memory system and set, in a register associated with event alerts of the memory system, a first indication for a reset of the memory system. In some cases, the memory system may transmit a message that includes a second indication that the register associated with event alerts of the memory system has been changed based on setting the register. The memory system may reset one or more components of the memory system based on the first indication and the second indication.

Abstract: 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.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for techniques to perform a write operation are described. In response to receiving a sequential write command from a host system, the memory system may determine non-linear offsets for a set of requests for portions of the data. The memory system may determine a first subset of the data that includes data segments having logical addresses with gaps corresponding to the offset between the data segments to store in a first memory device. The memory system may store the first subset in a buffer and program the first subset to the first memory device. Additionally, the memory system may determine a second subset of data that using the offset and may transmit a second set of requests for the second subset of data, which may be stored in the buffer and programmed to a second memory device.

Abstract: An example memory subsystem includes a memory component and a processing device, operatively coupled to the memory component. The processing device is configured to receive a plurality of logical-to-physical (L2P) records, wherein an L2P record of the plurality of L2P records maps a logical block address to a physical address of a memory block on the memory component; determine a sequential assist value specifying a number of logical block addresses that are mapped to consecutive physical addresses sequentially following the physical address specified by the L2P record; generate a security token encoding the sequential assist value; and associate the security token with the L2P record.

Abstract: A memory device includes a hardware suspend mechanism configured to place a component of a memory controller into a lower power mode while a memory operation is being completed. A timer is provided to wakeup the CPU out of the lower power mode; and hardware interrupts can be used in determining to either enter or wake from the lower power mode. Memory monitoring circuitry is provided to estimate the duration of memory operations; and timers are provided to wake the component in the absence of hardware interrupts or additional commands.

Abstract: A memory device comprises a memory array including memory cells, a communication interface to a host device, and a memory control unit operatively coupled to the memory array and the communication interface. The memory control unit is configured to generate a scrambler seed and a logical block address (LBA) for a block of write data received via the communication interface, scramble the block of data using the scrambler seed, encrypt the scrambler seed and the LBA using an encryption key, initiate writing a scrambled block of data and encrypted LBA and scrambler seed to the memory array, and change the encryption key in response to an erase command received via the communication interface.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for serial pass-through techniques for memory device interfaces are described. Memory interface circuitry may be configured to receive a command via a first interface having a first set of terminals to configure the memory interface circuitry for a pass-through mode. As part of the pass-through mode, the memory interface circuitry may receive data from an external device via the first interface and output the data to one or more memory devices via a second interface having a second set of terminals. In some examples, the received data may be associated with a write burst, in which the memory interface circuitry may serially receive multiple portions of the data to write to a buffer of the memory interface circuitry. After reaching a threshold quantity of data, the buffer may output the portions of the data to the one or more memory devices via the second interface.
