摘要: The present disclosure includes methods and devices for memory block selection. In one or more embodiments, a memory controller includes control circuitry coupled to one or more memory devices having multiple Groups of planes associated therewith, each Group including at least two planes of physical blocks organized into Super Blocks, with each Super Block including a physical block from each of the at least two planes. The control circuitry is configured to receive a first unassigned logical block address (LBA) associated with a write operation and determine a particular free Super Block within a selected one of the multiple Groups to receive data associated with the write operation.

摘要: Various embodiments include one or more memory devices having at least two planes of physical blocks organized into super blocks, with each super block including a physical block from each of the at least two planes. Embodiments include determining defective blocks within the planes. If none of the blocks at a particular block position are determined to be defective, embodiments include assigning the blocks at the particular block position to a super block, and if one or more of the blocks at a particular block position are determined to be defective, embodiments include: assigning the blocks at the particular block position determined to be defective to a super block; and assigning a respective replacement block to the super block for each of the one or more blocks at the particular block position determined to be defective. The respective replacement block is selected from a number of blocks within a respective one of the planes that includes the respective block determined to be defective.
