    摘要: An input/output (I/O) command referencing a logical address of a memory sub-system is received by an active input/output expander (AIOE). The I/O command is received from a memory sub-system controller via the AIOE. The AIOE identifies a physical block address corresponding to the logical block address. The AIOE identifies, among a plurality of memory devices, a memory device associated with the physical block address. The AIOE converts the I/O command received via the serial interface to a parallel interface compliant I/O command. The AIOE sends the parallel interface compliant I/O command to the memory device.

    摘要: Methods, systems, and devices for status check using chip enable pin are described. An apparatus may include a memory device, a pin coupled with the memory device, and a driver coupled with the pin and configured to bias the pin to a first a voltage or a second voltage based on a status of the memory device. The status may indicate, for example, whether the memory device is available to receive a command. The driver may bias the pin to a first voltage based on a first status of the memory device indicating that the memory device is busy. Additionally, or alternatively, the driver may bias the pin to a second voltage based on a second status of the memory device indicating that the memory device is available to receive the command. In some cases, the pin may be an example of a chip enable pin.

    摘要: A memory device includes memory dies, each memory die including a memory array and control logic, operatively coupled with the memory array, to perform peak power management (PPM) operations. The PPM operations include receiving a request to perform an operation, determining whether to initiate a PPM priority override procedure, and in response to determining to initiate the PPM priority override procedure, performing the PPM priority override procedure to execute the operation. Performing the PPM priority override procedure includes reconfiguring each high current breakpoints as a respective low current breakpoint to execute the operation.

    摘要: Memory with switchable channels is disclosed herein. In one embodiment, a system comprises a controller, a plurality of memory dies, and a switch matrix. The switch matrix is coupled to the controller via two or more controller-side channels, and to the plurality of memory dies via a set of memory-side channels. The switch matrix is configured to selectively couple each controller-side channel of the two or more controller-side channels to each memory-side channel of the set of memory-side channels to provide dynamically configurable connections between the controller and one or more memory dies of the plurality of memory dies.

    摘要: A local media controller of a first memory device receives a first number of cycles broadcasted by a second memory device via a bus connecting the first memory device and the second memory device. The local media controller initializes a counter associated with the first memory device. Responsive to determining that the value of the counter matches the first number of cycles, the local media controller transmits a status of the first memory device via the bus. Furthermore, responsive to determining that the status is ready, the local media controller sends, to a memory sub-system controller managing the first memory device, a status of a memory region of the first memory device.

    摘要: A memory device includes a memory array of memory cells and control logic operatively coupled with the memory array. The control logic is to perform operations including: initiating a true erase sub-operation by causing an erase pulse to be applied to one or more sub-blocks of the memory array; tracking, a number of suspend commands received from a processing device during time periods that a memory line of the memory array is caused to ramp towards an erase voltage of the erase pulse; causing, in response to receiving each suspend command, the true erase sub-operation to be suspended to enable performing a non-erase memory operation; and in response to the number of suspend commands satisfying a threshold criterion, alerting the processing device to terminate sending suspend commands until after completion of the true erase sub-operation.
