Abstract:
A single virtualized ECC NAND controller executes an ECC algorithm and manages a stack of NAND flash memories. The virtualized ECC NAND controller allows the host processor to drive the stack of flash memory devices as a single NAND chip while the controller redirects the data to the selected NAND memory device in the stack.
Abstract:
A memory controller can provide current to a heater in a flash memory to reduce cycling induced errors. If necessary, after heating, the memory may be refreshed. In non-battery powered systems, data may be removed from the memory prior to heating and restored to the memory after heating.
Abstract:
In various embodiments, a single virtualized error correcting code (ECC) NAND controller executes an ECC algorithm and manages a stack of NAND flash memories. The virtualized ECC NAND controller allows the host processor to drive the stack of flash memory devices as a single NAND chip while the controller redirects the data to the selected NAND memory device in the stack. In various embodiments, a controller manages a plurality of NAND memory devices. The controller provides power to a select one of the plurality of NAND memory devices at a time to conserve overall power consumption of the storage system.
Abstract:
Various embodiments disclose a controller to manage memory devices. In an exemplary method, signals are exchanged with a host processor to allow the host processor to communicate with multiple memory devices in a memory stack as a single device, regardless of an actual number of memory devices within the memory stack. Power is provided to a single one of the multiple memory devices in the memory stack at a time to reduce power consumption. Other methods, apparatuses, and devices are also disclosed.

Abstract:
A method and system are disclosed in which a first non-volatile memory includes blocks that store data, and a second memory that stores overhead information related to the blocks storing the data. The amount of the second memory storing the overhead information related to the at least one block of the plurality of blocks is varied.
Abstract:
Embodiments of the present disclosure provide methods, systems, and apparatuses related to multilevel encoding with error correction. In some embodiments, data may be programmed and/or read from a matrix of nonvolatile memory cells with concatenated encoding/decoding schemes. In some embodiments, a calculation module may determine an actual bit per cell value of a given combination of parameters of a nonvolatile memory device. Still other embodiments may be described and claimed.
