    Abstract: A selection device includes a multiplexer component, an input channel configured to couple at least the multiplexer to the memory sub-system controller, and a set of output channels coupled to the multiplexer component. Each of the set of output channels is further coupled to a respective memory device of a set of memory devices. Each of the set of output channels is configured to transmit data between the multiplexer component and the respective memory device. The selection device further includes a decoder component that is coupled to the input channel and each of the set of memory devices. The decoder component is configured to receive, from the memory sub-system controller via the input channel, a signal including a first signal portion configured to enable the decoder component and a second signal portion configured to identify a particular output channel of the set of output channels that is to transmit the data between the multiplexer component and the corresponding memory device. The decoder component is to decode the received signal and transmit the decoded signal to each of the set of memory devices. The decoded signal is to enable the transmission of the data between the multiplexer and the corresponding memory device via the particular output channel.

    Abstract: A processing device determines a duration for executing a portion of an erase operation based on a plurality of execution times of erase operations performed on a memory device. The processing device executes the portion of the erase operation. Responsive to detecting expiration of the duration for executing the erase operation, the processing logic executes an erase suspend operation to suspend the erase operation. Responsive to detecting completion of the erase suspend operation, the processing logic executes one or more commands. The processing device further executes an erase resume operation to resume the erase operation on the memory device.

    Abstract: A read command to read a target memory die of a memory sub-system is received from a host system via a host-side interface of an active input/output (I/O) expander. The active I/O expander identifies a page address corresponding to the target memory die and decodes the read command to send to a memory stack associated with the page address corresponding to the target memory die. Read data is received via a memory-side interface of the active I/O expander from the memory stack including the target memory die. A signal conditioning operation is performed on the read data to generate conditioned read data. The active I/O expander sends, via the host-side interface, the conditioned read data to the host system.

    Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure provide systems and methods for managing configuration, timing, and power parameters in memory sub-systems through the allocation of an I/O expander at a position between the controller and a drive that comprises a plurality of NAND dies. In particular, a memory controller is coupled to a drive with an I/O expander, and the I/O expander is assigned a LUN address of one or more memory components of the drive. A user or administrator of the host system can generate requests to configure target features of memory components of the drive by causing the I/O expander to decouple portions of the drive to provide a logical pathway between the memory controller and one or more memory components through reference to the corresponding LUN addresses.

    Abstract: One or more requests are received from a host system while a media management scan is in progress on a memory component in a memory sub-system. The media management scan in progress is suspended. The request received from the host system are serviced. Once the host system is serviced, the media management scan is resumed on the memory component.

    Abstract: 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.
