Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for memory operations are described. A memory system may write data to sequential physical addresses of the memory system based on receiving multiple write commands, where the sequential physical addresses may be associated with sequential logical addresses. Based on writing the data, the memory system may receive a read command for data stored in the memory system, where the read command may include a logical address. The memory system may determine a physical address of the memory system where the data is stored based on the received logical address, a last logical address written at the memory system, and a sequence number group associated with the last logical address. Based on determining the physical address, the memory system may read the data stored at the physical address.

Abstract: A variety of applications can include apparatus and/or methods of operating the apparatus in which storage in the memory device is managed. An allocation can include conducting a garbage collection procedure to free up one or more blocks. In various embodiments, execution of a garbage collection procedure can be based on operation of two tables with respect to a logical to physical mapping table split into logical to physical mapping table regions saved in the memory device. The first table can maintain counts of valid pages in blocks for a logical to physical mapping table region. The second table can include bits to identify logical to physical mapping table regions involved in the garbage collection procedure based on the entries in the first table. Search of the second table can determine logical to physical mapping table regions involved in the garbage collection. Additional apparatus, systems, and methods are disclosed.

Abstract: An apparatus can include a partial superblock memory management component. The partial superblock memory management component can identify bad blocks in respective planes of a block of non-volatile memory cells. The partial superblock memory management component can determine that a plane of the respective planes includes at least good block in at least one different block of non-volatile memory cells. The partial superblock memory management component can perform an operation to reallocate the at least one good block in the plane to the at least one bad block in the plane to form blocks of non-volatile memory cells having a quantity of bad blocks that satisfies a bad block threshold.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for setting switching for single-level cells (SLCs) are described. A memory system may receive an access command from a host. The access command may correspond to an SLC block or to a multiple-level cell block. If the access command corresponds to an SLC block, the memory system may modify the access command to include one or more bits indicating a setting to use for performing the access operation corresponding to the access command. The setting may define one or more operating parameters for performing the access operation. The memory system may use bits to indicate the setting that are used to indicate a page address for multiple-level cell blocks. The memory system may issue the access command to a memory device, which may perform the access operation using the setting indicated in the one or more bits included by the memory system.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for integrating a pivot table in a logical-to-physical mapping of a memory system are described. The memory system may receive a read command and read a first entry of a first subset of mapping and a second entry of a second subset of mapping. The second entry may include at least a portion of a pivot table associated with physical addresses of a non-volatile memory device. The memory system may retrieve data from a physical address identified in the pivot table, rather than access a different portion of the logical-to-physical mapping. The memory system may transmit, to a host system, the data retrieved from the physical address identified in the pivot table.

Abstract: Disclosed in some examples are improvements to data placement architectures in NAND that provide additional data protection through an improved NAND data placement schema that allows for recovery from certain failure scenarios. The present disclosure stripes data diagonally across page lines and planes to enhance the data protection. Parity bits are stored in SLC blocks for extra protection until the block is finished writing and then the parity bits may be deleted.

Abstract: A memory device includes a memory array configured with a plurality of memory planes, and control logic, operatively coupled with the memory array. The control logic receives, from a requestor, a plurality of cache read commands requesting first data from the memory array spread across the plurality of memory planes and receives, from the requestor, a cache read context switch command and a snap read command requesting second data from one of the plurality of memory planes of the memory array. Responsive to receiving the cache read context switch command, the control logic suspends processing of the plurality of cache read commands and processes the snap read command to read the second data from the memory array and return the second data to the requestor.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for data relocation operation techniques are described. A memory system may include blocks of memory cells, for example, within a non-volatile memory device of the memory system. The memory system may identify a command to perform a data relocation operation associated with a block of memory cells and may select between a first procedure and a second procedure for performing the data relocation operation. The memory system may select between the first procedure and the second procedure based on whether one or more parameters associated with the data relocation operation satisfy a threshold. For example, the memory system may select the first procedure if the one or more parameters satisfy the threshold and may select the second procedure if the one or more parameters do not satisfy the threshold. The memory system may perform the data relocation operation using the selected procedure.

Abstract: Devices and techniques for NAND logical-to-physical table region tracking are described herein. A write request, including a logical page and data to be written at the logical page, is received at a controller of a NAND device. The NAND controller may then establish an entry in a logical-to-physical (L2P) mapping table between the logical page and a physical page of a physical block of the NAND device to which the data is written. Here, the entry may be in a region of the L2P mapping table that is one of multiple regions. An indication of the region may be written in a data structure corresponding to the physical block.

Abstract: Devices and techniques for synchronizing NAND logical-to-physical table region tracking are described herein. Table region data structures for physical blocks are maintained. These structures include logical-to-physical (L2P) mapping table portions that point to the respective physical blocks. When garbage collection is performed on a block, table region structures for that block, and another (e.g., the next block to be garbage collected) are read to avoid loading L2P table regions that do not point to the block. If any of the read portions of the L2P table region fail to point to either the block or the other block, these L2P table portions are removed from the loaded table region data structures.

A write request, including a logical page and data to be written at the logical page, is received at a controller of a NAND device. The NAND controller may then establish an entry in a logical-to-physical (L2P) mapping table between the logical page and a physical page of a physical block of the NAND device to which the data is written. Here, the entry may be in a region of the L2P mapping table that is one of multiple regions. An indication of the region may be written in a data structure corresponding to the physical block.

Abstract: Devices and techniques for controlling NAND operation latency are described herein. A controlled can receive a write request. The controller can then calculate a number of garbage collection operations to perform on a physical block that is closed. Here, the calculation includes adding a logical-to-physical (L2P) region search ratio to a cadence calculation for garbage collection. Garbage collection operations can be performed on the physical block in accordance with the calculated number of garbage collection operations to perform. Then, the controller can perform the write request in response to completing the calculated number of garbage collection operations.

Abstract: In one approach, a computer storage device has one or more pivot tables and corresponding bit maps stored in volatile memory. The storage device has non-volatile storage media that stores data for a host device. The pivot tables and bit maps are used to determine physical addresses of the non-volatile storage media for logical addresses received in commands from the host device that are determined to be within a sequential address range (e.g., LBAs that are part of a prior sequential write operation by the host device). When a command is received by the storage device that includes a logical address within the sequential address range, then one of the pivot tables and its corresponding bit map are used to determine the physical address of the non-volatile storage media that corresponds to the logical address.

Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed, including, in a storage system comprising control circuitry and a memory array having multiple groups of memory cells, storing a first physical-to-logical (P2L) data structure for a first physical area of a first group of memory cells in a second physical area of the first group of memory cells, such as when resuming operation from a low-power state, including an asynchronous power loss (APL). The first group of memory cells can include a super block of memory cells. A second P2L data structure for the second physical area of the first group of memory cells can be stored, such as in a metadata area of the second physical area and an address of the first P2L data structure can be stored in the second P2L data structure.
