Abstract: Devices and techniques for efficient obfuscated logical-to-physical mapping are described herein. For example, activity corresponding to obfuscated regions of an L2P map for a memory device can be tracked. A record of discontinuity between the obfuscated regions and L2P mappings resulting from the activity can be updated. The obfuscated regions can be ordered based on a level of discontinuity from the record of discontinuity. When an idle period is identified, an obfuscated region from the obfuscated regions is selected and refreshed based on the ordering.

Abstract: A variety of applications can include a memory device having a memory die designed to control a power budget for a cache and a memory array of the memory die. A first flag received from a data path identifies a start of a cache operation on the data and a second flag from the data path identifies an end of the cache operation. A controller for peak power management can be implemented to control the power budget based on determination of usage of current associated with the cache from the first and second flags. In various embodiments, the controller can be operable to feedback a signal to a memory controller external to the memory die to adjust an operating speed of an interface from the memory controller to the memory die. Additional devices, systems, and methods are discussed.

For example, a command can be executed that results in a change as to which physical address of a memory device corresponds to a logical address. The change can be obfuscated as part of an obfuscated L2P map for the memory device and written to storage on the memory device. The change can then be provided a host from the storage.

Abstract: A variety of applications can include apparatus and/or methods that provide shared parity protection to data in memory devices of a memory system. Parity data of different data streams programmed into different blocks of one or more memory devices can be overlapped and wrapped into slots of a volatile memory arranged as a storage device for the parity data. A parity, map of parity-to-data reflecting the overlapping of the parity data can be maintained in the volatile memory along with the overlapped parity. The parity map can be updated as parity data is generated from further programming of the data streams. The parity contents of the volatile memory, including the parity map, can be transferred to a non-volatile memory in response to a determination of an occurrence of a transfer criterion. The parity contents flushed to the non-volatile memory can be used to allow correct data reconstruction in case of failures in programming.
