  • METHODS OF OPERATING MEMORY DEVICES WITHIN A COMMUNICATION PROTOCOL STANDARD TIMEOUT REQUIREMENT
    Publication number: 20130339644
    Abstract: The present disclosure includes methods and devices for logical memory blocks. One method for operating a memory device includes receiving a command to operate X pages of the memory device, X being greater than Y, and executing the command by executing multiple subcommands, each subcommand operating on a logical memory block portion of the X pages, each logical memory block including at most Y pages. T is a timeout limit, N is a number of pages comprising a block of memory, and Y is number of pages that can be operated within time T.
