Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for serial pass-through techniques for memory device interfaces are described. Memory interface circuitry may be configured to receive a command via a first interface having a first set of terminals to configure the memory interface circuitry for a pass-through mode. As part of the pass-through mode, the memory interface circuitry may receive data from an external device via the first interface and output the data to one or more memory devices via a second interface having a second set of terminals. In some examples, the received data may be associated with a write burst, in which the memory interface circuitry may serially receive multiple portions of the data to write to a buffer of the memory interface circuitry. After reaching a threshold quantity of data, the buffer may output the portions of the data to the one or more memory devices via the second interface.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for creating high density logical to physical mapping are described. A memory system may implement storage of mapping information to store the logical addresses and the corresponding physical addresses. A memory system may receive a command associated with data and a corresponding set of logical addresses, and in some cases the memory device may determine that the logical addresses are sequential. The memory device may generate and store a set of compressed entries in a macro level of the mapping information. When the memory system receives a command associated with an exception to the sequential logical addresses, the memory system may update an entry of the macro level to include a pointer to a set of entries in another level of the mapping information.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for address verification at a memory system are described. A memory system may determine an address identifier based on a received read command and maintain the determined address identifier in a protected state to validate a subsequent read operation. For example, the memory system may store the determined address identifier in a first memory array, separate from a second memory array that is read from in response to the read command. The memory system may also extract an address identifier from memory cells being read in response to the read command, which may include decoding or other interpreting operations performed on information read from the memory cells. The address identifier extracted from the memory cells may be compared with the address identifier determined from the read command and maintained in the protected state, which may support a determination of how to respond to the read command.

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: Apparatus and methods are disclosed, including using a memory controller to partition a memory array into a first portion and a second portion, the first portion and second portion having non-overlapping logical block addressing (LBA) ranges. The memory controller assigns a first granularity of a first logical-to-physical (L2P) mapping table entry for the first portion of the memory array designated for a first usage, and a second granularity of a second L2P mapping table entry for the second portion of the memory array designated for a second usage, where the second granularity is not equal to the first granularity. The memory controller stores the first granularity and the second granularity in the memory array, and stores at least a portion of the first L2P mapping table entry and the second L2P mapping table entry in an L2P cache of the memory controller.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for improved testing for memory devices using dedicated command and address (CA) channels are described. A memory system associated with the memory devices may include a buffer configured to store a channel select indicator that indicates which CA channel to be utilized for various access commands associated with the memory devices. The memory system may utilize headers to facilitate the data transfers between the associated memory devices and testing system via the indicated CA channel using the buffer. The memory system may detect a select chip enable command on the CA channel and may subsequently store the channel select indicator in the buffer. The memory system may then detect data on the dedicated CA channel and subsequently read the stored channel select indicator from the buffer. The memory system may then erase the channel select indicator from the buffer, after receiving a select chip terminate command.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for compression and decompression of trim data are described. A memory system may store one or more trim settings to a volatile memory in a compressed manner, and may expand (e.g., decompress) the data as part of a write operation to a non-volatile memory (e.g., during a start-up procedure). For example, compressed (e.g., non-expanded) data including trim settings may be stored to a volatile memory, and a portion of the array of volatile memory cells may be temporarily allocated to expand the data (e.g., copy the data, invert the data, copy the inverted data). Once the data is expanded, it may be stored in the non-volatile memory, and the temporarily allocated portion of the array of volatile memory cells may be reallocated (e.g., allocated for another purpose). The expanded data may include multiple copies and inverted copies of the trim settings.
