摘要： Systems and/or methods that facilitate PBA and LBA translations associated with a memory component(s) are presented. A memory controller component facilitates determining which memory component, erase block, page, and data block contains a PBA in which a desired LBA and/or associated data is stored. The memory controller component facilitates control of performance of calculation functions, table look-up functions, and/or search functions to locate the desired LBA. The memory controller component generates a configuration sequence based in part on predefined optimization criteria to facilitate optimized performance of translations. The memory controller component and/or associated memory component(s) can be configured so that the translation attributes are determined in a desired order using the desired translation function(s) to determine a respective translation attribute based in part on the predefined optimization criteria. The LBA to PBA translations can be performed in parallel by memory components.

摘要： Systems and methods that facilitate bad block management in a memory device that comprises nonvolatile memory are presented. One or more memory blocks of a memory device are each associated with one or more additional, dedicated bits that facilitate indicating whether the associated memory block is defective. These additional bits, called bad block bits, can be stored in a hardware-based storage mechanism within the memory device. Once a defect is detected in a memory block, at least one of the associated bad block bits can be set to indicate that the memory block is defective. If at least one of the bad block bits associated with a memory block indicates a memory block is defective, access to the memory block can be prevented.

摘要： Systems and/or methods that facilitate accessing data to/from a memory are presented. An electronic memory component can operate with reduced data access times by eliminating/reducing the use of logical block addressing and employing physical block addressing. Data access is thereby directly associated with the physical location of the stored bits and the need to translate between a logical address and the physical address is reduced or eliminated. This can be even more efficient under asymmetric data access patterns. Further, legacy support for logical block addressing can be included to provide backward compatibility, mixed mode operation, or complimentary mode operation.
摘要翻译：介绍了有助于从存储器访问数据的系统和/或方法。电子存储器组件可以通过消除/减少使用逻辑块寻址并采用物理块寻址来减少数据访问时间。因此，数据访问与所存储的比特的物理位置直接相关联，并且减少或消除了在逻辑地址和物理地址之间进行转换的需要。这在非对称数据访问模式下可以更有效率。此外，可以包括对逻辑块寻址的传统支持以提供向后兼容性，混合模式操作或补充模式操作。

摘要： A bit alterable memory device may include status bits such as a direction bit and two register bits for a colony of memory cells. The state of each status bit may be changed depending on the programming state of the non-volatile bit alterable memory. The status bits may be examined to determine the write status of two separate colonies of memory cells in the event of a power loss. The information gathered from the status bits can be used by a power loss recovery mechanism to determine whether the data written to a plurality of memory cell colonies is partially written. Applying a power loss recovery mechanism to a bit alterable memory can prevent the user from relying on data that is corrupt or otherwise unusable.
摘要翻译：可变存储器件可以包括用于存储器单元的集群的状态位，例如方向位和两个寄存器位。每个状态位的状态可以根据非易失性位可变存储器的编程状态而改变。在功率损失的情况下，可以检查状态位以确定存储器单元的两个分开的集群的写入状态。从状态位收集的信息可以由功率损耗恢复机制使用，以确定写入多个存储单元集群的数据是否被部分写入。将电力损耗恢复机制应用于可更改的内存可能会阻止用户依赖已损坏或无法使用的数据。

摘要： A system and methodology that can prevent errors during data commit on multicycle pass complete associated with a memory is provided. The system employs a transaction buffer component in the memory that receives and temporarily stores information associated with a transaction. A controller component programs subsets of data to respective memory locations once the entire transaction is completed based on the information stored in the transaction buffer component. Thus, if the transaction is interrupted during the transfer of the user data into the buffer, the data stored in the memory is not affected and can still contain the original data when power is regained. If the data transfer between the transaction buffer component and memory array is interrupted, the controller component can complete the transfer from the point of interruption on regaining power and can avoid partial storage of data.
摘要翻译：提供了一种能够防止在与存储器相关联的多周期完成数据提交期间的错误的系统和方法。该系统在存储器中采用事务缓冲器组件，其接收并临时存储与事务相关联的信息。基于存储在事务缓冲器组件中的信息，一旦整个事务完成，控制器组件就将数据子集编程到相应的存储单元。因此，如果在将用户数据传送到缓冲器期间交易中断，则存储在存储器中的数据不受影响，并且在恢复供电时仍然可以包含原始数据。如果事务缓冲器组件和存储器阵列之间的数据传输中断，则控制器组件可以在重新获取电源时从中断点完成传输，并且可以避免数据的部分存储。

摘要： Systems and/or methods that facilitate logical block address (LBA) to physical block address (PBA) translations associated with a memory component(s) are presented. The disclosed subject matter employs an optimized block address (BA) component that can facilitate caching the LBA to PBA translations within a memory controller component based in part on a predetermined optimization criteria to facilitate improving the access of data associated with the memory component. The predetermined optimization criteria can relate to a length of time since an LBA has been accessed, a number of times the LBA has been access, a data size of data related to an LBA, and/or other factors. The LBA to PBA translations can be utilized to facilitate accessing the LBA and/or associated data using the cached translation, instead of performing various functions to determine the translation.

摘要： Systems and/or methods that facilitate transferring data between a processor component and memory components are presented. A transfer controller component facilitates controlling data transfers in part by receiving respective subsets of data from respective memory components and arranging the respective subsets of data based in part on a desired predefined data order. The processor component generates a transfer map that includes information to facilitate arranging data in a predefined order. The processor component generates respective subsets of commands that are provided to queue components in respective memory components to retrieve desired data from the respective memory components. Each memory component services the commands in its queue component in an independent and parallel manner, and transfers the data retrieved from memory to the transfer controller component, which can arrange the received data in a predefined order for transfer to the processor component.
