Apparatuses, systems, and methods for algorithm qualifier commands are described according to embodiments of the present disclosure. One example method can include executing an algorithm qualifier command on a memory device and performing an operation on the memory device for a command sequence that follows the algorithm qualifier command using a number of settings indicated by the algorithm qualifier command. The algorithm qualifier command can indicate a number of settings to use while performing the operation on the memory device.

Algorithm qualifier commands

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.

Setting switching for single-level cells

Apparatuses and methods for configuring a memory device using configuration commands are provided. A method can include executing a first command while the memory device is in a ready state to configure the memory device to a particular mode and executing a second command to perform a first operation while the memory device is in the particular mode.

Memory device configuration commands

Apparatuses and methods for configuring a memory device using configuration commands are provided. A method can include executing a first command while the memory device is in a ready state to configure the memory device to a particular mode and executing a second command to perform a first operation while the memory device is in the particular mode. Accordingly, Applicant respectfully requests withdrawal of the objection to the Abstract of the application.
