An apparatus includes an interface and a processor. The interface is configured to communicate with a memory device. The processor is configured to send to the memory device, via the interface, a sequence of write commands that program multiple types of memory pages that incur respective different programming durations in the memory device, while inserting in the sequence suspension periods for permitting execution of storage commands that are not part of the sequence, such that at least some of the suspension periods are followed by write commands of types that do not have a shortest programming duration among the programming durations.

Method to enhance programming performance in multilevel NVM devices

A memory device includes a plurality of memory cells, a token input interface, a token output interface and control circuitry. The control circuitry is configured to accept a storage command, to condition execution of at least a part of the storage command on a presence of a token pulse on the token input interface, to execute the storage command, including the conditioned part, in the memory cells upon reception of the token pulse on the token input interface, and to reproduce the token pulse on the token output interface upon completion of the execution.
