A value setting associated with one or more parameters of a host-side interface and a memory-side interface of an input/output (I/O) expander is configured to enable Open NAND Flash Interface (ONFI)-compliant communications between a host system and a target memory die of a memory sub-system. The I/O expander processes one or more ONFI-compliant communications between the host system and the target memory die, wherein the one or more ONFI-compliant communications relate to execution of a memory access operation.

Active input/output expander of a memory sub-system

A read command to read a target memory die of a memory sub-system is received from a host system via a host-side interface of an active input/output (I/O) expander. The active I/O expander identifies a page address corresponding to the target memory die and decodes the read command to send to a memory stack associated with the page address corresponding to the target memory die. Read data is received via a memory-side interface of the active I/O expander from the memory stack including the target memory die. A signal conditioning operation is performed on the read data to generate conditioned read data. The active I/O expander sends, via the host-side interface, the conditioned read data to the host system.
