One or more data items is received by a processing device managing one or more memory devices partitioned into a plurality of die partitions. The one or more data items is determined to be written sequentially to one or more blocks within a die partition of the plurality of die partitions. Metadata associated with the one or more data items is written sequentially to one or more blocks across the plurality of die partitions.

Managing a memory sub-system using a cross-hatch cursor

Apparatus and methods include receiving signaling indicative of performance of an operation to update a plurality of data entries written to a memory device and having a same offset from an initial physical address corresponding to each of the plurality of data entries and performing the operation to write the update to the plurality of data entries written to the memory device and having the same offset from the initial physical address corresponding to each of the plurality of data entries responsive to receiving the signaling indicative of performance of the operation to update the plurality of data entries.

LBAT bulk update

A memory device may detect a memory operation that updates a level two volatile (L2V) entry stored in an L2V table. Each L2V entry in the L2V table may indicate a mapping between a respective logical block address (LBA) and a respective user data physical address in non-volatile memory. The memory operation may cause a mapping between an LBA indicated in the L2V entry and a user data physical address indicated in the L2V entry to become invalid. The memory device may store, in a volatile memory log, an indication of an LBA region that includes the LBA. The memory device may detect that an L2 transfer condition, associated with the volatile memory log, is satisfied. The memory device may copy, from volatile memory to non-volatile memory, every L2V entry that indicates an LBA included in the LBA region based on detecting that the L2 transfer condition is satisfied.

Logical to physical (L2P) address mapping with fast L2P table load times

Apparatuses and methods for storing a validity mask and operating apparatuses are described. A number of methods for operating an apparatus include storing a validity mask that is associated with a number of pages of memory cells in a group of pages and that provides validity information for the number of pages of memory cells in the group of pages.

Apparatuses and methods for storing validity masks and operating apparatuses

Methods, devices, and systems for determining location of error detection data are described. One method for operating a memory unit having a bad group of memory cells includes determining a location of where to store error detection data for data to be stored across a plurality of memory units, including the memory unit having the bad group, based at least partially on a location of the bad group and storing the error detection data in the determined location.

Determining location of error detection data

A content addressable memory (CAM) device () can sequentially apply command and key data to different sections (-to-). Within each section, CAM cores (-to-) can be sequentially activated. Current surges when transitioning from an idle state to an active state, or vice versa, can be significantly reduced with additional latency but no loss in throughput.
