Abstract
A non-volatile memory system may include a plurality of dies, where the plurality of dies are configured in a plurality of chip enable groups and at least one of the chip enable groups includes less than a maximum number of dies that may be uniquely identified according to a die selection scheme, where different memory arrays have different capacities and/or include memory elements of different types or technologies, or some combination thereof. One or more virtual die layouts, addressing schemes and mappings, wear leveling schemes, and initialization schemes may be employed for these multi-die configurations.
