Abstract

Providing for a multi-bank memory with bank-specific status feedback is described herein. By way of example, the multi-bank memory can be configured to output an availability status, pass/fail status, error correction status, or the like, for subsets of multiple memory banks. In some embodiments, the non-volatile memory can provide global status information, representing a status of all banks commonly in conjunction with bank-specific status information. Further, the subject disclosure provides addressing techniques for identifying particular banks of memory, and obtaining status information for subsets of the memory banks, or performing memory operations on targeted subsets of the memory banks.
