Abstract

Independent multi-plane commands for non-volatile memory devices are described. In one example, a three-dimensional (3D) NAND memory device includes 3D NAND dies, each die including multiple planes of memory cells. The device includes input/output (I/O) circuitry to receive multiple commands from a host, each of the received commands to access one of the planes. The device includes logic (which can be implemented with, for example, an ASIC controller, firmware, or both) to queue the commands in separate queues for each of the planes based on a target plane of each of the commands. The logic issues the commands to their target planes independent of other planes' status, and tracks completion status of the commands independently for each plane.
