Abstract

Methods, systems, and devices for usage level identification for memory device addresses are described. Systems, techniques, and devices are described herein in which a memory device may determine where to store data according to a level of usage of the data. The memory device may receive a write command indicating data to be written, a type of the data, and a logical address of a memory array for writing the data. The memory device may identify an entry associated with the logical address in a table that maps the logical address to a physical address of the memory array. The entry may include a field configured to maintain a level of usage for the logical address. The memory device may update the level of usage value according to a process and write the data to a physical address of the memory array based on the level of usage value.
