Abstract

A memory system includes multiple dice having multiple planes. A processing device is coupled to the dice and performs controller operations including receiving a status indicator signal comprising a pulse that is asserted by one or more planes of the multiple dice. In response to receiving the pulse, the processing device performs at least one of: a first status check of dice operations being performed by the multiple dice at an expiration of a polling delay period; or a second status check of the dice operations in response to detecting the pulse being deasserted. The processing device terminates performances of status checks while the status indicator signal remains deasserted.
