Abstract

Methods, systems, and devices for command timer interrupt are described. In some cases, a memory system having a host-driven logical block interface may maintain a timer to measure processing of commands. For example, upon receiving a command and storing the command in a command queue, a protocol controller of the memory system may issue the command to a command controller of the memory system and initiate the timer. Upon receiving a response for the command from the command controller, the protocol controller may reset or stop the timer, depending on whether the command queue is empty. If the timer expires prior to receiving a response for the command, the protocol controller may issue an interrupt signal to the command controller.
