Abstract
A system includes a memory device comprising an array of memory cells coupled with a plurality of page buffers. At least a portion of the array is configured as single-level cell memory. A processing device is coupled to the memory device and includes cache. The processing device detects demand for the cache during a memory operation requiring access to the single-level cell memory. Detecting the demand can include determining an amount of metadata required to be accessed or updated based on a type of the memory operation. The processing device causes, based on the demand, the metadata associated with the memory operation to be moved from one of the cache or the array of memory cells to one or more page buffers of the plurality of page buffers.
