Abstract
Memory system controllers can include a switch and non-volatile memory control circuitry coupled to the switch. The non-volatile memory control circuitry can include a channel control circuit coupled to logical units. The channel control circuitry can be configured to relay an erase command to a first one of the logical units and relay a particular command from the switch to a second one of the logical units while the erase command is being executed on the first one of the plurality of logical units.
