SEMICONDUCTOR DEVICE AND METHOD
A semiconductor device includes a terminal group configured to receive a first signal and a second signal from a host, a first chip electrically connected to the terminal group, and a second chip electrically connected to the terminal group. The first chip is configured to, in response to reception of the first signal, transmit a third signal corresponding to the first signal to the second chip. The first chip is configured to, when the first chip has received the second signal before the first signal, refrain from transmitting the third signal to the second chip.

The controller is configured to check a status of an (N−2).sup.th batch of program data, N being an integer equal to or greater than 2, program an (N−1).sup.th batch of program data into respective pages in the 3D NAND memory array, and cache an N.sup.th batch of program data in respective space in the on-die cache as a backup copy of the N.sup.th batch of program data.
DYNAMIC BUFFER LIMIT FOR AT-RISK DATA
Exemplary methods, apparatuses, and systems include allotting an initial amount of volatile memory to a write buffer. The write buffer stores batches of data to be written to non-volatile memory. In response to detecting a trigger to update the write buffer configuration, the volatile memory allotted to the write buffer is reduced.
MEMORY CONTROLLER AND STORAGE DEVICE
A memory controller comprising a DMA master device configured to provide a first data group to a non-volatile memory (NVM) device, a program buffer memory configured to temporarily store the first data group before the DMA master device provides the first data group to the NVM device, an exclusive OR computing circuit configured to perform an exclusive OR computation and an accumulation on a plurality of data included in the first data group provided from the program buffer memory to generate a first recovery data, after the DMA master device provides the first data group to the NVM device, and a buffer slave device including a first program recovery buffer memory configured to store the first recovery data and provide the first recovery data from the first program recovery buffer memory to the program buffer memory, in response to a program failure signal, may be provided.
SLC cache allocation
Disclosed in some examples are memory devices which feature intelligent adjustments to SLC cache configurations that balances memory cell lifetime with performance. The size of the SLC cache can be adjusted during usage of the memory device based upon a write amplification (WA) metric of the memory device. In some examples, the size of the SLC cache can be adjusted during usage of the memory device based upon a write amplification (WA) metric of the memory device and a memory device logical saturation metric (percentage of valid user data written in the device of the total user size).
MLM MAPPED NAND LATCH
A storage device is provided that allows a controller to directly access bytes of data in data latches connected to memory, as opposed to through controller RAM. The storage device may include a memory, a plurality of data latches connected to the memory, and a controller coupled to each of the data latches. The controller is configured to access one or more bytes of decoded data in one or more of the data latches. For instance, the controller may provide a command including an address for data in the memory, and may process one or more bytes of the data in at least one of the data latches in response to the command. The controller may also store a mapping of addresses for each of the word lines, including the address provided in the command. As a result, operation latency may be reduced and controller RAM savings achieved.
