Abstract:
A method and apparatus is provided for wear leveling of a storage medium in an electronic device. Wear leveling is achieved by mapping each logical memory address to a corresponding physical memory address. The mapping information is consistent over an on-period of a power cycle, but changes from one power cycle to another. The mapping information, such as a key value for example, may be stored in non-volatile memory such as, for example, a correlated electron random switch (CES) storage element. The mapping may be obtained by manipulating bits of the logical address to obtain the physical address.
