    Abstract: Method and apparatus for managing data in a memory, such as a flash memory. In accordance with some embodiments, a memory module has a plurality of solid-state non-volatile memory cells. A controller communicates a first command having address information and a first operation code. The first operation code identifies a first action to be taken by the memory module in relation to the address information. The controller subsequently communicates a second command having a second operation code without corresponding address information. The memory module takes a second action identified by the second command using the address information from the first command.

    Abstract: Torn write mitigation circuitry determines if a write operation to memory is in progress at or about a time of power loss. In response to the write operation being in progress at or about the time of the power loss, the torn write mitigation circuitry causes torn write data and metadata to be stored to a non-volatile cache. The torn write data comprise data left in a degraded or uncorrectable state as a result of the loss of power. The metadata describe the torn write data.

    Abstract: An incremental signal is defined that includes at least one of a duration and a peak voltage that is less than a respective minimum programming time or minimum programming voltage step of a resistive memory element. A characterization procedure is repeatedly performed that at least involves: applying a signal to the memory element, the signal being incremented by the incremental signal during each subsequent application; measuring a first resistance of the memory element in response to the signal; and c) measuring a second resistance of the memory element after a time period has elapsed from the measurement of the first resistance with no programming signal applied. In response to the first and second resistance measurements of the characterization procedure, a characterization parameter of the memory element is formed.

    Abstract: Method and apparatus for managing data in a memory. In accordance with some embodiments, metadata updates are stored in a first tier of a a multi-tier non-volatile memory structure responsive to access operations associated with data objects in the memory structure. The stored metadata updates are logged in a second, lower tier of the memory structure. The stored metadata updates are further migrated to a different location within the first tier responsive to an accumulated count of said access operations.

    Abstract: Method and apparatus for managing data in a memory. In accordance with some embodiments, a data object is stored in a first non-volatile tier of a multi-tier memory structure. An ECC data set adapted to detect at least one bit error in the data object during a read operation is generated. The ECC data set is stored in a different, second non-volatile tier of the multi-tier memory structure.
