Multi-ported nonvolatile memory device with bank allocation and related systems and methods

A system, comprising:

• a processing device;
• and
• a memory device, coupled to the processing device, including:
• a first port coupled to a first interface configured to receive command, address, and write data from, and to transmit read data to the processing device;
• a read/write parallel port coupled to a parallel double data rate (DDR) interface configured to receive command, address, and write data from, and to transmit read data to the processing device;
• a non-volatile memory (NVM) array including a plurality of banks, wherein each bank is configured for access based on a corresponding access value, and wherein two different banks of the plurality of banks are configured to enable access respectively by the first port and the read/write parallel port concurrently;
• and
• a bank access register configured to store the corresponding access value for each bank of the plurality of banks.

A method of operating a non-volatile memory (NVM) device, comprising:

• receiving a first access command and address information to a first memory bank through a first port of the NVM device;
• setting, by a logic element in the NVM device based at least partly on the first access command and address information, a first access value stored in a bank access register for the first memory bank;
• enabling access to the first memory bank via the first port based at least partly on the first access value;
• receiving a second access command and address information to a second memory bank through a second port of the NVM device;
• setting, by the logic element based at least partly on the second access command and address information, a second access value stored in the bank access register for the second memory bank;
• and
• enabling concurrent access to the second memory bank via the second port based at least partly on the second access value when the first memory bank is being accessed via the first port, wherein the first memory bank is different from the second memory bank.
