Abstract
Apparatuses and methods for determining performing write operations on a number of planes are provided. One example apparatus can include a controller configured to associate a first number of blocks together, wherein each of the first number of blocks are each located on different planes, receive commands to write data to a first page on the number of first blocks, and write data to the first page of each of the first number of blocks during a first time period.
Claims20
An apparatus, comprising:
- an array of memory cells;
- a controller coupled to the array of memory cells and the controller includes control circuitry comprising one or more integrated circuits configured to:
- associate a first number of blocks together, wherein the array of memory cells includes a number of planes, wherein each of the number of planes include a number of blocks, wherein each of the number of blocks include a number of pages, and wherein each of the first number of blocks are each located on different planes;
- receive a first command to write data to a first page on a first block of the first number of blocks;
- and
- pause execution of the first command by waiting to write the data to the first page on the first block of the first number of blocks until the controller receives additional commands to write data on each of the first number of blocks.

A method, comprising:
- associating a first number of blocks in an array of memory cells together, wherein the array of memory cells includes a number of planes, wherein each of the number of planes include a number of blocks, wherein each of the number of blocks include a number of pages, and wherein each of the number of blocks are located on different planes;
- receiving a first command to write data to a first page on a first block of a first number of blocks;
- and
- pausing executing the first command by waiting to write the data to the first page on the first block of the first number of blocks until the controller receives a second command to write data on a first page on a second block of the first number of blocks.
