Abstract

A first command associated with a first memory die is communicated via a first portion of an interface of the memory sub-system. A second command associated with a second memory die is communicated via the first portion of the interface to a second memory die. A data burst corresponding to the first memory die is caused to be communicated via a second portion of the interface, where the second command is communicated via the first portion of the interface concurrently with the data burst communicated via the second portion of the interface.

Claims (35)

1. A system comprising:

a set of memory dies; and

a processing device, operatively coupled to the set of memory dies via an interface comprising a first portion and a second portion, the processing device to perform operations comprising:

communicating a set of commands associated with the set of memory dies via the first portion of the interface; and

causing communication of a set of data communications to the set of memory dies via the second portion of the interface, wherein one or more of the set of commands is communicated via the first portion of the interface concurrently with one or more of the set of data communications.

2. The system of claim 1 , the operations further comprising designating one or more pin locations as the first portion of the interface.

3. The system of claim 1 , wherein the first portion of the interface and the second portion of the interface are independent portions.

4. The system of claim 1 , the operations further comprising processing a status polling communication via the first portion of the interface.

5. The system of claim 4 , wherein the status polling communication is processed via the first portion of the interface concurrently with one or more of the set of data communications.

6. The system claim 1 , wherein the first portion of the interface comprises a first set of interface pins and the second portion of the interface comprises a second set of interface pins.

7. The system of claim 1 , the operations further comprising:

designating one or more pins of the interface as a third portion of the interface; and

communicating a status polling communication via the third portion of the interface.

8. A non-transitory computer readable medium comprising instructions, which when executed by a processing device, cause the processing device to perform operations comprising:

generating a command associated with a first memory die of a set of memory dies coupled to an interface comprising:

a first portion to process one or more commands; and

a second portion to process one or more data communications; and

communicating the command to the first memory die via the first portion of the interface.

9. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 8 , the operations further comprising identifying a data communication associated with a second memory die of the set of memory dies.

10. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 9 , the operations further comprising causing the data communication to be communicated via the second portion of the interface concurrently with transmission of the command via the first portion of the interface.

11. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 8 , the operations further comprising assigning the first portion of the interface to process one or more status polling communications.

12. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 11 , the operations further comprising processing a status polling communication via the first portion of the interface.

13. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 10 , wherein the interface further comprises a third portion to process one or more status polling communications.

14. A method comprising:

communicating, by a processing device of a controller of a memory sub-system, a first command associated with a first memory die via a first portion of an interface of the memory sub-system;

communicating a second command associated with a second memory die via the first portion of the interface to a second memory die; and

causing communication of a data burst corresponding to the first memory die via a second portion of the interface, wherein the second command is communicated via the first portion of the interface concurrently with the data burst communicated via the second portion of the interface.

15. The method of claim 14 , further comprising designating one or more pin locations as the first portion of the interface.

16. The method of claim 14 , wherein the first portion of the interface and the second portion of the interface are independent portions.

17. The method of claim 14 , further comprising processing a status polling communication via the first portion of the interface.

18. The method of claim 17 , wherein the status polling communication is processed via the first portion of the interface concurrently with one or more data bursts communicated via the second portion of the interface.

19. The method of claim 14 , wherein the first portion of the interface comprises a first set of one or more interface pins and the second portion of the interface comprises a second set of one or more interface pins.

20. The method of claim 14 , further comprising:

designating one or more pins of the interface as a third portion of the interface; and

communicating a status polling communication via the third portion of the interface.
