INDICATION-BASED AVOIDANCE OF DEFECTIVE MEMORY CELLS

Abstract:

Methods, systems, and devices for indication-based avoidance of defective memory cells are described. A non-volatile memory component may store information regarding one or more memory cells of a volatile memory component that a host device for the volatile memory component is to avoid accessing. The one or more memory cells may be defective for example. The device may transmit, to the non-volatile memory component, a request for an indication of the one or more memory cells of the volatile memory component that the host device is to avoid accessing, and the non-volatile memory may transmit such an indication to the host device. The host device may refrain from writing or reading from the one or more memory cells of the volatile memory component.
