Power loss protection in memory sub-systems

Abstract:

Aspects of the present disclosure provide systems and methods for improved power loss protection in a memory sub-system of a device. In particular, a power loss protection component allocates a portion of the memory sub-system to non-volatile memory. Responsive to detecting a trigger event at the device, wherein the trigger event may include asynchronous power loss of the device, the power loss protection component detects data written to a volatile cache of the memory sub-system, retrieves the data from the volatile cache, and writes the data to the portion of the memory sub-system allocated to the non-volatile memory.
