DUAL ADDRESS ENCODING FOR LOGICAL-TO-PHYSICAL MAPPING

Abstract:

Methods, systems, and devices for dual address encoding for logical-to-physical mapping are described. A memory device may identify a first physical address corresponding to a first logical block address generated by a host device and a second physical address corresponding to a second (consecutive) logical block address generated by a host device. The memory device may store the first physical address and second physical address in a single entry of a logical-to-physical mapping table that corresponds to the first logical block address. The memory device may transmit the logical-to-physical table to the host device for storage at the host device. The host device may subsequently transmit a single read command to the memory device that includes the first physical address and the second physical address based on the logical-to-physical table.
