Assignee: MICRON TECHNOLOGY, INC.
Field: Computer technology (Electrical engineering)
Classification: CPC G | IPC G

Claim 7:
8. A method comprising:
identifying a first set of bits associated with a translation unit of a memory device, wherein the first set of bits corresponds to a page field;
identifying a second set of bits associated with the translation unit of the memory device, wherein the second set of bits corresponds to a block field;
determining that a value representing a page number stored in the page field satisfies a threshold criterion;
responsive to determining that the value representing the page number satisfies the threshold criterion:
determining a difference between the value representing the page number and a threshold value associated with the threshold criterion;
updating a first portion of an entry of an L2P table corresponding to the translation unit with a value representing the difference; and
updating a second portion of the entry of the L2P table corresponding to the translation unit with a value representing a block number stored in the block field;

determining, based on the updated first portion and the updated second portion of the entry of the L2P table, that a swapping condition is satisfied, wherein the swapping condition indicates that the page field and the block field are swapped; and
responsive to determining that the swapping condition is satisfied, performing a data access operation on a set of memory cells residing at a location corresponding to the translation unit.
