Abstract

Devices and techniques for controlling NAND operation latency are described herein. A controlled can receive a write request. The controller can then calculate a number of garbage collection operations to perform on a physical block that is closed. Here, the calculation includes adding a logical-to-physical (L2P) region search ratio to a cadence calculation for garbage collection. Garbage collection operations can be performed on the physical block in accordance with the calculated number of garbage collection operations to perform. Then, the controller can perform the write request in response to completing the calculated number of garbage collection operations.
