US Patent 11693700 Dynamic size of static SLC cache

Apparatus and methods are disclosed, including using a memory controller to track a maximum logical saturation over the lifespan of the memory device, where logical saturation is the percentage of capacity of the memory device written with data. A portion of a pool of memory cells of the memory device is reallocated from single level cell (SLC) static cache to SLC dynamic cache storage based at least in part on a value of the maximum logical saturation, the reallocating including writing at least one electrical state to a register, in some examples.
