A semiconductor memory device includes a first memory area in the semiconductor memory device, and a second memory area in the semiconductor memory device. The second memory area is accessed independently of the first memory area based on a usage selecting signal. The first and second memory areas share command and address lines, and perform a rank interleaving operation based on the usage selecting signal.

A method of controlling a memory device can include: receiving, by an interface, a write command from a host; beginning execution of a write operation on a first array plane of a memory array in response to the write command, where the memory array includes a plurality of memory cells arranged in a plurality of array planes; receiving, by the interface, a read command from the host; reconfiguring the write operation in response to detection of the read command during execution of the write operation; beginning execution of a read operation on a second array plane in response to the read command; and restoring the configuration of the write operation after the read operation has at least partially been executed.

A nonvolatile memory device includes a memory cell array, a voltage generator, a page buffer circuit, a row decoder and a control circuit. The memory cell array includes a plurality of mats corresponding to different bit-lines. The voltage generator generates word-line voltages applied to the memory cell array. The page buffer circuit is coupled to the memory cell array through bit-lines. The row decoder is coupled to the memory cell array through word-lines, and the row decoder transfers the word-line voltages to the memory cell array. The control circuit controls the voltage generator, the row decoder and the page buffer circuit based on a command and an address. The control circuit selects a voltage between different voltages to apply the selected different voltages to at least one of the word-lines or at least one of the bit-lines according to a number of mats of the plurality mats, which operate simultaneously.

Apparatuses and methods for performing concurrent memory access operations for different memory planes are disclosed herein. An example apparatus may include a memory array having a plurality of memory planes. Each of the plurality of memory planes comprises a plurality of memory cells. The apparatus may further include a controller configured to receive a group of memory command and address pairs. Each memory command and address pair of the group of memory command and address pairs may be associated with a respective memory plane of the plurality of memory planes. The internal controller may be configured to concurrently perform memory access operations associated with each memory command and address pair of the group of memory command and address pairs regardless of page types associated with the pairs of the group (e.g., even if two or more of the memory command and address pairs may be associated with different page types).

Devices, systems, methods, and other embodiments associated with selectively scheduling memory accesses in parallel are described. In one embodiment, a method includes determining, by a hardware controller, an access speed associated with a page request. The page request is a request to access a memory page in a memory device. The access speed is a number of clock cycles used to access the memory page addressed by the page request. The method also includes scheduling when the page request will be executed based, at least in part, on the access speed by assigning the page request to be executed in parallel with at least one other page request that is to access a different memory page in the memory device using a same number of clock cycles as the page request.
