Zusammenfassung:A memory device includes a memory array configured with a plurality of memory planes, and control logic, operatively coupled with the memory array. The control logic performs a plurality of asynchronous memory access operations on the plurality of memory planes, detects an occurrence of an asynchronous interrupt event, and initiates a termination procedure for each of the plurality of asynchronous memory access operations to permit each of the plurality of asynchronous memory access operations to end at different times. In response to a first memory access operation of the plurality of asynchronous memory access operations ending, the control logic asserts a command result signal, wherein the command result signal is de-asserted automatically in response to receipt of a subsequent memory access command directed to any of the plurality of memory planes, and asserts a persistent event register signal, wherein the command result signal is de-asserted in response to receipt of a clear event register command.
