主权项 1. A method for processing an erase counter comprising erase counter fields, the method comprising: determining an unused erase counter field; writing a selection code and an address information in the unused erase counter field, the selection code being indicative that one or more corresponding bits of the address information are: defined by multiple bit values in a first operation, wherein, in the first operation, a value of the selection code indicates that a corresponding bit of the address information may be either “0” or “1”; anddefined by single bit values in a second operation, wherein, in the second operation, a value of the selection code indicates that a corresponding bit of the address information remains unchanged; aligning the selection code at a least significant bit with the address information; and combining the selection code and the address information to determine at least one physical address of a memory that is subject to an erase operation.
