==STORAGE CONTROLLER DETERMINING DISTRIBUTION TYPE, METHOD OF OPERATING THE SAME, AND METHOD OF OPERATING STORAGE DEVICE INCLUDING THE SAME - A simplified explanation of the abstract==


This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17722780 titled 'STORAGE CONTROLLER DETERMINING DISTRIBUTION TYPE, METHOD OF OPERATING THE SAME, AND METHOD OF OPERATING STORAGE DEVICE INCLUDING THE SAME

==Simplified Explanation==

The disclosed patent application describes a method for operating a storage controller that communicates with a non-volatile memory device. Here are the key points:

* The method involves sending a command to the memory device to request on-chip valley search (OVS) count data for a specific memory region.
* The OVS count data includes count values for different read voltages used in the memory device.
* The method receives the OVS count data from the memory device.
* Based on the OVS count data, the method determines the distribution type of the memory region, which refers to the pattern or arrangement of data in the memory.
* The method predicts the distribution type by comparing the OVS count data with a set of known distribution types.
* Finally, the method determines the subsequent operation based on the predicted distribution type.

Potential applications of this technology:

* This method can be used in storage controllers for various electronic devices such as computers, smartphones, and tablets.
* It can improve the efficiency and performance of non-volatile memory devices by accurately predicting the distribution type and optimizing subsequent operations.

Problems solved by this technology:

* Non-volatile memory devices often have different distribution types, which can affect their performance.
* By accurately determining the distribution type, this method helps in optimizing the operations performed on the memory device, leading to improved efficiency and reliability.

Benefits of this technology:

* Improved performance: By predicting the distribution type, the method can optimize subsequent operations, resulting in faster and more efficient data storage and retrieval.
* Enhanced reliability: By accurately determining the distribution type, the method ensures that the memory device operates within its specified parameters, reducing the risk of errors or data loss.


==Original Abstract Submitted==

Disclosed is a method of operating a storage controller which communicates with a non-volatile memory device. The method includes outputting a first command including a request for on-chip valley search (OVS) count data of a memory region of the non-volatile memory device to the non-volatile memory device, wherein the OVS count data includes a first count value and a second count value of a first read voltage and a third count value and a fourth count value of a second read voltage, receiving the OVS count data from the non-volatile memory device, determining a distribution type of the memory region to be a predicted distribution type, from among a plurality of distribution types, based on the OVS count data, and determining a subsequent operation, based on the predicted distribution type.
