STORAGE DEVICE AND OPERATING METHOD THEREOF - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17810067 titled 'STORAGE DEVICE AND OPERATING METHOD THEREOF
Simplified Explanation
The abstract of this patent application describes a storage device that includes a storage controller. The storage controller receives a protecting command before a thermal process is performed in the storage device. It then generates a protecting pattern by programming a protecting voltage in a converged region where threshold voltage distributions of memory cells in the storage device converge after the thermal process is performed.
- The storage device includes a storage controller that receives a protecting command.
- The protecting command is received before a thermal process is performed in the storage device.
- The storage controller generates a protecting pattern.
- The protecting pattern is generated by programming a protecting voltage.
- The protecting voltage is programmed in a converged region.
- The converged region is where threshold voltage distributions of memory cells in the storage device converge after the thermal process is performed.
Potential Applications
- This technology can be applied in various storage devices such as solid-state drives (SSDs), flash drives, and memory cards.
- It can be used in data centers, personal computers, laptops, and mobile devices.
Problems Solved
- The protecting command and protecting pattern help prevent data loss or corruption during a thermal process in the storage device.
- By programming a protecting voltage in the converged region, the storage controller ensures the memory cells are not affected by the thermal process.
Benefits
- The protecting command and protecting pattern provide an additional layer of data protection during thermal processes.
- The converged region allows for efficient programming of the protecting voltage, ensuring the memory cells are adequately protected.
- This technology helps improve the reliability and durability of storage devices, reducing the risk of data loss.
Original Abstract Submitted
A storage device includes a storage controller that receives a protecting command before a thermal process is performed in the storage device, and that generates a protecting pattern by programming a protecting voltage in a converged region where threshold voltage distributions of memory cells in the storage device converge after the thermal process is performed on the storage device.
