MEMORY DEVICE, METHOD OF DRIVING THE MEMORY DEVICE, AND METHOD OF DRIVING HOST DEVICE - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17814640 titled 'MEMORY DEVICE, METHOD OF DRIVING THE MEMORY DEVICE, AND METHOD OF DRIVING HOST DEVICE

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes a memory device that includes a memory cell for storing data and a memory controller. The memory controller is designed to perform the following tasks:

• Check whether a dynamic voltage frequency scaling core (DVFSC) operation is being used.
• Check the information stored in the memory device that indicates the setting of the host device in response to the DVFSC operation.
• Determine the level of a low voltage that should be used for the DVFSC operation based on the information.
• Transmit the determined level of the low voltage to the host device.

Potential applications of this technology:

• Memory devices used in electronic devices such as smartphones, tablets, and laptops.
• Memory devices used in data centers and servers.

Problems solved by this technology:

• Efficiently managing power consumption in memory devices during DVFSC operations.
• Ensuring the correct voltage level is used for DVFSC operations based on the host device's settings.

Benefits of this technology:

• Improved power efficiency in memory devices.
• Enhanced performance and reliability during DVFSC operations.
• Customizable voltage levels based on the host device's settings.

Original Abstract Submitted

A memory device includes a memory cell for storing data, and a memory controller configured to check whether a dynamic voltage frequency scaling core (DVFSC) operation is used, check information stored in the memory device indicating a setting of the host device in response to the DVFSC operation being used, determine a level of a low voltage used for the DVFSC operation based on the information, and transmit the determined level of the low voltage used for the DVFSC operation to the host device.
