APPARATUSES, SYSTEMS, AND METHODS FOR MODULE LEVEL ERROR CORRECTION - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17822915 titled 'APPARATUSES, SYSTEMS, AND METHODS FOR MODULE LEVEL ERROR CORRECTION
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes apparatuses, systems, and methods for module level error correction in memory devices packaged together in a memory module. The module includes an error correction code (ECC) circuit that pools information from multiple memory devices on the module to detect errors in the pooled codewords.
- Memory devices are packaged together in a memory module.
- The module includes an ECC circuit that pools information from multiple memory devices.
- Each memory device provides a codeword with data bits and parity bits.
- The ECC circuit detects errors in the pooled codewords.
Potential Applications
- Data storage systems
- Computer memory modules
- Server systems
Problems Solved
- Error detection and correction in memory modules
- Improved reliability of data storage systems
Benefits
- Enhanced data integrity
- Increased system reliability
- Improved error correction capabilities
Original Abstract Submitted
Apparatuses, systems, and methods for module level error correction. Multiple memory devices a packaged together in a memory module. The module includes a module error correction code (ECC) circuit which pools information multiple memory devices on the module. In an example read operation, multiple memory devices each provide a codeword which includes data bits and parity bits. The codewords may include data bits provided along a data bus and parity bits provided along a parity bus. The ECC circuit pools the codewords and detects errors in the pooled codewords.
