Read Data Path for a Memory System - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17823476 titled 'Read Data Path for a Memory System
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes apparatuses and methods related to a read data path for a memory system. The system includes logic that checks the reliability of data received from a memory, which may include first data, parity data, and metadata for reliability checks. If the data is error-free, it is transmitted for access. If errors are detected, a data recovery process is initiated along a separate data path to recover the corrupted data.
- Memory system includes logic for reliability checks of data
- Data may include first data, parity data, and metadata
- Error-free data is transmitted for access
- Corrupted data triggers data recovery process along separate path
- Potential Applications
- Data storage systems - Computer memory systems - Data centers
- Problems Solved
- Ensures data integrity in memory systems - Reduces likelihood of returning corrupted data to requestors
- Benefits
- Improved data reliability - Enhanced data integrity checks - Efficient data recovery process
Original Abstract Submitted
Described apparatuses and methods relate to a read data path for a memory system. A memory system can include logic that receives data from a memory. The data may include first data, parity data, and metadata that enables a reliability check of the data. The logic may perform the reliability check of the data to determine an accuracy of the data. If the data is determined not to include an error, the data may be transmitted for accessing by a requestor. If the data is determined to include an error, however, a data recovery process may be initiated to recover the corrupted data along a separate data path. In doing so, the apparatuses and methods related to a read data path for a memory system and described herein may reduce the likelihood that a memory system returns corrupted data to a requestor.
