STORAGE CONTROLLER COMPRESSING INDICATOR DATA, STORAGE DEVICE INCLUDING THE SAME, AND METHOD OF OPERATING THE SAME - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17865621 titled 'STORAGE CONTROLLER COMPRESSING INDICATOR DATA, STORAGE DEVICE INCLUDING THE SAME, AND METHOD OF OPERATING THE SAME
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes a method for operating a storage controller that involves reducing the number of bits in a series of threshold voltage states, generating indicator data based on this reduction, compressing the indicator data, and storing it.
- The method involves receiving raw data that represents different threshold voltage states.
- A first state shaping process is performed to reduce the number of bits corresponding to a specific threshold voltage state in a specific page.
- The logical values of these reduced bits are equal to the logical value of the target threshold voltage state in that specific page.
- First indicator data is generated based on this state shaping process, indicating the reduced bits.
- The first indicator data is then compressed to reduce its size.
- Finally, the compressed first indicator data is stored.
Potential Applications
- This method can be applied in various storage systems, such as solid-state drives (SSDs) or flash memory devices.
- It can improve the efficiency of data storage and retrieval processes in these systems.
Problems Solved
- The method addresses the issue of reducing the number of bits required to represent threshold voltage states, which can help optimize storage capacity and performance.
- It solves the problem of efficiently storing and retrieving indicator data in storage systems.
Benefits
- By reducing the number of bits, the method can increase the overall storage capacity of a storage system.
- The compression of indicator data helps to save storage space and improve data transfer speeds.
- The method improves the efficiency and performance of storage controllers, leading to faster data access and retrieval.
Original Abstract Submitted
A method of operating a storage controller includes receiving raw data indicating a series of bits each corresponding to one of threshold voltage states, performing a first state shaping for reducing a number of first target bits of the series of bits, logical values of the first target bits being equal to a logical value of a target threshold voltage state of the threshold voltage states in a first page of plural pages, generating first indicator data that indicates the first target bits based on the first state shaping, compressing the first indicator data, and storing the compressed first indicator data.
