NONVOLATILE MEMORY DEVICE - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17866904 titled 'NONVOLATILE MEMORY DEVICE
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes a nonvolatile memory device that includes a memory cell array, voltage generators, and a temperature unit. The device adjusts the power supply voltage of the voltage generators based on the real-time temperature of the memory cell array.
- The nonvolatile memory device includes a memory cell array.
- It has a first voltage generator that generates a word line operating voltage for each word line of the memory cell array.
- It also has a second voltage generator that generates a bit line operating voltage of the memory cell array.
- The device includes a temperature unit that determines a temperature range for a temperature code based on the real-time temperature of the memory cell array.
- The temperature unit adjusts the power supply voltage of the first or second voltage generator based on a selection signal mapped to the determined temperature range.
Potential Applications
- Nonvolatile memory devices can be used in various electronic devices, such as smartphones, tablets, and computers.
- This technology can be applied in data storage systems, improving the performance and reliability of memory devices.
Problems Solved
- Nonvolatile memory devices can be affected by temperature variations, which can impact their performance and reliability.
- This technology solves the problem of temperature-induced performance variations by adjusting the power supply voltage based on the real-time temperature of the memory cell array.
Benefits
- By adjusting the power supply voltage based on the real-time temperature, the nonvolatile memory device can maintain optimal performance and reliability.
- This technology ensures that the memory cell array operates within the appropriate temperature range, reducing the risk of data corruption or loss.
- The ability to adjust the power supply voltage based on temperature allows for efficient power management in the nonvolatile memory device.
