METHOD OF OPERATING MEMORY SYSTEM AND MEMORY SYSTEM PERFORMING THE SAME - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17868147 titled 'METHOD OF OPERATING MEMORY SYSTEM AND MEMORY SYSTEM PERFORMING THE SAME
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes a memory system consisting of a memory controller and a memory device with multiple dies and blocks. Commands are used to control the memory device at the super block level.
- The memory system includes a memory controller and a memory device with multiple dies and blocks.
- Commands are used to control the memory device at the super block level.
- During the first time interval, an erase operation is performed on a range of blocks and a program operation is performed on another range of blocks based on the first set of commands.
- During the second time interval, another erase operation is performed on a specific block and a program operation is performed on specific blocks based on the second set of commands.
Potential applications of this technology:
- Data storage devices such as solid-state drives (SSDs) and memory cards.
- Embedded systems and IoT devices that require efficient memory management.
- High-performance computing systems that rely on fast and reliable memory operations.
Problems solved by this technology:
- Efficient memory management by performing erase and program operations at the super block level.
- Reducing the complexity of memory control by using commands to control the memory device.
- Improving overall memory system performance and reliability.
Benefits of this technology:
- Faster and more efficient memory operations due to super block level control.
- Simplified memory management process through the use of commands.
- Improved performance and reliability of memory systems.
Original Abstract Submitted
A memory system includes a memory controller and a memory device including a plurality of dies, each die including a plurality of blocks. A plurality of commands are configured to control the memory device in units of super blocks. During a first time interval, a first erase operation is performed on a first-first block among the first-first block to a first-Mth block, and a first program operation is performed on a second-first block to a second-Mth block, based on the first commands. During a second time interval, a second erase operation is performed on a first-second block among the first-first block to the first-Mth block, and a second program operation is performed on the first-first block and one or more blocks among the second-first block to the second-Mth block, based on the second commands.
