METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR CONFIGURING A NON-VOLATILE MEMORY DEVICE WITHOUT DATA TRANSFER - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17878639 titled 'METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR CONFIGURING A NON-VOLATILE MEMORY DEVICE WITHOUT DATA TRANSFER

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes a method for operating a non-volatile memory device that includes a latch, a page buffer, and blocks with pages. The method involves receiving a page command for a write operation, receiving a write command for writing data to the page buffer, latching preexisting or random data, writing the latched data to a page of a new block based on the write command, and repeatedly updating the page address and writing the latched data to additional pages until all pages of the new block are written to.

  • The method involves operating a non-volatile memory device with a latch, page buffer, and blocks with pages.
  • The method includes receiving a page command for a write operation and a write command for data to be written to the page buffer.
  • Preexisting or random data is latched.
  • The latched data is written to a page of a new block based on the write command.
  • The page address is updated and the latched data is repeatedly written to additional pages until all pages of the new block are written to.

Potential Applications

  • This method can be applied in various non-volatile memory devices, such as solid-state drives (SSDs) and flash memory.
  • It can be used in data storage systems for computers, servers, and other electronic devices.

Problems Solved

  • The method provides a way to efficiently write data to non-volatile memory devices.
  • It allows for the writing of data to multiple pages in a block, reducing the number of write operations needed.

Benefits

  • The method improves the performance and efficiency of non-volatile memory devices.
  • It reduces the time and energy required for writing data to the memory device.
  • The method allows for faster data storage and retrieval in electronic devices.


Original Abstract Submitted

A method of operating a non-volatile memory device is provided. The device includes a latch, a page buffer and blocks, each of which includes pages. The method includes: receiving a page command for a write operation corresponding to a page of one of the blocks; receiving a write command for writing data to the page buffer; latching preexisting latched data or random data generated as latched data; writing the latched data to a page of a new block from among the plurality of blocks that corresponds to a page address based on the write command; and repeatedly updating the page address and repeatedly writing the latched data to additional pages corresponding to each updated page address until each page of the new block has been written to.
