SEQUENTIAL WRITE OPERATIONS USING MULTIPLE MEMORY DIES - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17884422 titled 'SEQUENTIAL WRITE OPERATIONS USING MULTIPLE MEMORY DIES

Simplified Explanation

Methods, systems, and devices for sequential write operations using multiple memory dies are described. A memory system may be configured to support write operations that include writing respective subsets of a sequence of data to each first memory die of a set of multiple first memory dies, and then writing the sequence of data to a second memory die (e.g., based on reading the respective subsets of the sequence of data from the set of first memory dies). In some examples, such techniques may be implemented with memory dies having different memory cell storage densities. For example, the set of multiple first memory dies may be operated in accordance with relatively lower storage densities to leverage relatively faster access operations, whereas the second memory die may be operated in accordance with a relatively higher storage density to leverage relatively higher capacity.

  • Memory system supports sequential write operations using multiple memory dies
  • Write respective subsets of data to each first memory die, then write full sequence to second memory die
  • Can be implemented with memory dies of different storage densities
  • First memory dies operated for faster access, second memory die for higher capacity

Potential Applications

  • Data storage systems
  • Solid-state drives
  • Embedded systems

Problems Solved

  • Efficient utilization of memory dies with different storage densities
  • Improved performance in write operations

Benefits

  • Faster access operations
  • Higher capacity storage
  • Efficient use of memory dies
