RESUMING WRITE OPERATIONS AFTER SUSPENSION - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17884441 titled 'RESUMING WRITE OPERATIONS AFTER SUSPENSION

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes methods, systems, and devices for resuming a write operation after suspension in a memory system. Here is a simplified explanation of the abstract:

  • Memory system determines upper limit of threshold voltage of a page where write operation was suspended.
  • It calculates the difference between the quantity of logic state stored in the page and the logic state associated with an unsuspended write operation.
  • The write operation is resumed based on the difference between the quantities of logic state.

Potential Applications:

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

Problems Solved:

  • Efficiently resuming write operations after suspension
  • Improving performance of memory systems

Benefits:

  • Enhanced reliability of memory systems
  • Increased efficiency in data storage
  • Improved overall performance of write operations


Original Abstract Submitted

Methods, systems, and devices for resuming write operation after suspension are described. A memory system may be configured to determine an upper limit of a threshold voltage of a page of a block at which a performance of a write operation was suspended based at least in part on an indication to resume the performance of the write operation that was previously suspended at a memory system; determine a difference between a first quantity of a first logic state stored in the page and a second quantity of the first logic state associated with an unsuspended write operation based at least in part on determining the upper limit of the threshold voltage; and resume the performance of the write operation based at least in part on determining the difference between the first quantity of the first logic state and the second quantity of the first logic state.
