PROXIMITY BASED PARITY DATA MANAGEMENT - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17897183 titled 'PROXIMITY BASED PARITY DATA MANAGEMENT

Simplified Explanation

The method described in the patent application involves generating parity data for word lines in memory blocks and generating additional parity data based on the physical location of the block. This data is used for data recovery operations.

  • Parity data is generated for word lines coupled to memory blocks.
  • Additional parity data is generated based on the physical location of the block.
  • Data recovery operations can be performed using the parity data and additional parity data.

Potential Applications

  • Data storage systems
  • Error correction in memory devices
  • Data recovery in case of failures

Problems Solved

  • Data loss in memory devices
  • Efficient error correction
  • Improved data reliability

Benefits

  • Enhanced data integrity
  • Improved fault tolerance
  • Efficient data recovery operations


Original Abstract Submitted

A method includes generating parity data corresponding to a plurality of word lines coupled to blocks of a memory device and generating additional parity data for a block based on a physical location of the block. The method can further include performing a data recovery operation based on the parity data, the additional parity data, or a combination thereof.
