AUTO-CALIBRATION OF ERROR DETECTION SIGNALS - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17899298 titled 'AUTO-CALIBRATION OF ERROR DETECTION SIGNALS
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes methods, systems, and devices for auto-calibration of error detection signals in a memory array system.
- An error is injected into a data signal obtained from a memory array.
- The data signal is then applied to an error detection circuit in the memory array.
- The error detection circuit outputs an error signal for the data signal, which is delayed relative to a control signal by a first amount.
- A timing signal controlling the propagation of the error signal is obtained by delaying the control signal by a second amount.
- A third amount for delaying the control signal is determined based on a comparison of the error signal and the timing signal.
- Potential Applications
- Memory array systems
- Error detection circuits
- Data signal processing technologies
- Problems Solved
- Ensuring accurate error detection in memory arrays
- Auto-calibration of error detection signals
- Improving data signal reliability
- Benefits
- Enhanced error detection capabilities
- Increased reliability of memory array systems
- Efficient auto-calibration process for error signals
Original Abstract Submitted
Methods, systems, and devices for auto-calibration of error detection signals are described. An error may be injected into a data signal obtained from a memory array. After injecting the error into the data signal, the data signal may be applied to an error detection circuit of the memory array, where the error detection circuit may output an error signal for the data signal. The error signal may be delayed relative to a control signal by a first amount. A timing signal that controls the propagation of the error signal may be obtained based on delaying the control signal by a second amount. Based on a comparison of the error signal and the timing signal, a third amount for delaying the control signal may be determined.
