METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR TUNING A MEMORY DEVICE FOR HIGH-SPEED TRANSITIONS - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17933944 titled 'METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR TUNING A MEMORY DEVICE FOR HIGH-SPEED TRANSITIONS
Simplified Explanation
The present disclosure describes a method and system for tuning a memory device to achieve high-speed transitions. When the default tuning parameters fail to tune the memory device during bus sampling, the host device sends an auto-tuning request to the memory device until certain conditions are met. The memory device receives the request, selects a set of tuning parameters from multiple sets, and transmits a tuning block to the host device based on the selected parameters. This process continues until the predefined conditions are satisfied, allowing for high-speed mode utilization and achieving high-speed transitions between the host and memory devices. This innovation also helps avoid initialization failure of the memory device.
- The method and system enable tuning of a memory device for high-speed transitions.
- If default tuning parameters fail, the host device sends an auto-tuning request to the memory device.
- The memory device selects a set of tuning parameters from multiple sets and transmits a tuning block to the host device.

Original Abstract Submitted
The present disclosure relates to a method and system for tuning a memory device for high-speed transitions. Upon failure of bus sampling tuning of a memory device with default tuning parameters, the host device is configured to transmit an auto-tuning request to the memory device for until one or more pre-defined conditions are satisfied. The memory device is configured to receive the auto-tuning request from the host device, selects a set of tuning parameters from a plurality of sets of tuning parameters, and transmits a tuning block to the host device based on the selected set of tuning parameters, until one or more pre-defined conditions are satisfied. Thereby, the memory device can utilize high-speed mode and high-speed transitions can be achieved between host and memory devices. Thus, initialization failure of the memory device can also be avoided.
