NON-VOLATILE MEMORY DEVICE INCLUDING MULTI-STACK MEMORY BLOCK AND OPERATING METHOD THEREOF - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18052428 titled 'NON-VOLATILE MEMORY DEVICE INCLUDING MULTI-STACK MEMORY BLOCK AND OPERATING METHOD THEREOF
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes an operating method for a memory system that includes a memory controller and a non-volatile memory device. The method involves determining if a specific memory block meets a reset condition, and if so, applying a turn-on voltage to certain cells, transferring data from the first memory block to a second memory block, erasing the first memory block, and reprogramming the cells.
- The method involves determining if a specific memory block meets a reset condition.
- If the reset condition is met, a turn-on voltage is applied to certain cells in the memory block.
- Data pre-programmed in the first memory block is transferred to a second memory block.
- The first memory block is then erased.
- The cells in the first memory block are reprogrammed.
Potential applications of this technology:
- Memory systems in electronic devices such as smartphones, tablets, and computers.
- Data storage in cloud computing and data centers.
- Embedded systems in automotive, aerospace, and industrial applications.
Problems solved by this technology:
- Efficient management of memory blocks in non-volatile memory devices.
- Ensuring data integrity during the reset and reprogramming process.
- Optimizing the use of memory resources in memory systems.
Benefits of this technology:
- Improved performance and reliability of memory systems.
- Enhanced data storage and retrieval capabilities.
- Efficient utilization of memory resources.
- Simplified memory management processes.
Original Abstract Submitted
According to an example embodiment of the inventive concepts, an operating method of a memory system including a memory controller and a non-volatile memory device, the non-volatile memory device being operated under control by the memory controller and the non-volatile memory including a first memory block and a second memory block, the method includes determining, by the memory controller, whether the first memory block satisfies a block reset condition, in response to the first memory block satisfying the block reset condition, applying a turn-on voltage to word lines of dummy cells included in the first memory block, transferring data pre-programmed in the first memory block to the second memory block, erasing the first memory block, and re-programming the dummy cells of the first memory block.
