MEMORY DEVICE AND REFRESH METHOD THEREOF - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18076932 titled 'MEMORY DEVICE AND REFRESH METHOD THEREOF
Simplified Explanation
The abstract of the patent application describes a memory device that includes a first memory cell array with two rows and a self-refresh circuit. The self-refresh circuit controls the refresh process based on signals received. It refreshes the first row in response to a self-refresh entry signal and stops refreshing the second row after refreshing the first row in response to a self-refresh exit signal.
- The memory device has a first memory cell array with two rows.
- A self-refresh circuit is included to control the refresh process.
- Refreshing is triggered by a self-refresh entry signal.
- The second row is stopped from refreshing after the first row is refreshed in response to a self-refresh exit signal.
Potential applications of this technology:
- Memory devices in electronic devices such as smartphones, tablets, and computers.
- Storage systems in data centers and servers.
Problems solved by this technology:
- Efficient memory refresh process without the need for external intervention.
- Ensures data integrity and reliability by refreshing memory cells.
Benefits of this technology:
- Improved power efficiency by selectively refreshing memory rows.
- Enhanced memory performance by reducing the time required for refresh operations.
- Increased data reliability by ensuring memory cells are refreshed regularly.
Original Abstract Submitted
A memory device is provided. The memory device includes: a first memory cell array including a first row and a second row; and a self-refresh circuit configured to control refresh in response to a first self-refresh entry signal, and stop refresh of the second row after refreshing the first row in response to a self-refresh exit signal.
