STORAGE DEVICE AND RETRAINING METHOD THEREOF - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18077406 titled 'STORAGE DEVICE AND RETRAINING METHOD THEREOF

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes a storage device that consists of a non-volatile memory (NVM) package and a controller. The NVM package is connected to the controller through a channel, and the controller controls the operation of the NVM package.

  • The NVM package includes an interface chip, which serves as a bridge between the NVM devices and the controller.
  • The interface chip has two internal channels: a first internal channel and a second internal channel.
  • When the controller sends an operation request, the interface chip selects the first internal channel and connects it to the channel, allowing data transfer between the NVM devices and the controller.
  • The interface chip also monitors the second internal channel and determines if retraining is necessary.
  • If retraining is needed for the second internal channel, the interface chip sends a retraining request to the controller.

Potential Applications

  • This technology can be used in various storage devices such as solid-state drives (SSDs), USB flash drives, and memory cards.
  • It can improve the performance and reliability of these storage devices by efficiently managing data transfer between the NVM devices and the controller.

Problems Solved

  • The technology addresses the issue of data transfer between the NVM devices and the controller in a storage device.
  • It ensures that the appropriate internal channel is selected and connected to the channel for efficient data transfer.
  • It also identifies when retraining is necessary for optimal performance and notifies the controller.

Benefits

  • Improved data transfer performance and reliability in storage devices.
  • Efficient utilization of the internal channels in the NVM package.
  • Enhanced control and management of data transfer operations.
  • Potential for increased lifespan and durability of the storage device.


Original Abstract Submitted

A storage device includes NVM package and a controller connected to the NVM package through a channel and controlling operation of the NVM package. The NVM package includes an interface chip, first NVM devices connected to the interface chip through a first internal channel and second NVM devices connected to the interface chip through a second internal channel The interface chip selects the first internal channel in response to an operation request received from the controller and connects the first internal channel to the channel The interface chip also determines whether retraining is necessary in relation to the second internal channel and transmits a retraining request to the controller when retraining is necessary.
