NONVOLATILE MEMORY DEVICE PROVIDING INPUT/OUTPUT COMPATIBILITY AND METHOD FOR SETTING COMPATIBILITY THEREOF - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18148579 titled 'NONVOLATILE MEMORY DEVICE PROVIDING INPUT/OUTPUT COMPATIBILITY AND METHOD FOR SETTING COMPATIBILITY THEREOF
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes a nonvolatile memory device that includes various components such as a variable sampler, selection circuit, converter, clock distribution network, and path controller. These components work together to process data signals, amplify data strobe signals, and control the flow of signals within the device.
- The variable sampler can operate in either an amplifier mode or a sampler mode based on a control signal.
- The selection circuit determines whether the data signal output from the variable sampler is transmitted to a flip-flop via a delay unit or directly bypassing the delay unit, based on the control signal.
- The converter amplifies a data strobe signal.
- The clock distribution network transmits the amplified data strobe signal to the variable sampler or delays it for a predetermined time before transmitting it to the flip-flop, based on the control signal.
- The path controller generates the control signal according to an input/output mode.
Potential applications of this technology:
- Nonvolatile memory devices: This technology can be used in the development of nonvolatile memory devices, such as flash memory or solid-state drives, to improve data processing and signal transmission.
- Data storage systems: The innovation can enhance the performance and efficiency of data storage systems by optimizing the processing and transmission of data signals.
Problems solved by this technology:
- Signal processing efficiency: The variable sampler and selection circuit allow for flexible processing of data signals, improving the overall efficiency of the memory device.
- Signal transmission optimization: The clock distribution network and path controller ensure that data strobe signals are transmitted in a timely and controlled manner, reducing signal delays and improving system performance.
Benefits of this technology:
- Improved data processing: The variable sampler and selection circuit enable efficient processing of data signals, leading to faster and more reliable data storage operations.
- Enhanced signal transmission: The clock distribution network and path controller optimize the transmission of data strobe signals, minimizing delays and improving the overall performance of the memory device.
