STORAGE CONTROLLER RECEIVING READ DATA AND DISTRIBUTION INFORMATION, METHOD OF OPERATING THE SAME, AND METHOD OF OPERATING STORAGE DEVICE INCLUDING THE SAME - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18184319 titled 'STORAGE CONTROLLER RECEIVING READ DATA AND DISTRIBUTION INFORMATION, METHOD OF OPERATING THE SAME, AND METHOD OF OPERATING STORAGE DEVICE INCLUDING THE SAME

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes a method of operating a storage controller that communicates with a non-volatile memory device. Here is a simplified explanation of the abstract:

  • The method involves sending a read command to the non-volatile memory device.
  • The storage controller receives the first read data and first distribution information corresponding to the read command from the memory device.
  • It then determines whether the error in the first read data is correctable or uncorrectable.
  • If the error is correctable, the storage controller updates the offset information of a history table based on the first distribution information.

Potential applications of this technology:

  • This method can be used in various storage systems, such as solid-state drives (SSDs) or flash memory devices, to improve data reliability and error correction.
  • It can be implemented in data centers, servers, or personal computers to enhance the performance and reliability of storage devices.

Problems solved by this technology:

  • The method addresses the issue of errors in read data from non-volatile memory devices.
  • By determining the correctability of errors and updating offset information, it helps in improving the accuracy and reliability of data retrieval.

Benefits of this technology:

  • Improved data reliability: By updating offset information based on distribution information, the method enhances the error correction capabilities of the storage controller, leading to more reliable data storage and retrieval.
  • Enhanced performance: The method allows for efficient error correction, reducing the impact of errors on data access speed and overall system performance.
  • Extended lifespan of storage devices: By effectively handling errors, the method can help prolong the lifespan of non-volatile memory devices by minimizing data corruption and preserving data integrity.


Original Abstract Submitted

Disclosed is a method of operating a storage controller which communicates with a non-volatile memory device. The method includes providing a read command to the non-volatile memory device, receiving first read data and first distribution information corresponding to the read command from the non-volatile memory device, determining whether an error of the first read data is uncorrectable, and updating offset information of a history table in the storage controller based on the first distribution information, in response to determining that the error of the first read data is correctable.
