STORAGE DEVICE AND ELECTRONIC DEVICE INCLUDING THE SAME - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18197456 titled 'STORAGE DEVICE AND ELECTRONIC DEVICE INCLUDING THE SAME
Simplified Explanation
The storage device described in the patent application includes a storage controller that adjusts the impedance of a transmission driver based on changes in operating temperature to maintain reliability of the link with the external host.
- The storage device includes at least one nonvolatile memory device and a storage controller.
- The storage controller controls the nonvolatile memory device based on requests from an external host.
- The impedance of the transmission driver is adaptively adjusted based on changes in operating temperature.
- The transmission driver transmits a signal to the external host through a link.
- The storage device increases the eye height of the transmission signal by decreasing the impedance of the transmission driver as the operating temperature increases.

Original Abstract Submitted
A storage device includes at least one nonvolatile memory device and a storage controller. The storage controller controls the at least one nonvolatile memory device based on a request from an external host. The storage controller adaptively adjusts an impedance of a transmission driver based on a change of an operating temperature of the storage device. The transmission driver transmits a transmission signal to the external host through a link. The storage device may increase an eye height of the transmission signal transmitted to the host through the link by decreasing impedance of the transmission driver as the operating temperature increases. Therefore, the storage device according to example embodiments may maintain reliability of the link even though the operating temperature of the storage device increases.
