DATA SENSING WITH ERROR CORRECTION - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18243344 titled 'DATA SENSING WITH ERROR CORRECTION

Simplified Explanation

In a patent application, multiple copies of data are retrieved from a subset of memory cells in an array of memory cells and stored in latch elements in a page buffer connected to the array. By enabling select lines for two or more latch elements, an output data is determined based on the sensing of the conducting line driven by these latch elements.

  • Memory cells store multiple copies of data
  • Data is sensed from a subset of memory cells
  • Stored in latch elements in a page buffer
  • Select lines enable two or more latch elements
  • Output data determined based on sensing of conducting line

Potential Applications

This technology could be applied in:

  • Data storage systems
  • Memory devices
  • High-speed data processing applications

Problems Solved

This technology helps in:

  • Efficient data retrieval
  • Reducing access time
  • Enhancing data reliability

Benefits

The benefits of this technology include:

  • Faster data processing

Original Abstract Submitted

Multiple copies of a stored data are sensed from a subset of memory cells of an array of memory cells into a plurality of latch elements in a page buffer coupled to the array of memory cells. Two or more latch elements are selected by enabling a respective select line of each of the two or more latch elements. An output data is determined based on a sensing of the conducting line driven by the two or more latch elements.
