NON-VOLATILE MEMORY DEVICE, OPERATING METHOD THEREOF, CONTROLLER FOR CONTROLLING THE SAME, AND STORAGE DEVICE HAVING THE SAME - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18374026 titled 'NON-VOLATILE MEMORY DEVICE, OPERATING METHOD THEREOF, CONTROLLER FOR CONTROLLING THE SAME, AND STORAGE DEVICE HAVING THE SAME
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes a non-volatile memory device that consists of a memory cell array with multiple memory blocks, each containing multiple memory cells connected to word lines and bit lines. It also includes a row decoder to select a memory block based on an address, a voltage generator to apply word line voltages to selected and unselected word lines, page buffers to read data from a selected memory cell, and a control logic to control the row decoder, voltage generator, and page buffers.
- The memory device has a memory cell array with multiple memory blocks, each containing multiple memory cells.
- The row decoder selects a memory block based on an address.
- The voltage generator applies word line voltages to selected and unselected word lines.
- The page buffers read data from a selected memory cell.
- The control logic controls the row decoder, voltage generator, and page buffers.
Potential applications of this technology:
- Non-volatile memory devices can be used in various electronic devices such as smartphones, tablets, and computers.
- This technology can be applied in solid-state drives (SSDs) to provide high-speed and reliable data storage.
- It can also be used in digital cameras, gaming consoles, and other devices that require fast and efficient memory storage.
Problems solved by this technology:
- Non-volatile memory devices offer persistent storage, meaning data is retained even when power is lost.
- This technology provides high-density memory storage, allowing for more data to be stored in a smaller physical space.
- It offers faster read and write speeds compared to traditional magnetic storage devices.
Benefits of this technology:
- Non-volatile memory devices are more durable and resistant to physical damage compared to traditional hard disk drives.
- They consume less power, making them more energy-efficient.
- This technology allows for faster data access and retrieval, improving overall system performance.
