MEMORY DEVICE PERFORMING SELF-CALIBRATION BY IDENTIFYING LOCATION INFORMATION AND MEMORY MODULE INCLUDING THE SAME - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18538263 titled 'MEMORY DEVICE PERFORMING SELF-CALIBRATION BY IDENTIFYING LOCATION INFORMATION AND MEMORY MODULE INCLUDING THE SAME
Simplified Explanation
The memory device of a memory module includes a CA buffer that receives a command/address signal through a shared bus and a calibration logic circuit that identifies the location of the memory device on the bus. This allows the memory device to recognize its own location on the bus in order to perform self-calibration, ensuring proper operation under varying conditions depending on its location in the memory module.
- Memory device includes CA buffer and calibration logic circuit
- CA buffer receives command/address signal through shared bus
- Calibration logic circuit identifies location of memory device on the bus
- Memory device recognizes its own location on the bus for self-calibration
- Ensures proper operation under varying conditions based on location
Potential Applications
This technology could be applied in various memory modules and devices where self-calibration is necessary for optimal performance.
Problems Solved
1. Ensures memory devices operate appropriately under varying conditions 2. Facilitates self-calibration for improved performance
Benefits
1. Improved memory device performance 2. Enhanced reliability under changing conditions
Potential Commercial Applications
Optimizing memory modules in computers, servers, and other electronic devices for better performance and reliability.
Possible Prior Art
One possible prior art could be memory devices with self-calibration capabilities, but the specific implementation of using a shared bus for location identification may be novel.
Unanswered Questions
How does the calibration logic circuit determine the location of the memory device on the bus?
The abstract does not provide details on the specific method or mechanism used by the calibration logic circuit to identify the location of the memory device on the bus.
Are there any limitations to the self-calibration process based on the location of the memory device in the memory module?
It is not clear from the abstract whether there are any constraints or limitations to the self-calibration process based on the location of the memory device within the memory module.
Original Abstract Submitted
A memory device of a memory module includes a CA buffer that receives a command/address (CA) signal through a bus shared by a memory device different from the memory device of the memory module, and a calibration logic circuit that identifies location information of the memory device on the bus. The memory device recognizes its own location on a bus in a memory module to perform self-calibration, and thus, the memory device appropriately operates even under an operation condition varying depending on a location in the memory module.
