INDICATING A BLOCKED REPAIR OPERATION - A simplified explanation of the abstract
- This abstract for appeared for US patent application number 17726139 Titled 'INDICATING A BLOCKED REPAIR OPERATION'
Simplified Explanation
This abstract describes methods, systems, and devices that indicate whether a repair operation for a memory device is blocked or not. It involves storing an initial indication of the validity of a memory address. Then, a command to access the address is processed, and a second indication of the address's validity is obtained based on this processing. Using both the first and second indications, a decision is made on whether to proceed with or prevent the repair operation for that address. Finally, a third indication is stored to indicate whether the repair operation was actually performed or prevented.
Original Abstract Submitted
Methods, systems, and devices for indicating a blocked repair operation are described. A first indication of whether an address of a memory device is valid may be stored. After the first indication is stored, a command for accessing the address may be processed. Based on processing the command, a second indication of whether the address is valid may be obtained, and a determination of whether to perform or prevent a repair operation for repairing the address may be made based on the first indication and the second indication. A third indication of whether the repair operation was performed or prevented may be stored.
