TRACKING A REFERENCE VOLTAGE AFTER BOOT-UP - A simplified explanation of the abstract

  • This abstract for appeared for US patent application number 17729813 Titled 'TRACKING A REFERENCE VOLTAGE AFTER BOOT-UP'

Simplified Explanation

This abstract describes methods, systems, and devices for tracking a reference voltage (V) after a device is turned on. It explains that a host device or a memory device can determine the temperature of the memory device and use this information to select a reference voltage offset value. This offset value is chosen based on a mapping of temperature values to reference voltage offset values. The reference voltage value associated with the memory device is then adjusted based on the selected offset value. The memory device is operated using this adjusted reference voltage value.


Original Abstract Submitted

Methods, systems, and devices for tracking a reference voltage (also referred to as V) after boot-up are described. For example, a host device or a memory device may determine a temperature value associated with the memory device. The host device or the memory device may select a reference voltage offset value for the memory device based on mapping the temperature value associated with the memory device to a relationship between reference voltage offset values and temperature differential values associated with the memory device. The host device or the memory device may adjust a reference voltage value associated with the memory device based on the reference voltage offset value. The host device, or the memory device, may operate the memory device in accordance with the reference voltage value based on adjusting the reference voltage value.
