CONFIGURABLE BUFFERED I/O FOR MEMORY SYSTEMS - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17735583 titled 'CONFIGURABLE BUFFERED I/O FOR MEMORY SYSTEMS
Simplified Explanation
- The present disclosure describes a system component that can be configured as a buffer device. - This buffer device is placed between a processing device and a set of memory components. - The buffer device can be configured to connect a certain number of front-side channels to a certain number of back-side channels. - The configuration data for the buffer device can come from an external source or be stored in a configuration register during manufacturing. - The configuration data can also be determined based on control pins of the buffer device. - Overall, this innovation allows for flexible configuration of the buffer device to optimize the connection between the processing device and memory components.
Original Abstract Submitted
Aspects of the present disclosure configure a system component, such as a memory sub-system controller, to provide a configurable buffer device. The configuration buffer device is coupled between a processing device and a set of memory components. The configurable buffer device can be configured based on configuration data to couple a first quantity of front-side channels to a second quantity of back-side channels. The configuration data can be received from an external source, such as the processing device, or can be stored in a configuration register at manufacture. The configuration data can also be generated or determined based on one or more pins of the buffer device that control how many font-side channels and how many back-side channels to enable/disable.
