DISTRIBUTED POWER UP FOR A MEMORY SYSTEM - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17737539 titled 'DISTRIBUTED POWER UP FOR A MEMORY SYSTEM

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes methods, systems, and devices for distributed power up in a memory system.

  • The memory system receives a command from a host system to initialize a set of memory devices.
  • The memory system selects a first memory device from the set and reads a first operational parameter from a second memory device in a separate controller.
  • The memory system then reads a set of second operational parameters from the first memory device, where each parameter corresponds to a respective memory device in the set.
  • The innovation aims to improve the power-up process of memory systems by distributing the initialization process across multiple devices.
  • This approach allows for efficient and optimized power-up of memory devices, enhancing overall system performance.
  • By reading operational parameters from separate devices, the memory system can ensure proper initialization and configuration of each memory device.
  • The invention can be applied to various memory systems, such as solid-state drives (SSDs) or computer memory modules.


Original Abstract Submitted

Methods, systems, and devices for distributed power up for a memory system are described. The method may include a memory system receiving, from a host system, a command to initialize a set of memory devices included in a memory system. Upon receiving the command, the memory system may select a first memory device from the set of memory devices and read, from a second memory device in a controller separate from the set of memory devices, a first operational parameter corresponding to the first memory device. The memory system may then read, from the first memory device, a set of second operational parameters, each second operational parameter of the set of second operational parameters corresponding to a respective memory device of the set of memory devices.
