MEMORY DEVICE, MEMORY SYSTEM, AND METHOD OF OPERATING THE SAME - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18355157 titled 'MEMORY DEVICE, MEMORY SYSTEM, AND METHOD OF OPERATING THE SAME
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes a memory device, memory system, and method of operation.
- The memory device includes a memory cell array and a write command determination unit (WCDU).
- The WCDU determines if a write command is accompanied by a masking signal.
- If a masking signal is present, the WCDU produces a first control signal.
- A data masking unit combines a portion of read data with a corresponding portion of input write data and generates modulation data in response to the first control signal.
- An error correction code (ECC) engine generates parity of the modulation data.
Original Abstract Submitted
A memory device, a memory system, and a method of operating the same. The memory device includes a memory cell array including a plurality of memory cells and a write command determination unit (WCDU) that determines whether a write command input to the memory device is (to be) accompanied a masking signal. The WCDU produces a first control signal if the input write command is (to be) accompanied by a masking signal. A data masking unit combines a portion of read data read from the memory cell array with a corresponding portion of input write data corresponding to the write command and generates modulation data in response to the first control signal. An error correction code (ECC) engine generates parity of the modulation data.
