SELECTIVE ACCESS FOR GROUPED MEMORY DIES - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240321329 titled 'SELECTIVE ACCESS FOR GROUPED MEMORY DIES
The abstract describes methods, systems, and devices for selective access for grouped memory dies. A memory device can be configured with a select die access protocol for a group of memory dies that share the same channel. The protocol can be enabled by commands from the host device, communicated to each memory die via the channel. The commands indicate a first set of memory dies for which commands may be enabled and a second set for which commands are disabled. When the select die access mode is enabled, disabled memory dies are restricted from performing certain commands.
- Memory device with select die access protocol
- Commands from host device enable protocol
- First set of memory dies enabled for commands
- Second set of memory dies disabled for commands
- Restricted access for disabled memory dies
- Potential Applications:**
This technology can be applied in various memory systems where selective access to grouped memory dies is required. It can be useful in optimizing memory performance and efficiency in data storage applications.
- Problems Solved:**
This technology addresses the need for selective access control in memory devices, allowing for efficient management of memory dies within a group. It helps in preventing unauthorized access and optimizing memory operations.
- Benefits:**
- Improved memory performance - Enhanced security through selective access control - Efficient management of memory dies within a group - Optimization of memory operations
- Commercial Applications:**

Original Abstract Submitted
methods, systems, and devices for selective access for grouped memory dies are described. a memory device may be configured with a select die access protocol for a group of memory dies that share a same channel. the protocol may be enabled by one or more commands from the host device, which may be communicated to each of the memory dies of the group via the channel. the command(s) may indicate a first set of one or more memory dies of the group for which a set of commands may be enabled and may also indicate a second set of one or more memory dies of the group for which at least a subset of the set of commands is disabled. when the select die access mode is enabled, the disabled memory dies may be restricted from performing the subset of commands received via the channel.
