MEMORY SYSTEM - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240319917 titled 'MEMORY SYSTEM
The memory system described in the patent application consists of semiconductor storage devices and a controller device. Each semiconductor storage device has first and second signal pads for transmitting command data and address data, as well as a status register. The controller device instructs the semiconductor storage device to provide the status of a read operation, and the semiconductor storage device outputs a ready/busy state stored in the status register while allowing for the input of new command data and address data.
- Semiconductor storage devices with signal pads for data transmission and a status register
- Controller device instructs storage devices to provide read operation status
- Output of ready/busy state during read operation status check
- Input of new command data and address data during status check
- Efficient communication and control within the memory system
Potential Applications: - Data storage systems - Computer memory modules - Embedded systems - IoT devices
Problems Solved: - Efficient management of read operations in memory systems - Streamlined communication between controller and storage devices
Benefits: - Improved data access efficiency - Enhanced control over memory operations - Reduced latency in read operations
Commercial Applications: Title: "Advanced Memory System for Enhanced Data Access" This technology could be utilized in various commercial applications such as data centers, servers, and high-performance computing systems to optimize memory operations and improve overall system performance.
Questions about the technology: 1. How does the memory system improve data access efficiency? - The memory system allows for quick status checks during read operations, reducing latency and improving overall data access speed. 2. What are the potential applications of this technology beyond memory systems? - This technology could be adapted for use in various industries requiring efficient data storage and retrieval systems.
Original Abstract Submitted
according to one embodiment, a memory system includes semiconductor storage devices and a controller device. each semiconductor storage device includes: first and second signal pads through which command data and address data for instructing one of the semiconductor storage devices to perform a read operation are transmitted; and a status register. a controller device is configured to instruct the one of the semiconductor storage devices to provide a status of the read operation. the one of the semiconductor storage devices is configured to, upon receiving the instruction to provide the status of the read operation, output a ready/busy state stored in the status register through the first signal pad while allowing an input of another command data and another address data through the second signal pad.
