MEMORY CONTROLLER AND METHOD OF OPERATING THE SAME - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240338314 titled 'MEMORY CONTROLLER AND METHOD OF OPERATING THE SAME
The present technology pertains to an electronic device with a memory controller that includes a garbage collection controller and a sustain detector. The garbage collection controller generates information for garbage collection, such as valid page count values of memory blocks. The sustain detector generates sustain information to indicate the random write performance state of the memory device.
