MEMORY SYSTEM - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240311232 titled 'MEMORY SYSTEM
The memory system described in the abstract includes a nonvolatile memory with a memory cell and a controller. The controller is designed to write multi-bit data into the memory cell using a two-step process involving a first write operation and a second write operation.
- The controller first writes a first part of the multi-bit data during the first write operation.
- The controller then determines the amount of time that has passed since the first write operation.
- If the determined amount is less than a threshold amount, the controller performs the second write operation by inputting only the second part of the multi-bit data.
- If the determined amount is greater than the threshold amount, the controller performs the second write operation by inputting both the first and second parts of the multi-bit data.
Potential Applications: - This technology could be used in data storage devices to improve write efficiency and data integrity. - It could also be applied in embedded systems where nonvolatile memory is used for storing critical information.
Problems Solved: - This technology addresses the issue of efficiently writing multi-bit data into nonvolatile memory cells. - It helps optimize the write process and ensures data integrity in memory systems.
Benefits: - Improved write efficiency in nonvolatile memory systems. - Enhanced data integrity and reliability. - Optimal use of memory space.
Commercial Applications: Title: Enhanced Data Writing Technology for Nonvolatile Memory Systems This technology could be valuable in the development of high-performance data storage devices for various industries, including consumer electronics, automotive, and industrial applications. It could lead to more efficient and reliable memory systems, enhancing the overall performance of electronic devices.
Questions about the technology: 1. How does this technology improve data writing efficiency in memory systems? 2. What are the potential implications of using this technology in embedded systems?
Original Abstract Submitted
a memory system includes a nonvolatile memory including a memory cell, and a controller. the controller is configured to write multi-bit data into the memory cell through a first write operation of writing a first part, and not a second part, of the multi-bit data and then a second write operation of writing the first and second parts. the controller is configured to, during writing of the multi-bit data, determine an amount of time that has passed since the first write operation, perform the second write operation in a first manner by inputting the second part, and not the first part, from the controller, when the determined amount is less than a threshold amount, and perform the second write operation in a second manner by inputting the first and second parts from the controller, when the determined amount is greater than the threshold amount.
