MEMORY SYSTEM - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240320097 titled 'MEMORY SYSTEM
The abstract of the patent application describes a memory system that includes a nonvolatile memory and a controller. The controller is designed to select one of multiple read retry processes with different average required times based on the reliability of a specific area of the nonvolatile memory where a read process is to be executed, and then execute the chosen read retry process.
- The memory system includes a nonvolatile memory and a controller.
- The controller can choose from various read retry processes with different average required times.
- The selection is based on the reliability of the target area of the nonvolatile memory.
- The controller then executes the selected read retry process.
Potential Applications: - This technology can be applied in data storage devices to improve read process reliability. - It can be used in embedded systems where nonvolatile memory is crucial for data retention. - The system can enhance the performance of solid-state drives by optimizing read retry processes.
Problems Solved: - Enhances the reliability of read processes in nonvolatile memory. - Improves the overall performance of memory systems. - Addresses potential errors and failures in reading data from nonvolatile memory.
Benefits: - Increased reliability and efficiency in data storage. - Enhanced performance of memory systems. - Reduced risk of data loss or corruption due to read errors.
Commercial Applications: Title: "Enhancing Data Storage Reliability with Adaptive Read Retry Processes" This technology can be utilized in the development of advanced data storage devices for consumer electronics, industrial applications, and cloud computing servers. By improving the reliability of read processes in nonvolatile memory, companies can offer more robust and efficient storage solutions to their customers.
Questions about Memory System with Adaptive Read Retry Processes: 1. How does the controller determine the reliability of the target area in the nonvolatile memory? 2. What are the potential implications of using different read retry processes with varying average required times in terms of system performance and data integrity?
Original Abstract Submitted
a memory system includes a nonvolatile memory; and a controller configured to (i) select one of a plurality of read retry processes having different average required times, respectively, based on reliability of a target area of the nonvolatile memory on which a read process is to be executed and (ii) execute the selected read retry process.
