STORAGE DEVICE - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17835761 titled 'STORAGE DEVICE

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes a storage device that includes a main non-volatile memory and a controller. The controller communicates with a host using a predetermined interface protocol and controls the main memory. The controller includes a special function register (SFR) that stores parameters indicating the connection characteristics between the storage device and the host.

  • The controller receives a command from the host to change a parameter.
  • The controller extracts descriptors from the command, which include the SFR address and the new parameter value.
  • The controller then tunes the interface by executing the descriptors and writing the new parameter value into the SFR.

Potential Applications

  • This technology can be applied in various storage devices such as solid-state drives (SSDs), USB flash drives, and memory cards.
  • It can be used in computer systems, servers, and other devices that require efficient communication between the host and storage device.

Problems Solved

  • The technology allows for easy and flexible parameter changes in the storage device without the need for complex reconfiguration processes.
  • It simplifies the communication between the host and storage device by providing a standardized interface protocol.

Benefits

  • The storage device can be easily customized and optimized for different host systems by changing the parameters stored in the SFR.
  • The technology improves the overall performance and compatibility of the storage device by allowing for efficient communication with the host.
  • It reduces the complexity and time required for configuring and adapting the storage device to different host systems.


Original Abstract Submitted

A storage device includes a main non-volatile memory and a controller communicating with a host according to a predetermined interface protocol and controlling the main non-volatile memory. The controller includes a special function register (SFR) storing parameters indicating connection characteristics between the storage device and the host. The controller receives a parameter change command according to the interface protocol from the host, extracts one or more descriptors respectively including an SFR address and a parameter value corresponding to a target parameter to be changed from the parameter change command, and tunes an interface by executing the one or more descriptors to write the parameter value into the SFR.
