SELECTIVELY USING HEROIC DATA RECOVERY METHODS IN A MEMORY DEVICE - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17886987 titled 'SELECTIVELY USING HEROIC DATA RECOVERY METHODS IN A MEMORY DEVICE
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes a method for detecting and recovering corrupt data in a storage block by comparing voltage distribution data.
- Detect corrupt data in a storage block
- Access threshold voltage distribution data for the block
- Compare the distribution data with reference data
- Determine whether to perform data recovery processes based on the comparison
Potential Applications

- Error detection and correction in memory devices
- Data recovery in case of corruption
Problems Solved
- Detecting corrupt data in storage blocks
- Efficient data recovery processes
- Improving data integrity and reliability
Benefits
- Enhanced data reliability
- Improved error detection and correction
- Efficient data recovery processes
Original Abstract Submitted
A block storing corrupt data is detected. Based on detecting the block storing corrupt data, threshold voltage (V) distribution data corresponding to the block is accessed. The Vdistribution data comprises one or more Vdistribution measurements corresponding to the block. The Vdistribution data corresponding to the block is compared with reference Vdistribution data. The reference Vdistribution data comprises one or more reference Vdistributions. Based on a result of the comparison, it is determined whether to perform one or more heroic data recovery processes on the block.
