POST PACKAGE REPAIR MANAGEMENT - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17959191 titled 'POST PACKAGE REPAIR MANAGEMENT

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes a method for repairing a soft post package in a memory array. Here is a simplified explanation of the abstract:

  • When a soft post package repair (sPPR) request is detected, data from a specific row in the memory array is stored in a buffer.
  • Execution of non-maintenance requests on the same row is temporarily stopped.
  • The sPPR request is then executed on the target row.
  • Once the sPPR request is completed, execution of non-maintenance requests on the target row is resumed.
  • The data stored in the buffer is written back to the repaired target row.

Potential Applications

This technology could be applied in various industries and sectors where memory arrays are used, such as:

  • Computer systems and servers
  • Mobile devices and smartphones
  • Data centers and cloud computing
  • Internet of Things (IoT) devices
  • Automotive electronics

Problems Solved

The technology addresses the following problems:

  • Soft post package repairs in memory arrays can lead to data loss or corruption if not handled properly.
  • Suspending execution of non-maintenance requests on the target row ensures that the repair process is not interrupted or affected by other operations.
  • Storing the data in a buffer prevents loss of information during the repair process.

Benefits

The use of this technology offers several benefits:

  • Improved reliability and integrity of data in memory arrays.
  • Minimized risk of data loss or corruption during soft post package repairs.
  • Efficient and effective repair process without impacting normal operations.
  • Enhanced performance and longevity of memory arrays.


Original Abstract Submitted

A soft post package repair (sPPR) request is detected. Data stored in a target row of a memory array associated with the sPPR request is written to a buffer. Execution of non-maintenance requests on the target row is suspended. Responsive to suspension of execution of non-maintenance requests on the target row, the sPPR request is executed on the target row. Subsequent to completion of the sPPR request, execution of non-maintenance requests on the target row is resumed and the data stored in the buffer is written to the repaired target row.
