SEMICONDUCTOR DEVICE - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18054176 titled 'SEMICONDUCTOR DEVICE
Simplified Explanation
The semiconductor device described in the patent application includes a sequence data generator and a symbol changer.
- The sequence data generator is responsible for generating sequence data on multiple data lines.
- The symbol changer takes the sequence data and generates a training pattern by replacing occurrences of a predetermined symbol with an alternative symbol for each data line.
- The sequence data generator may also include a sequence generator that generates a pseudo random binary sequence (PRBS) based on a seed value for each clock cycle.
Potential applications of this technology:
- This semiconductor device can be used in communication systems for generating training patterns to improve signal quality and reduce errors.
- It can be used in data storage systems for testing and calibrating read and write operations.
- It can be used in semiconductor manufacturing for testing and characterizing the performance of semiconductor devices.
Problems solved by this technology:
- The symbol changer allows for the generation of training patterns by replacing specific symbols in the sequence data, which can help identify and correct errors in communication or data storage systems.
- The sequence generator generates a PRBS, which is useful for testing and evaluating the performance of semiconductor devices.
Benefits of this technology:
- Improved signal quality and reduced errors in communication systems.
- Enhanced testing and calibration capabilities in data storage systems.
- Efficient testing and characterization of semiconductor devices in manufacturing processes.
Original Abstract Submitted
A semiconductor device includes a sequence data generator, which is configured to generate sequence data on a plurality of data lines, and a symbol changer. The symbol changer is configured to generate a training pattern from the sequence data by replacing, for each of the plurality of data lines, each occurrence of a bitstream within the sequence data that has a predetermined symbol with an alternative symbol. The sequence data generator may include a sequence generator, which is configured to generate a pseudo random binary sequence (PRBS), based on a seed value for each clock cycle.
