MEMORY WITH FAIL INDICATORS, INCLUDING MEMORY WITH LED FAIL INDICATORS, AND ASSOCIATED SYSTEMS, DEVICES, AND METHODS - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18223465 titled 'MEMORY WITH FAIL INDICATORS, INCLUDING MEMORY WITH LED FAIL INDICATORS, AND ASSOCIATED SYSTEMS, DEVICES, AND METHODS
Simplified Explanation
- Memory with fail indicators and associated systems, devices, and methods are disclosed in the patent application.
- The system includes multiple memory systems and a host device.
- At least one memory system has a fail indicator connected to the host device through a side channel.
- The host device can detect a failure on the memory system and activate the fail indicator.
- The side channel can be an I2C or I3C side channel.
- The fail indicator, when activated, can provide a visual indication of the failure, such as an LED emitting light.
- The color of the light can indicate the type, occurrence, or location of the failure on the memory system.
Potential Applications
- Data storage systems
- Computer servers
- Embedded systems
Problems Solved
- Quickly identifying memory failures
- Improving system reliability
- Enhancing fault detection and troubleshooting processes
Benefits
- Early detection of memory failures
- Improved system maintenance
- Enhanced system performance and reliability
Original Abstract Submitted
Memory with fail indicators, and associated systems, devices, and methods are disclosed herein. In one embodiment, a system includes a plurality of memory systems and a host device. At least one of the memory systems includes a fail indicator connected to the host device via a side channel of the system. The host device is configured to detect an occurrence of a failure on the at least one memory system and to initiate activation of the fail indicator. The side channel can be an I2C or I3C side channel. The fail indicator, when activated, can provide a visual indication of the failure. For example, the fail indicator can include an LED that can be activated to emit light and provide an indication of the failure. A color of the light can correspond to a type, occurrence, or location of the failure on the at least one memory system.
