STORAGE CONTROLLER AND STORAGE DEVICE COMPRISING THE SAME - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18304839 titled 'STORAGE CONTROLLER AND STORAGE DEVICE COMPRISING THE SAME
Simplified Explanation
The abstract of the patent application describes a storage controller that receives a first transmission preset value and a first coefficient value during the phase 3 stage of a PCIe link training and equalization process. The controller checks whether these values are optimal by referencing a database. If they are determined to be optimal, the controller transmits signals corresponding to these values to the outside. However, if they are not optimal, the controller transmits signals corresponding to a second transmission preset value and a second coefficient value from the database, which are different from the first values and optimal for the phase 3 stage.
- The storage controller receives a first transmission preset value and a first coefficient value during PCIe link training and equalization.
- It checks whether these values are optimal by referencing a database.
- If the values are determined to be optimal, the controller transmits signals corresponding to these values to the outside.
- If the values are not optimal, the controller transmits signals corresponding to a different set of values from the database that are optimal for the phase 3 stage.
Potential applications of this technology:
- PCIe link training and equalization in storage systems and devices.
- Improving the performance and reliability of data transmission in PCIe connections.
Problems solved by this technology:
- Ensuring optimal transmission preset values and coefficient values during the phase 3 stage of PCIe link training and equalization.
- Addressing potential suboptimal configurations that may arise during the training process.
Benefits of this technology:
- Enhanced data transmission performance and reliability.
- Efficient utilization of PCIe connections.
- Improved overall system performance and stability.
Original Abstract Submitted
A storage controller receives a first transmission preset value and a first coefficient value at a first time from outside, at a phase 3 stage of a PCIe link training and equalization, checks whether the first transmission preset value and the first coefficient value are optimal with reference to a database, transmits signals corresponding to the first transmission preset value and the first coefficient value to the outside when the first transmission preset value and the first coefficient value are determined to be optimal and transmits signals corresponding to a second transmission preset value and a second coefficient value from the database, which are different from the first transmission preset value and the first coefficient value and optimal for the phase 3 stage of the PCIe link training and equalization, to the outside when the first transmission preset value and the first coefficient value are determined not to be optimal.
