MEMORY PERFORMING RESET OPERATION AND OPERATING METHOD THEREOF - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18339069 titled 'MEMORY PERFORMING RESET OPERATION AND OPERATING METHOD THEREOF

The abstract of the patent application describes a memory system that includes memory cells connected between a bit line and a source line, a watchdog circuit that detects a failing reset operation, and a reset control circuit that protects data in the memory cells in response to the detection of the fail by the watchdog circuit.

  • Memory system with memory cells connected between a bit line and a source line
  • Watchdog circuit to detect failing reset operations
  • Reset control circuit to protect data in memory cells in response to detected fail
  • Activation of a reset signal to safeguard data in memory cells

Potential Applications: - This technology can be applied in various electronic devices such as smartphones, computers, and IoT devices. - It can be used in data storage systems to ensure data integrity and security.

Problems Solved: - Addresses the issue of data corruption due to failing reset operations. - Ensures the protection of data in memory cells from potential failures.

Benefits: - Enhanced data security and integrity. - Improved reliability of memory systems. - Prevention of data loss due to reset failures.

Commercial Applications: Title: "Enhancing Data Security in Electronic Devices with Advanced Memory System" This technology can be commercially used in the manufacturing of electronic devices to provide secure and reliable data storage solutions. It can cater to industries such as telecommunications, data centers, and consumer electronics.

Questions about the technology: 1. How does the watchdog circuit detect failing reset operations? The watchdog circuit monitors the reset operation and triggers a fail signal if it detects any anomalies or failures in the process.

2. What is the role of the reset control circuit in protecting data in memory cells? The reset control circuit is responsible for activating a reset signal to safeguard the data in memory cells when a fail is detected by the watchdog circuit.


Original Abstract Submitted

A memory may include: a cell string including memory cells connected between a bit line and a source line; a watchdog circuit detecting a failing of a reset operation as a fail; and a reset control circuit controlling an operation that protects data of the memory cells in response to the detection of the fail by the watchdog circuit and activating a reset signal.
