NONVOLATILE MEMORY INCLUDING ON-DIE-TERMINATION CIRCUIT AND STORAGE DEVICE INCLUDING THE NONVOLATILE MEMORY - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18361132 titled 'NONVOLATILE MEMORY INCLUDING ON-DIE-TERMINATION CIRCUIT AND STORAGE DEVICE INCLUDING THE NONVOLATILE MEMORY
Simplified Explanation
The abstract of this patent application describes a nonvolatile memory (NVM) device that includes multiple NVM memory chips connected to a data pin and a control pin. One of the NVM chips has an on-die termination (ODT) circuit. The first NVM chip determines whether to operate in an ODT write mode or an ODT read mode based on control and ODT signals received through the control pin and the ODT pin. During the ODT write mode, the ODT circuit performs termination on the data pin, and during the ODT read mode, it performs termination on the control pin.
- The patent application describes a nonvolatile memory device with multiple memory chips connected to data and control pins.
- One of the memory chips includes an on-die termination (ODT) circuit.
- The first memory chip determines the ODT mode based on control and ODT signals received through the control and ODT pins.
- During the ODT write mode, the ODT circuit performs termination on the data pin.
- During the ODT read mode, the ODT circuit performs termination on the control pin.
Potential applications of this technology:
- Nonvolatile memory devices in various electronic devices such as computers, smartphones, and IoT devices.
- Memory systems that require efficient data transfer and control signal termination.
Problems solved by this technology:
- Efficient termination of data and control signals in nonvolatile memory devices.
- Improved performance and reliability of memory systems.
Benefits of this technology:
- Enhanced data transfer and signal integrity in nonvolatile memory devices.
- Improved overall performance and reliability of memory systems.
Original Abstract Submitted
A nonvolatile memory (NVM) device includes a data pin, a control pin, an on-die termination (ODT) pin, and a plurality of NVM memory chips commonly connected to the data pin and the control pin. A first NVM chip among the NVM chips includes an ODT circuit. The first NVM chip determines one of an ODT write mode and an ODT read mode based on a control signal received through the control pin and an ODT signal received through the ODT pin, uses the ODT circuit to perform an ODT on the data pin during the ODT write mode, and uses the ODT circuit to perform the ODT on the control pin during the ODT read mode.
