TECHNIQUES FOR INDICATING ROW ACTIVATION - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18408228 titled 'TECHNIQUES FOR INDICATING ROW ACTIVATION

Simplified Explanation: The patent application describes methods, systems, and devices for indicating row activation in memory devices. This involves starting some aspects of an activation operation before receiving the associated activation command, based on an indication received.

  • Memory device receives an indication linked to an activation command.
  • Indication may include the location of the next row to access.
  • Indication can be part of a previous activation command or a precharge command.
  • Activation operations for the next row can begin before the precharge operation of the current row is complete.
  • Memory device completes activation operations upon receiving the activation command.

Key Features and Innovation:

  • Pre-activation indication for row access in memory devices.
  • Optimization of activation operations by starting before receiving the full command.
  • Efficient utilization of memory device resources.
  • Enhanced performance and speed in memory operations.
  • Improved overall memory access efficiency.

Potential Applications:

  • Computer systems
  • Mobile devices
  • Data centers
  • Embedded systems
  • IoT devices

Problems Solved:

  • Enhancing memory access speed
  • Optimizing memory device resources
  • Improving overall system performance
  • Streamlining memory operations
  • Increasing efficiency in data processing

Benefits:

  • Faster memory access times
  • Enhanced system performance
  • Efficient use of memory resources
  • Improved data processing capabilities
  • Overall increase in system efficiency

Commercial Applications: The technology can be applied in various industries such as:

  • Computer hardware manufacturing
  • Mobile device production
  • Data center operations
  • Embedded system development
  • IoT device manufacturing

Questions about Row Activation: 1. How does the indication of the next row to access improve memory device performance? 2. What are the potential implications of starting activation operations before receiving the full command?

Frequently Updated Research: Stay updated on the latest advancements in memory device technology and optimization techniques to maximize system performance and efficiency.


Original Abstract Submitted

Methods, systems, and devices for techniques for indicating row activation are described. A memory device may receive an indication associated with an activation command, which may enable the memory device to begin some aspects of an activation operation before receiving the associated activation command. The indication may include a location of a next row to access as part of the activation command. The indication may be included in a previous activation command or in a precharge command. The memory device may begin activation operations for the next row before the precharge operation of the current row is complete. The memory device may receive the activation command for the next row after receiving the indication, and may complete the activation operations upon receiving the activation command.
