MEMORY EXPANDER AND COMPUTING SYSTEM INCLUDING THE SAME - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18448701 titled 'MEMORY EXPANDER AND COMPUTING SYSTEM INCLUDING THE SAME
The memory expander described in the patent application consists of memory sub-modules, power management integrated circuits, a controller, and a power controller. The memory sub-modules store data and each contains one or more memories. The power management integrated circuits supply power independently to the memory sub-modules. The controller communicates with an external device, controls the operations of the memory sub-modules, and checks for abnormalities. The power controller manages the power management integrated circuits and can block power to a memory sub-module if it becomes abnormal.

Original Abstract Submitted
A memory expander includes memory sub-modules, power management integrated circuits, a controller, and a power controller. The memory sub-modules store data, and each of the memory sub-modules includes one or more memories. The power management integrated circuits independently supply powers to the memory sub-modules, respectively. The controller communicates with an external device through an interface (e.g., compute express link (CXL)), controls operations of the memory sub-modules, and checks whether the memory sub-modules are abnormal. The power controller controls operations of the power management integrated circuits. In response to a first memory sub-module becoming abnormal, the power controller controls a first power management integrated circuit to block a first power supplied to the first memory sub-module.
