MEMORY SYSTEM - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18458095 titled 'MEMORY SYSTEM
The memory system described in the patent application includes a nonvolatile memory and a controller connected to it. The controller performs specific actions to manage data transmission to the nonvolatile memory efficiently.
- The controller sends a write command and an address to the nonvolatile memory through a signal line.
- During a specific period between transmitting the address and the write data, the controller sends dummy data to the nonvolatile memory via the same signal line.
- After transmitting the dummy data, the controller sends a data strobe signal to the nonvolatile memory through a different signal line.
- The write data of the write command is then transmitted to the nonvolatile memory via the first signal line in synchronization with the data strobe signal.
Potential Applications: - This technology can be applied in various memory systems, such as solid-state drives, embedded systems, and IoT devices. - It can enhance the efficiency and reliability of data storage and retrieval processes in electronic devices.
Problems Solved: - Improves data transmission speed and accuracy in nonvolatile memory systems. - Enhances the overall performance and longevity of memory devices.
Benefits: - Faster and more reliable data storage and retrieval. - Increased efficiency in managing memory systems. - Improved durability and lifespan of memory devices.
Commercial Applications: Title: Advanced Memory System for Enhanced Data Management This technology can be utilized in the development of high-performance storage solutions for consumer electronics, industrial applications, and data centers. It can revolutionize the way data is stored and accessed, leading to more efficient and reliable memory systems.
Questions about the technology: 1. How does this memory system improve data transmission compared to traditional methods? 2. What are the potential cost savings associated with implementing this technology in memory devices?
Original Abstract Submitted
A memory system includes a nonvolatile memory and a controller electrically connected to the nonvolatile memory. The controller is configured to: after transmitting a write command and an address to the nonvolatile memory via a first signal line, transmit dummy data to the nonvolatile memory via the first signal line during at least a portion of a period that is between when the address is transmitted via the first signal line and when write data of the write command is transmitted via the first signal line, and after transmitting the dummy data via the first signal line, transmit a data strobe signal to the nonvolatile memory via a second signal line and transmit the write data of the write command to the nonvolatile memory via the first signal line in synchronization with the data strobe signal.
