MEMORY CONTROLLER PERFORMING DATA TRAINING, SYSTEM-ON-CHIP INCLUDING THE MEMORY CONTROLLER, AND OPERATING METHOD OF THE MEMORY CONTROLLER - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18490042 titled 'MEMORY CONTROLLER PERFORMING DATA TRAINING, SYSTEM-ON-CHIP INCLUDING THE MEMORY CONTROLLER, AND OPERATING METHOD OF THE MEMORY CONTROLLER
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes a memory controller that includes various components to compare, adjust, and correct data received through different data lines. It also includes a training circuit to perform a training operation on the data and obtain a target read reference voltage for each piece of data.
- The memory controller has a first receiver that compares a read reference voltage with data received through a first data line and outputs a first piece of data.
- A first duty adjuster is included to adjust the duty of the first piece of data.
- The controller also has a second receiver that compares the read reference voltage with data received through a second data line and outputs a second piece of data.
- A second duty adjuster is included to adjust the duty of the second piece of data.
- A training circuit is present to perform a training operation on data received through multiple data lines.
- The training circuit obtains a target read reference voltage for each piece of data and corrects the duty of each piece of data based on the level of the target read reference voltage.
Potential Applications:
- Memory controllers can be used in various electronic devices such as computers, smartphones, and gaming consoles.
- This technology can be applied in data storage systems, improving the performance and reliability of memory operations.
Problems Solved:
- The memory controller addresses the issue of data corruption or errors during memory operations by comparing and adjusting the received data.
- It solves the problem of inconsistent read reference voltage by performing a training operation and obtaining a target read reference voltage for each piece of data.
Benefits:
- Improved data accuracy and reliability in memory operations.
- Enhanced performance and efficiency of memory controllers.
- Increased overall system stability and functionality.
Original Abstract Submitted
A memory controller includes a first receiver configured to compare a read reference voltage with a piece of data received through a first data line and output a first piece of data; a first duty adjuster configured to adjust a duty of the first piece of data; a second receiver configured to compare the read reference voltage with a piece of data received through a second data line and output a second piece of data; a second duty adjuster configured to adjust a duty of the second piece of data; and a training circuit configured to perform a training operation on pieces of data received through a plurality of data lines, to obtain a target read reference voltage for each piece of data and correct a duty of each piece of data based on a level of the target read reference voltage for each piece of data.
