MANAGING ASYNCHRONOUS POWER LOSS IN A MEMORY DEVICE - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18524721 titled 'MANAGING ASYNCHRONOUS POWER LOSS IN A MEMORY DEVICE

The system described in the patent application involves a plurality of memory devices, including both volatile and non-volatile memory devices, along with a processing device. The operations performed by the system include checking a parameter of the power supply of the volatile memory device against a threshold criterion, adjusting a parameter of a program operation if the threshold is met, and transferring data from the volatile memory device to a specific location on the non-volatile memory device based on the modified parameter value.

  • The system checks the power supply parameter of the volatile memory device.
  • If the parameter meets a threshold criterion, it adjusts a program operation parameter.
  • The modified parameter value is used to transfer data from volatile to non-volatile memory.
  • This process helps optimize the performance and efficiency of the memory devices.
