READING METHOD FOR A MEMORY - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18583568 titled 'READING METHOD FOR A MEMORY
The present disclosure describes a method for reading a word in a memory device, where the word is part of a set of words that can be read by the memory device, with each word containing at least one byte of data stored in memory cells. The method involves pre-charging the first set and at least a second set of words, with the first terminal of each cell in both sets floating during the pre-charging step.
- Pre-charging step for the first and second sets of words in a memory device.
- Each word in the set contains at least one byte of data.
- Memory cells store the words.
- First terminal of each cell is floating during pre-charging.
Potential Applications: - Memory devices - Data storage systems - Computer hardware
Problems Solved: - Efficient reading of words in memory devices - Optimal data retrieval from memory cells
Benefits: - Improved data access speed - Enhanced memory device performance
Commercial Applications: Title: "Enhanced Memory Reading Method for Faster Data Access" This technology can be used in various memory devices, data storage systems, and computer hardware to improve data access speed and overall performance, leading to better user experience and efficiency in data retrieval processes.
Questions about the technology: 1. How does the pre-charging step improve the reading of words in memory devices?
- The pre-charging step ensures that the first and second sets of words are ready for efficient reading, enhancing the overall performance of the memory device.
2. What are the potential benefits of implementing this method in memory devices?
- The method can lead to faster data access speed, improved memory device performance, and enhanced user experience.
Original Abstract Submitted
The present disclosure relates to a method of reading a word in a memory device, wherein the word is comprised in a first set of words that can be read by the memory device, each word of the first set comprising at least one byte of data, each word being contained in memory cells, the method comprising a pre-charging step during which the first set and at least a second set of words are pre-charged, a first terminal of each cell of the first and second sets being floating during the pre-charging step.
