MEMORY SYSTEM - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18590217 titled 'MEMORY SYSTEM

The abstract of this patent application describes a memory system that includes a nonvolatile memory and a controller. The controller is designed to select one of multiple read retry processes with different average required times based on the reliability of a specific area of the nonvolatile memory where a read process is to be carried out, and then execute the chosen read retry process.

  • The memory system includes a nonvolatile memory and a controller.
  • The controller selects a read retry process based on the reliability of the target area in the nonvolatile memory.
  • Different read retry processes have varying average required times.
  • The controller executes the selected read retry process to improve the read process in the nonvolatile memory.

Potential Applications: - Data storage systems - Embedded systems - Industrial automation

Problems Solved: - Enhancing reliability of read processes in nonvolatile memory - Improving data retrieval efficiency

Benefits: - Increased data integrity - Enhanced system performance - Reduced error rates in memory operations

Commercial Applications: Title: "Advanced Memory Systems for Enhanced Data Reliability" This technology can be utilized in various commercial applications such as data centers, IoT devices, and automotive systems to ensure reliable data storage and retrieval.

Questions about Memory System with Read Retry Processes: 1. How does the controller determine which read retry process to select based on the reliability of the target area in the nonvolatile memory? 2. What are the potential implications of using different read retry processes with varying average required times on system performance and data integrity?


Original Abstract Submitted

A memory system includes a nonvolatile memory; and a controller configured to (i) select one of a plurality of read retry processes having different average required times, respectively, based on reliability of a target area of the nonvolatile memory on which a read process is to be executed and (ii) execute the selected read retry process.
