TECHNIQUES FOR INDICATING A WRITE LINK ERROR - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18590671 titled 'TECHNIQUES FOR INDICATING A WRITE LINK ERROR

The abstract describes methods, systems, and devices for indicating a write link error in memory devices.

  • Memory device receives a write command, data, and error control bits from a host device.
  • Memory device detects an uncorrectable error in the data using the error control bits.
  • A second set of error control bits is generated based on the detection of the uncorrectable error.
  • Data and the second set of error control bits are stored in the memory device.
  • An indication of the uncorrectable error is transmitted to the host device based on the second set of error control bits.

Potential Applications: - Data storage systems - Computer memory devices - Error detection and correction technologies

Original Abstract Submitted

Methods, systems, and devices for techniques for indicating a write link error are described. The method may include a memory device receiving, from a host device, a write command, data, and a first set of error control bits for the data. The memory device may determine that the data includes an uncorrectable error using the first set of error control bits and generate a second set of error control bits for the data based on determining that the data includes the uncorrectable error. Further, the method may include the memory device storing the data and the second set of error control bits in a memory device and transmitting, to the host device, the data and an indication that the data received from the host device included the uncorrectable error based on the second set of error control bits.
