SEMICONDUCTOR STORAGE DEVICE - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240306405 titled 'SEMICONDUCTOR STORAGE DEVICE
The semiconductor storage device described in the patent application includes a memory chip with control signal pads, a data signal pad, and a control circuit.
- The control circuit is responsible for storing data in different registers based on the state of the control signals.
- When the first and second control signals are at a first state, data is stored in the data register.
- When the first control signal is at a second state and the second control signal is at the first state, data is stored in the command register.
- When the first control signal is at the first state and the second control signal is at the second state, data is stored in the address register.
- The control circuit also outputs status data when both control signals are at the second state.
Potential Applications: - This technology can be used in various types of semiconductor storage devices such as solid-state drives, memory cards, and embedded systems. - It can also be applied in data centers, servers, and other computing systems that require efficient data storage and retrieval.
Problems Solved: - The technology addresses the need for a more efficient and organized way of storing and accessing data in semiconductor storage devices. - It simplifies the control and management of data within the memory chip, improving overall performance and reliability.
Benefits: - Improved data storage efficiency and organization. - Enhanced data retrieval speed and accuracy. - Simplified control and management of data within the memory chip.
Commercial Applications: - The technology can be commercially utilized in the production of high-performance storage devices for consumer electronics, industrial applications, and data centers. - It has the potential to enhance the competitiveness of semiconductor storage device manufacturers in the market.
Questions about the Technology: 1. How does the control circuit differentiate between the different states of the control signals? 2. What are the potential limitations or challenges in implementing this technology in real-world applications?
