TRIM SETTING DETERMINATION FOR A MEMORY DEVICE - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240161846 titled 'TRIM SETTING DETERMINATION FOR A MEMORY DEVICE

Simplified Explanation

The present disclosure involves apparatuses and methods related to a memory system with a controller and an array of memory cells. The controller receives operational characteristics of the memory cells, determines trim settings based on these characteristics, and sends the settings to the memory cells.

  • The apparatus includes a controller that analyzes the operational characteristics of the memory cells.
  • The controller then determines a set of trim settings based on the analyzed operational characteristics.
  • The set of trim settings is associated with desired operational characteristics for the memory cells.
  • Finally, the controller sends the set of trim settings to the memory cells.

Potential Applications

This technology could be applied in:

  • Solid-state drives
  • Embedded systems
  • Mobile devices

Problems Solved

This technology helps in:

  • Improving memory cell performance
  • Extending the lifespan of memory cells
  • Enhancing overall system reliability

Benefits

The benefits of this technology include:

  • Optimized memory cell operation
  • Increased system efficiency
  • Enhanced data retention capabilities

Potential Commercial Applications

This technology could be commercially applied in:

  • Consumer electronics
  • Data centers
  • Automotive industry

Possible Prior Art

One possible prior art could be the use of trim settings in memory systems to optimize performance and reliability.

What are the specific operational characteristics analyzed by the controller in the memory cells?

The specific operational characteristics analyzed by the controller could include factors such as read/write speeds, error rates, and power consumption of the memory cells.

How does the controller determine the set of trim settings based on the operational characteristics of the memory cells?

The controller likely uses algorithms and data analysis techniques to correlate the operational characteristics with the desired settings for optimal performance and reliability of the memory cells.


Original Abstract Submitted

the present disclosure includes apparatuses and methods related to a memory system including a controller and an array of memory cells. an example apparatus can include a controller configured to receive operational characteristics of an array of memory cells based on prior operations performed by the array of memory cells, determine a set of trim settings for the array of memory cells based on the operational characteristics of the array of memory cells, wherein the set of trim settings are associated with desired operational characteristics for the array of memory cells, and send the set of trim settings to the array of memory cells.
