MULTI-TIER HEALTH STATUS IN A MEMORY DEVICE - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240220110 titled 'MULTI-TIER HEALTH STATUS IN A MEMORY DEVICE
The abstract of this patent application describes control logic in a memory device that identifies a segment of a memory array and determines a health status for that segment from three or more possible health statuses. The control logic then provides this health status to a memory sub-system controller, which takes different actions based on the health status.
- The control logic in the memory device identifies and assesses the health status of memory segments.
- The memory sub-system controller receives the health status information and acts accordingly for each segment.
- Different actions are taken by the memory sub-system controller based on the health status of the memory segment.
- The technology allows for proactive maintenance and management of memory segments based on their health status.
- This innovation enhances the efficiency and reliability of memory devices by enabling targeted actions for different health statuses.
Potential Applications: - Data centers - Embedded systems - Consumer electronics - Industrial applications
Problems Solved: - Efficient management of memory segments - Proactive maintenance to prevent failures - Enhanced reliability of memory devices
Benefits: - Improved performance of memory devices - Reduced downtime due to proactive maintenance - Extended lifespan of memory arrays
Commercial Applications: Title: Memory Management System for Enhanced Reliability This technology can be utilized in various industries such as data centers, consumer electronics, and industrial applications to improve the efficiency and reliability of memory devices. By enabling targeted actions based on the health status of memory segments, this system enhances the overall performance and longevity of memory arrays.
Questions about Memory Management System for Enhanced Reliability: 1. How does this technology impact the overall reliability of memory devices? - This technology enhances the reliability of memory devices by enabling proactive maintenance based on the health status of memory segments. 2.
