EMPTY PAGE DETECTION - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240220345 titled 'EMPTY PAGE DETECTION
The abstract of this patent application describes a system component, such as a memory sub-system controller, that is configured to detect erroneous empty pages. The controller detects read errors when reading data from memory components and computes check failure unit count values to determine if the error corresponds to an empty page read error.
- The system component is configured to detect erroneous empty pages in memory components.
- The controller detects read errors during data retrieval and computes check failure unit count values.
- Check failure unit count values are compared to a threshold value to determine if the error corresponds to an empty page read error.
Potential Applications: - This technology can be applied in memory systems to improve error detection and data integrity. - It can be used in storage devices to enhance reliability and prevent data loss.
Problems Solved: - Detecting and addressing read errors in memory components. - Improving data integrity and preventing data corruption.
Benefits: - Enhanced error detection capabilities. - Improved reliability and data integrity in memory systems. - Prevention of data loss due to read errors.
Commercial Applications: Title: Enhanced Error Detection System for Memory Sub-System Controllers This technology can be utilized in various industries such as data storage, cloud computing, and telecommunications to ensure data integrity and prevent data loss.
Questions about the technology: 1. How does this technology improve error detection in memory systems? - This technology enhances error detection by computing check failure unit count values and comparing them to a threshold value to determine if a read error corresponds to an empty page read error.
2. What are the potential applications of this technology in the data storage industry? - This technology can be applied in data storage devices to improve data integrity, prevent data loss, and enhance reliability.
Original Abstract Submitted
aspects of the present disclosure configure a system component, such as a memory sub-system controller, to detect erroneous empty pages. the controller detects a read error associated with reading data from a set of memory components in accordance with an individual read level of a plurality of read levels. in response to detecting the read error, the controller computes one or more check failure unit count values corresponding to the individual read level. the controller compares the one or more check failure unit count values to a threshold value and determines whether the read error corresponds to an empty page read error based on a result of comparing the one or more check failure unit count values to the threshold value.
