EMPTY PAGE SCAN OPERATIONS ADJUSTMENT - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240231666 titled 'EMPTY PAGE SCAN OPERATIONS ADJUSTMENT
The abstract of the patent application describes a system component, such as a memory sub-system controller, that is configured to perform empty page scan operations. The controller selects an empty portion of memory components ready to be programmed, reads signals from this portion, generates an error count value based on the signals to determine if it is valid for programming, and updates the scan frequency for future operations based on this error count value.
- The system component, like a memory sub-system controller, is set up to conduct empty page scan operations efficiently.
- It selects empty memory components that are prepared for programming.
- Signals are read from the selected memory components to assess their readiness for programming.
- An error count value is generated to determine the validity of the selected memory components for programming.
- The scan frequency for empty page scan operations is adjusted based on the error count value.
Potential Applications: - This technology can be applied in memory systems to improve efficiency and reliability. - It can be used in data storage devices to enhance performance and reduce errors.
Problems Solved: - Enhances the efficiency of empty page scan operations in memory systems. - Improves the accuracy of selecting memory components for programming.
Benefits: - Increases the reliability of memory systems. - Reduces errors in data storage devices. - Enhances the overall performance of memory components.
Commercial Applications: Title: Enhanced Memory Sub-System Controller for Improved Data Storage This technology can be utilized in various commercial applications such as: - Data centers - Cloud storage services - Consumer electronics
Questions about the technology: 1. How does this technology improve the efficiency of memory systems?
- This technology streamlines the process of selecting and programming memory components, reducing errors and enhancing overall performance.
2. What are the potential benefits of using this enhanced memory sub-system controller?
- The benefits include increased reliability, reduced errors, and improved performance in data storage devices.
Original Abstract Submitted
aspects of the present disclosure configure a system component, such as memory sub-system controller, to perform empty page scan operations. the controller selects a portion of the set of memory components that is empty and ready to be programmed. the controller reads one or more signals from the selected portion of the set of memory components. the controller generates an error count value representing whether the portion of the set of memory components is valid for programming based on a result of reading the one or more signals from the selected portion. the controller updates a scan frequency for performing the empty page scan operations for the portion of the set of memory components based on the error count value.
