MULTIPLE-PASS PROGRAMMING OF MEMORY CELLS USING TEMPORARY PARITY GENERATION - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240302999 titled 'MULTIPLE-PASS PROGRAMMING OF MEMORY CELLS USING TEMPORARY PARITY GENERATION

The abstract of the patent application describes a method, system, and apparatus for managing data in memory.

• Receiving a write command with user data directed to memory blocks.
• Generating temporary parity data using user data portions.
• Storing temporary parity data and user data portions in a buffer.
• Programming blocks with two passes and invalidating user data portions after the second pass.
• Maintaining temporary parity data in the buffer until the second pass is completed.

Potential Applications: - Data storage systems - Memory management in electronic devices - Error correction in data storage

Problems Solved: - Efficient data management in memory - Ensuring data integrity during programming processes

Original Abstract Submitted

methods, systems, and apparatuses include receiving a write command including user data. the write command is directed to a portion of memory including a first and second block and a first and second user data portion are directed to the first and second block. temporary parity data is generated using the first and second user data portions. the temporary parity data and the first and second user data portions are stored in a buffer. portions of the first and second block are programmed with two programming passes. the first and second user data portions in the buffer are invalidated in response to a completion of the second programming pass of the portions of the first and second blocks. the temporary parity data is maintained in the buffer until a second programming pass of the first and second block.
