PERSISTENT HEALTH MONITORING FOR VOLATILE MEMORY SYSTEMS
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20250103416 titled 'PERSISTENT HEALTH MONITORING FOR VOLATILE MEMORY SYSTEMS
Original Abstract Submitted
methods, systems, and devices for persistent health monitoring for volatile memory devices are described. a memory device may determine that an operating condition associated with an array of memory cells on the device, such as a temperature, current, voltage, or other metric of health status is outside of a range associated with a risk of device degradation. the memory device may monitor a duration over which the operating condition is outside of the range, and may determine whether the duration satisfies a threshold. in some cases, the memory device may store an indication of when (e.g., each time) the duration satisfied the threshold. the memory device may store the one or more indications in one or more non-volatile storage elements, such as fuses, which may enable the memory device to maintain a persistent indication of a cumulative duration over which the memory device is operated with operating conditions outside of the range.
