MEMORY EXPANDER AND COMPUTING SYSTEM INCLUDING THE SAME - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240211424 titled 'MEMORY EXPANDER AND COMPUTING SYSTEM INCLUDING THE SAME
The memory expander described in the patent application consists of memory sub-modules, power management integrated circuits, a controller, and a power controller. The memory sub-modules store data, with each module containing one or more memories. The power management integrated circuits supply power independently to the memory sub-modules. The controller communicates with an external device through an interface, controls the operations of the memory sub-modules, and monitors their status. The power controller manages the operations of the power management integrated circuits. In case of an abnormality in a memory sub-module, the power controller can block the power supplied to that specific module.
- Memory expander with memory sub-modules, power management integrated circuits, a controller, and a power controller.
- Memory sub-modules store data and are powered independently by power management integrated circuits.
- Controller communicates with external devices, controls memory sub-module operations, and monitors their status.
- Power controller manages the power management integrated circuits and can block power to specific memory sub-modules in case of abnormalities.
- Innovative design for efficient memory expansion and power management in computing systems.

Original Abstract Submitted
a memory expander includes memory sub-modules, power management integrated circuits, a controller, and a power controller. the memory sub-modules store data, and each of the memory sub-modules includes one or more memories. the power management integrated circuits independently supply powers to the memory sub-modules, respectively. the controller communicates with an external device through an interface (e.g., compute express link (cxl)), controls operations of the memory sub-modules, and checks whether the memory sub-modules are abnormal. the power controller controls operations of the power management integrated circuits. in response to a first memory sub-module becoming abnormal, the power controller controls a first power management integrated circuit to block a first power supplied to the first memory sub-module.
