VOLTAGE WINDOW ADJUSTMENT - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17887244 titled 'VOLTAGE WINDOW ADJUSTMENT

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes a system that includes a memory component and a processing device.

  • The memory component consists of a group of memory cells.
  • The processing device is connected to the memory component.
  • The processing device is programmed to use a specific voltage range (first voltage window) for a set of memory cells during a specific time period.
  • If the processing device detects that the error rate of a subset of memory cells exceeds a certain threshold, it takes action.
  • In response to the high error rate, the processing device adjusts the voltage range (second voltage window) for the entire set of memory cells during a different time period.


Original Abstract Submitted

An example system can include a memory component and a processing device. The memory component can include a group of memory cells. The processing device can be coupled to the memory component. The processing device can be configured to use a first voltage window for a set of memory cells of the group of memory cells during a first time period. The processing device can be configured to determine that an error rate of a sub-set of the set of memory cells is above a threshold error rate. The processing device can be configured to, in response to the determination that the error rate of the sub-set of memory cells is above the threshold error rate, use a second voltage window for the set of memory cells of the group of memory cells during a second time period.
