Abstract:
A method for operating a storage device includes sending a request for a internal operation time for an internal operation to an external device, receiving an internal operation command corresponding to the request from the external device, and performing the internal operation during the internal operation time based on the internal operation command.
Abstract:
A nonvolatile memory device includes a nonvolatile memory, a volatile memory being a cache memory of the nonvolatile memory, and a first controller configured to control the nonvolatile memory. The nonvolatile memory device further includes a second controller configured to receive a device write command and an address, and transmit, to the volatile memory through a first bus, a first read command and the address and a first write command and the address sequentially, and transmit a second write command and the address to the first controller through a second bus, in response to the reception of the device write command and the address.
Abstract:
An electronic device includes a memory controller; a first memory device coupled to the memory controller; a second memory device coupled to the memory controller, the second memory device being a different type of memory from the first memory device; and a conversion circuit between the memory controller and the second memory device. The memory controller is configured to send a first command and first data to the first memory device according to a first timing scheme to access the first memory device, and send a second command and a packet to the conversion circuit according to the first timing scheme to access the second memory device. The conversion circuit is configured to receive the second command and the packet, and access the second memory device based on the second command and the packet.
Abstract:
A memory system includes a central processing unit (CPU), a nonvolatile memory electrically coupled to the CPU and a main memory, which is configured to swap an incoming code page for a target code page therein, in response to a first command issued by the CPU. The main memory can be configured to swap the target code page in the main memory to the nonvolatile memory in the event a page capacity of the main memory is at a threshold capacity. The CPU may also be configured to perform a frequency of use analysis on the target code page to determine whether the target code page is to be swapped to the nonvolatile memory or discarded. The incoming code page may be provided by a disk drive storage device and the main memory may be a volatile memory.

Abstract:
A memory system includes a memory controller, a memory cell array, a location information storage unit, an address mapping table, an address conversion unit, and a mapping information calculation unit. The memory controller generates a logical address signal and an address re-mapping command. The memory cell array includes a plurality of logic blocks. The location information storage unit stores location information corresponding to faulty memory cells included in the memory cell array. The address mapping table stores address mapping information. The address conversion unit converts the logical address signal to a physical address signal corresponding to the memory cell array based on the address mapping information. The mapping information calculation unit generates the address mapping information to reduce the number of logic blocks including the faulty memory cells based on the location information upon the mapping information calculation unit receiving the address re-mapping command.
Abstract:
A memory system includes first and second memory devices, a memory controller configured to control the second memory device, to store a request signal to access the first memory device, and to generate an interrupt signal, and a host configured to receive the request signal in response to the interrupt signal.
Abstract:
A memory sub-system includes a main memory, a storage device, a control unit, and a common interface unit. The control unit is configured to control the main memory and the storage device. The common interface unit is operatively coupled to the control unit, and is configured to access the main memory and the storage device through the control unit in response to a request received from a host.
Abstract:
A memory module includes a memory controller including: a host layer; a media layer coupled to a non-volatile memory; and a logic core coupled to the host layer, the media layer, and a volatile memory, the logic core storing a first write group table including a plurality of rows, and the logic core being configured to: receive a persistent write command including a cache line address and a write group identifier; receive data associated with the persistent write command; write the data to the volatile memory at the cache line address; store the cache line address in a selected buffer of a plurality of buffers in a second write group table, the selected buffer corresponding to the write group identifier; and update a row of the first write group table to identify locations of the selected buffer containing valid entries, the row corresponding to the write group identifier.
Abstract:
A memory system may comprise a plurality of data strobe transfer paths assigned to a plurality of data transfer paths such that each of the plurality of data strobe transfer paths may be shared by the plurality of data transfer paths. At least one selected data strobe transfer path is selected and data signals transferred through the plurality of data transfer paths are sampled using at least one data strobe signal transferred through the selected data strobe transfer path. Reliability of data communication is enhanced through a redundant data strobe scheme by assigning a plurality of data strobe transfer paths to a plurality of data transfer paths such that the plurality of data strobe transfer paths may be shared by the plurality of data transfer paths.
