Memory device with buffer and memory array for data storage
The patent application (Publication Number: US20240036735A1) describes a memory device with a unique configuration involving a memory controller, buffer, and memory array. The buffer's storage space is divided into groups corresponding to tiles in the memory array, allowing for efficient data storage and retrieval. The memory controller performs write operations based on these groups, enhancing the device's overall performance.
Furthermore, the memory device employs a hash function to assign physical addresses to pages within the tiles, optimizing data organization. The patent also outlines a method for reducing the number of write operations by reading data to the buffer before performing writes on memory tiles. Additionally, the buffer includes write counter values and written or not tables to track write operations on tiles, ensuring data integrity and efficient memory management. The operation method detailed in the patent involves establishing various tables and values in the buffer and memory array to monitor and control write operations, ultimately improving the memory device's functionality and reliability.
