Hybrid memory module having volatile memory subsystem and module controller configurable to provide data to accompany externally sourced data strobes to volatile memory subsystem
By Francis Pelletier | August 14, 2024 at 2:00 pmNetlist, Inc., Irvine, CA, has been assigned a patent (12026397) developed by Park; Jeekyoung, and Horwich; Jordan, Irvine, CA, for “hybrid memory module having a volatile memory subsystem and a module controller configurable to provide data to accompany externally sourced data strobes to the volatile memory subsystem.“
The abstract of the patent published by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office states: “A memory module according to some embodiments is operable in a computer system including a memory controller coupled to a memory channel. The memory module comprises a volatile memory subsystem, non-volatile (NV) memory subsystem and a module controller coupled to the volatile memory subsystem and the NV memory subsystem. The volatile memory subsystem includes dynamic random access memory (DRAM) devices and is configurable to communicate with the memory controller via the memory channel during memory read or write operations. The module controller is configured to output data strobe signals to accompany data from the volatile memory subsystem during a memory read operation and to output to accompany data strobes output by data buffers in response to data strobe signals from the memory controller during a system-initiated operation to transfer data from the NV memory subsystem to the volatile memory subsystem.”
The patent application was filed on 2022-11-29 (18/059966).
