Innogrit Technologies Assigned Three Patents

Command based on-die termination for high-speed NAND interface
Innogrit Technologies Co., Ltd., Shanghai, China, has been assigned a patent (11,200,190) developed by Zhao, Gang, Chandler, AZ, Jiang, Wei, Fremont, CA, Chen, Jie, Milpitas, CA, and Chen, Lin, Cupertino, CA, for a “command based on-die termination for high-speed NAND interface.“

The abstract of the patent published by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office states: “Systems, apparatus and methods are provided for multi-drop multi-load NAND interface topology where a number of NAND flash devices share a common data bus with a NAND controller. A method for controlling on-die termination in a non-volatile storage device may comprise receiving a chip enable signal on a chip enable signal line from a controller, receiving an on-die termination (ODT) command on a data bus from the controller while the chip enable signal is on, decoding the on-die termination command and applying termination resistor (RTT) settings in the ODT command to a selected non-volatile storage unit at the non-volatile storage device to enable ODT for the selected non-volatile storage unit.”

The patent application was filed on April 21, 2020 (16/853,868).

Writing data to storage device using aggregated queues
Innogrit Technologies Co., Ltd., Shanghai, China, has been assigned a patent (11,188,263) developed by Li, Lei, Chu, Ying, Cheng, Qian, and Zhao, Qun, Shanghai, China, for a “method of writing data to a storage device using aggregated queues.“

The abstract of the patent published by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office states: “The present disclosure relates to a method for data writing, a device and a storage medium, wherein the method includes acquiring a first data to be written and saving a plurality of sub-blocks of the first data in one or more designated aggregated queue of multiple aggregated queues according to an aggregation strategy, performing, in each designated aggregated queue, data interception on a plurality of sub-blocks in a current queue to obtain a second data to be written, and writing the second data in a storage device. The data distribution written in the storage device becomes more ideal by a multi-queue aggregation, and thus the method for data writing according to the embodiments of the present disclosure can reduce the time consumed in reading the storage device effectively.”

The patent application was filed on January 18, 2020 (16/746,845).

Storage device, system, and data writing
Innogrit Technologies Co., Ltd., Shanghai, China, has been assigned a patent (11,188,245) developed by Wen, Hui, Zhao, Qun, Cheng, Qian, Chu, Ying , and Hsu, Cheng-Yun,Shanghai, China, for “data storage device, system, and data writing method.“

The abstract of the patent published by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office states: “The present disclosure relates to a data storage device, system, and a data writing method. The device comprises a controller and a plurality of storage blocks, each storage block consisting of an idle storage block and a non-idle storage block, the controller connecting to each storage block respectively, wherein the controller is configured to generate, when receiving a data writing command, a self-adapting adjustment instruction according to a comparison between a storage distribution state of the storage block and a first threshold value to configure the idle-storage block as an SLC block or an XLC block, the storage block is configured to correspondingly adjust the storage distribution state according to the self-adapting adjustment instruction to store written data in the SLC block or the XLC block of the idle storage block. By dynamically configuring the storage blocks as an SLC block or an XLC block according to the storage distribution state, the data storage device, system, and the data writing method according to the embodiments of the present disclosure is capable of maintaining the reading/writing performance of the storage device for a relatively long period.”

The patent application was filed on January 18, 2020 (16/746,842).
