Netlist Assigned Patent

Netlist, Inc., Irvine, CA, has been assigned a patent (10,719,246) developed by Lee, Hyun, Ladera Ranch, CA, for a “non-volatile memory storage for multi-channel memory system.“

The abstract of the patent published by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office states: ”A memory system that has a multi-channel volatile memory subsystem is coupled to a non-volatile memory subsystem to provide independent, configurable backup of data. The volatile memory subsystem has one or more main memory modules that use a form of volatile memory such as DRAM memory, for which the NV subsystem provides selective persistent backup. The main memory modules are dual in-line memory modules or DIMMs using DDR SDRAM memory devices. The non-volatile memory subsystem (NV backup) includes an NV controller and non-volatile memory NVM. The NV backup can also include a memory cache to aid with handling and storage of data. In certain embodiments, the NV controller and the non-volatile memory are coupled to the one or more DIMM channels of the main memory via associated signal lines. Such signal lines can be, for example, traces on a motherboard, and may include one or more signal buses for conveying data, address, and/or control signals. The NV controller and the non-volatile memory can be mounted on the motherboard.”

The patent application was filed on May 10, 2018 (15/976,321).
