Patents by Inventor Federico Tiziani

Federico Tiziani has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Publication number: 20120317347
    Abstract: Various embodiments comprise apparatuses and methods including a memory controller to control a non-volatile memory array. The memory controller includes a memory array interface coupled to the non-volatile memory array to perform reads and writes on the non-volatile memory array. An overwrite module is configured to write a desired bit value to a specific memory cell within the non-volatile memory array, after receiving the desired bit value and a logical address, regardless of an original value of the memory cell Additional apparatuses and methods are described.

  • Patent number: 8307151
    Abstract: An e-MMC memory having a controller for a NAND Flash and another controller for a Phase-Change Memory (PCM) in a memory managed system. The different memory technologies of the NAND Flash and PCM may be partitioned to segment available memory space to store different types of data or code while accounting for an attribute property stored in a register.

  • Patent number: 8250282
    Abstract: A memory controller for a phase change memory (PCM) that can be used on a storage bus interface is described. In one example, the memory controller includes an external bus interface coupled to an external bus to communicate read and write instructions with an external device, a memory array interface coupled to a memory array to perform reads and writes on a memory array, and an overwrite module to write a desired value to a desired address of the memory array.

  • Publication number: 20110307762
    Abstract: A single virtualized ECC NAND controller executes an ECC algorithm and manages a stack of NAND flash memories. The virtualized ECC NAND controller allows the host processor to drive the stack of flash memory devices as a single NAND chip while the controller redirects the data to the selected NAND memory device in the stack.
