  • Publication number: 20240420761
    Abstract: Logic to provide improved endurance, performance, and power optimizing capabilities for a resistive memory, ferro-electric RAM (FeRAM) memory, or embedded flash memory is disclosed herein. In one embodiment, a memory subsystem comprises a resistive memory array; an adaptive aggregation memory buffer that has configurable settings for optimizing endurance, power, or performance of the memory subsystem; an endurance management and control logic (EMCL) coupled to the adaptive aggregation memory buffer; and an integrated processor coupled to the EMCL. At least one of the integrated processor and EMCL is configured to determine whether memory requests to a particular memory region during a time window can be aggregated into an aggregate memory request and to optimize memory settings, and to cause the aggregate memory request and memory settings to be sent to the resistive memory array, FeRAM memory, or embedded flash memory to optimize parameters including memory performance and memory endurance.

  • Patent number: 10726880
    Abstract: An apparatus for storing data in a magnetic random access memory (MRAM) is provided. The MRAM may store data in one or more resistance-based memory cells and may include a plurality of comparators to compare a voltage generated based on the resistance-based memory cells to a reference voltage to determine a stored logic state. In some implementations, the reference voltage may be generated by a plurality resistance-based memory cells. The reference voltage may be adjusted higher or lower by storing different logic states within the resistance-based memory cells.
