  • Patent number: 8862901
    Abstract: A memory subsystem and method for loading and storing data at memory addresses of the subsystem. The memory subsystem is functionally connected to a processor and has a first mode of address encryption to convert logical memory addresses generated by the processor into physical memory addresses at which the data are stored in the memory subsystem. The memory subsystem is adapted to pull low a write enable signal to store data in the memory subsystem and to pull high the write enable signal to load data in the memory subsystem, wherein if pulled high the write enable signal alters the address encryption from the first mode to a second mode. The memory subsystem is adapted to be coupled to a local hardware device which supplies a key that acts upon the address encryption of the memory subsystem.

  • Patent number: 8688892
    Abstract: A system and method for increasing DDR memory bandwidth in DDR SDRAM modules are provided. DDR memory has an inherent feature called the Variable Early Read command, where the read command is issued on CAS latency before the completion of the ongoing data burst and the effect of the CAS latency is minimized in terms of the effect on bandwidth. The system and method optimizes the remaining two access latencies (tRP and tRCD) for optimal bandwidth.

  • Patent number: 8060756
    Abstract: A system and method is described for enhancing data security in a broad range of electronic systems through encryption and decryption of addresses in physical memory to which data is written and from which data is read. It can be implemented through software, hardware, firmware or any combination thereof. Implementation in Digital Rights Management execution using the invention reduces cost, enhances performance, and provides additional transactional security.
