  • Memory management technique for defective memory
    Patent number: 5537631
    Abstract: A memory management technique is provided for managing the storage and retrieval of data within an ARAM memory array such that both fault tolerant data and fault non-tolerant data can be stored within the ARAM array without such data becoming corrupted due to the faulty bits within the ARAM memory. The memory management technique of the present invention also includes a method for creating a novel facsimile header format which makes it less likely for the header information to be corrupted due to faulty memory cells within the ARAM memory array.
