Abstract: Method and apparatus for managing a front-end cache formed of ferroelectric memory element (FME) cells. Prior to storage of writeback data associated with a pending write command from a client device, an intelligent cache manager circuit forwards a first status value indicative that sufficient capacity is available in the front-end cache for the writeback data. Non-requested speculative readback data previously transferred to the front-end cache from the main NVM memory store may be jettisoned to accommodate the writeback data. A second status value may be supplied to the client device if insufficient capacity is available to store the writeback data in the front-end cache, and a different, non-FME based cache may be used in such case. Mode select inputs can be supplied by the client device specify a particular quality of service level for the front-end cache, enabling selection of suitable writeback and speculative readback data processing strategies.

Abstract: This application relates to apparatus and methods for identifying fraudulent transactions. A computing device receives return data identifying the return of at least one item. The computing device obtains modified strategy data identifying at least one rule of a modified strategy. The rule may be based on the application of at least one discrete stochastic gradient descent algorithm to an initial strategy. The computing device applies the modified strategy to the received return data identifying the return of the at least one item, and determines whether the return of the at least one item is fraudulent based on the application of the modified strategy. The computing device generates fraud data identifying whether the return of the at least one item is fraudulent based on the determination, and may transmit the fraud data to another computing device to indicate whether the return is fraudulent.

Abstract: Apparatus and method for managing data in a non-volatile memory (NVM) having an array of ferroelectric memory cells (FMEs). A data set received from an external client device is programmed to a group of the FMEs at a target location in the NVM using a selected profile. The selected profile provides different program characteristics, such as applied voltage magnitude and pulse duration, to achieve desired levels of power used during the program operation, endurance of the data set, and latency effects associated with a subsequent read operation to retrieve the data set. The profile may be selected from among a plurality of profiles for different operational conditions. The ferroelectric NVM may form a portion of a solid-state drive (SSD) storage device. Different types of FMEs may be utilized including ferroelectric tunneling junctions (FTJs), ferroelectric random access memory (FeRAM), and ferroelectric field effect transistors (FeFETs).

Abstract: A data storage system can employ a read destructive memory configured with multiple levels. A non-volatile memory unit can be programmed with a first logical state in response to a first write voltage of a first hysteresis loop by a write controller prior to being programmed to a second logical state in response to a second write voltage of the first hysteresis loop, as directed by the write controller. The first and second logical states may be present concurrently in the non-volatile memory unit and subsequently read concurrently as the first logical state and the second logical state.

A leveling strategy can be generated by a wear module connected to the memory with the leveling strategy prescribing a plurality of memory cell operating parameters associated with different amounts of cell wear. The wear module may monitor activity of a memory cell and detect an amount of wear in the memory cell as a result of the monitored activity, which can prompt changing a default set of operating parameters for the memory cell to a first stage of operating parameters, as prescribed by the leveling strategy, in response to the detected amount of wear.

Abstract: A non-volatile memory (NVM) is formed of memory cells each having multiple ferroelectric memory elements (FMEs). Each FME stores data in relation to an electrical polarity of a recording layer formed of ferroelectric or anti-ferroelectric material. Each multi-FME memory cell is coupled to a set of external control lines activated by a control circuit in a selected order to perform program and/or read operations upon the FMEs. The FMEs may share a nominally identical construction or may have different constructions. Data are programmed and written responsive to the respective program/read responses of the FMEs. Constructions can include ferroelectric tunneling junctions (FTJs), ferroelectric random access memory (FeRAM), and ferroelectric field effect transistors (FeFETs). The NVM may form a portion of a data storage device, such as a solid-state drive (SSD).

Abstract: Apparatus and method for managing data in a processing system, such as but not limited to a data storage device such as a solid-state drive (SSD). A ferroelectric stack register memory has a first arrangement of ferroelectric memory cells (FMEs) of a first construction and a second arrangement of FMEs of a different, second construction arranged to provide respective cache lines for use by a controller, such as a programmable processor.

Data sets can be migrated to the different arrangements by the controller as required based on the different operational characteristics of the respective FME constructions. The FMEs may be non-volatile and read-destructive. Refresh circuitry can be selectively enacted under different operational modes.

Abstract: A system on chip (SOC) integrated circuit device having an incorporated ferroelectric memory configured to be selectively refreshed, or not, depending on different operational modes. The ferroelectric memory is formed of an array of ferroelectric memory elements (FMEs) characterized as non-volatile, read-destructive semiconductor memory cells each having at least one ferroelectric layer. The FMEs can include FeRAM, FeFET or FTJ constructions. A read/write circuit writes data to the FMEs and subsequently reads back data from the FMEs responsive to respective write and read signals supplied by a processor circuit of the SOC. A refresh circuit is selectively enabled in a first normal mode to refresh the FMEs after a read operation, and is selectively disabled in a second exception mode so that the FMEs are not refreshed after a read operation. The FMEs can be used as a main memory, a cache, a buffer, an OTP, a keystore, etc.

Abstract: A memory device formed of ferroelectric field effect transistors (FeFETs). The memory device can be used as a front end buffer, such as in a data storage device having a non-volatile memory (NVM). A controller can be configured to transfer user data between the NVM and an external client (host) via the buffer. The FeFETs can be arranged in a two-dimensional (2D) or a three-dimensional (3D) array. A monitor circuit can be used to monitor operation of the FeFETs. An optimization controller can be used to adjust at least one operational parameter associated with the FeFETs responsive to the monitored operation by the monitor circuit. The FeFETs may require a refresh operation after each read operation. A power down sequence can involve a read operation without a subsequent refresh operation to wipe the FeFETs, the read operation jettisoning the data read from the buffer memory.

Abstract: A device may receive a query from a user device, and may process the query using a machine learning model to determine categories related to the query. The device may send a message, instructing a user to select a category, to the user device to cause the user device to display the message. The device may receive, from the user device, a selection related to the categories, and may call, based on the selection, a module to cause the module to process the query. The device may receive from the module a response to the query, and may send the response to the user device, to cause the user device to display the response. The device may send the query, the selection, and the response to one or more servers for storage, and may retrain the machine learning model based on information stored by the one or more servers.
