  • Method for managing multi-channel memory device to have improved channel switch response time and related memory control system
    Patent number: 10037275
    Abstract: A method for managing a multi-channel memory device includes at least following steps: when the multi-channel memory device is controlled to operate in an M-channel mode, reserving a partial memory space in the multi-channel memory device that is not used under the M-channel mode, where M and N are positive integers, and M is smaller than N; and when the multi-channel memory device is controlled to switch from the M-channel mode to an N-channel mode, accessing data in the reserved partial memory space used under the N-channel mode.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: November 3, 2015
    Date of Patent: July 31, 2018
    Assignee: MEDIATEK INC.

  • Method for managing multi-channel memory device to have improved channel switch response time and related memory control system
    Patent number: 9965384
    Abstract: A method for managing a multi-channel memory device includes at least following steps: when the multi-channel memory device is controlled to operate in an M-channel mode, reserving a partial memory space across N memory channels of the multi-channel memory device, where the reserved partial memory space is not used under the M-channel mode, M and N are positive integers, and M is smaller than N; and when the multi-channel memory device is controlled to switch from the M-channel mode to an N-channel mode, accessing data in the reserved partial memory space across the N memory channels used under the N-channel mode. The method for managing a multi-channel memory device can improve switch response time.
