    Abstract: The present application provides a data backup method and a restoration method for an NVDIMM, an NVDIMM controller and an NVDIMM. The NVDIMM (200) comprises a DRAM (201), a NAND flash memory (202) and an NVDIMM controller (100), the NVDIMM controller (100) controlling the NVDIMM (200) and comprising a DDR controller (101), a NAND flash memory controller (102), a data backup module (103) and a data restoration module (104), the DDR controller (101) using and enabling DBI mechanism. During data backup, the DDR controller (101) reads N-bit DQi and 1-bit DBI from the DRAM (201) and sends the same to the data backup module (103). When DBIi is “1”, the data backup module (103) compares the DQi and DQi-1. If the number of bits of the DQi and the DQi-1 with different values is greater than N/2, then the DQi is inverted and the DBIi is set to “0”, and otherwise the DQi and the DBIi are remained unchanged. When the DBIi is “0”, the DQi and the DBIi are remained unchanged.

  • Publication number: 20230032873
    Abstract: The battery provided in this application and having at least two ports is obtained by winding a first electrode and a second electrode that have a novel structure (for example, a plurality of tabs separately protrude from a first long side and a second long side of an electrode, and the tabs are disposed on a non-edge area). In addition, in the terminal device including the battery, the battery and another charging/discharging component may form at least two charging/discharging links, so that the terminal device can have a stronger fast charging capability, and heat dissipation pressure of each charging/discharging link can be relieved. Moreover, stress inside the battery is evenly distributed, so that interface deterioration of the electrode that is caused by stress unevenness can be alleviated. This effectively reduces a risk of shading and lithium plating generated in a cathode charging/discharging cycle, and improves performance of the battery.
