Abstract: A data storage system can utilize one or more data storage devices that employ a solid-state non-volatile read destructive memory consisting of ferroelectric memory cells. 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 data storage system for use in a high radiation environment runs first and second operating time counters to monitor a field-programmable, gate array (FPGA) configured as a storage controller. Based on the first operating time counter passing a first threshold, the FPGA is fully reprogrammed. Based on the second operating time counter passing a second threshold less than the first threshold, the FPGA is partially reprogrammed.

Abstract: A data storage system for use in a high radiation environment includes an array of storage drives. Each storage drive includes a non-radiation-hardened drive controller, a non-radiation-hardened, non-volatile, storage medium, and a non-radiation-hardened volatile memory. The system includes a radiation-hardened storage controller coupled to the array. The radiation-hardened storage controller provides failure-resistant data redundancy among the storage drives of the array and provides host access to the array.

Abstract: A data storage system can employ a read destructive memory configured to fill a first cache with a first data set from a data repository prior to populating a second cache with a second data set describing the first data set with the first and second cache each having non-volatile ferroelectric memory cells. An entirety of the first cache may be read in response to a cache hit in the second cache with the cache hit responsive to a data read command from a host and with the first cache being read without a refresh operation restoring the data of the first cache.

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: 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.
