    摘要: Described are an apparatus, system, and method for improving read endurance for a non-volatile memory (NVM). The method comprises: determining a read count corresponding to a block of NVM; identifying whether the block of NVM is a partially programmed block (PPB); comparing the read count with a first threshold when it is identified that the block is a PPB; and when identified otherwise, comparing the read count with a second threshold, wherein the first threshold is smaller than the second threshold. The method further comprises: identifying a block that is a PPB; determining a first word line corresponding to un-programmed page of the PPB; and sending the first word line to the NVM, wherein the NVM to apply: a first read voltage level to word lines corresponding to the un-programmed pages of the PPB, and a second read voltage level to word lines corresponding to programmed pages of the PPB.

    摘要: A hard disk drive that includes a disk with data written onto a plurality of tracks, a spindle motor that rotates the disk, and a head that is coupled to the disk. The disk drive also includes a circuit that writes data onto a first writable shingle band of tracks if the first writable shingle band is adjacent to a guard band of tracks. The first writable shingle band includes a number of tracks that is a function of a head width. The guard band of tracks is capable of becoming a writable shingle band. Changing the designation of a shingle band between guard and writable creates floating guard bands. The creation of floating guard bands allows for the writing of a single band without having to move and restore adjacent tracks until reaching a fixed guard band as required in the prior art.

    摘要: A method for standard reference cell design is herein disclosed. The method includes determining a first number of individual bits to be employed in a standard reference cell design based on the number of individual bits that are included in core memory cells that are to be measured using the standard reference cell. The method further includes determining a range of variation in the core memory cells to be measured that is due to process variation in the generation of the core memory cells. In addition, the method includes determining an additional number of individual bits to be included in the standard reference cell design based on the determined range of variation. A standard reference cell that includes a number of individual bits equal to the sum of both the first and the additional number of individual bits is generated.

    摘要: Methods are disclosed for determining tunnel oxide reliability of flash memory devices in a wafer prior to sorting and packaging without damaging or stressing the devices. The methods comprise measuring an initial threshold voltage of a test cell having the same tunnel oxide as other flash cells on the wafer, applying an erase stress to the test cell for a first time period and a program stress to the test cell for a second time period, and measuring the final threshold voltage of the test cell. The difference between the initial and final threshold voltages is then used to determine or estimate the tunnel oxide reliability of the flash memory cells on the wafer.

    摘要: Provided in the present disclosure are a spectrum management device and method, a geographic location database, a coexistence discovery device, and subsystems for use in a radio communication system comprising a main system and subsystems. The spectrum management device comprises: a processing circuit, which is configured to: acquire spectrum usage information and spectrum adjustment capability information of subsystems managed by the spectrum management device, the spectrum usage information corresponding to information related to used spectrums assigned to and used by each subsystem, the spectrum adjustment capability information corresponding to information related to whether the subsystems support a spectrum adjustment operation, and an adjustment of the spectrums of the subsystems managed by the spectrum management device is determined on the basis of the spectrum usage information and the spectrum adjustment capability information, thus the interference caused by the subsystems as a result of spectrum usage to the main system is limited within a permissible range of the main system. The spectrum management device and method, the geographic location database, the coexistence discovery device, and the subsystems of the present disclosure achieve highly efficient use of spectrum resources.

    摘要: A frequency spectrum management device includes a processing circuit and is configured so that: a first subsystem manages the frequency spectrum management device, an allocation coefficient between other subsystems and the first subsystem is determined on the basis of the distances from the first subsystem and the other subsystems to a main system, the allocation coefficient expresses the degree of interference of aggregated interference that the other subsystems and the first subsystem produce with respect to the main system; and a frequency spectrum resource is allocated to the first subsystem on the basis of the allocation coefficient. The use of the frequency spectrum management device, the electronic device, and the method executed thereby of the present disclosure increases the degree of rationality of frequency spectrum resource allocation for the subsystems.
