Abstract
In an embodiment, a memory device comprises memory, a first data link, a first input, a second input, a second data link, a first output and a second output. The first data link is configured to input one or more packets into the memory device. The first input is configured to input command strobe signals into the memory device that delineate command packets that are input into the memory device via the first data link. The second input is configured to input data strobe signals into the memory device that delineate data packets that are input into the memory device via the first data link. The first and second outputs are configured to output the command strobe signal and data strobe signal, respectively. The second data link is configured to output packets from the memory device.
Claims51
A memory device comprising:
- memory;
- a first data link configured to input one or more packets into the memory device;
- a first input configured to input a command strobe signal into the memory device, the command strobe signal delineating a first packet that is input into the memory device at the first data link, the first packet containing a command that is executed by the memory device;
- a second input configured to input a data strobe signal into the memory device, the data strobe signal delineating a second packet that is input into the memory device at the first data link, the second packet containing data;
- and
- circuitry configured to store the data in the memory in response to the command.
(canceled)
(canceled)
A method comprising:
- inputting an activated command strobe signal into a memory device at a first input of the memory device, the activated command strobe signal delineating a first packet that is input into the memory device at a first data link of the memory device, the first packet containing a command that is executed by the memory device;
- inputting an activated data strobe signal into the memory device at a second input of the memory device, the activated data strobe signal delineating a second packet that is input into the memory device at the first data link, the second packet containing data;
- and
- storing the data in memory contained in the memory device.
(canceled)
A memory device comprising:
- flash memory;
- a first input configured to receive packets of data;
- a second input configured to receive a strobe signal that delineates lengths of the packets of data received on the first input;
- and
- circuitry configured to process the received packets of data and modify the flash memory.
A method comprising:
- receiving packets of data on a first input;
- receiving a strobe signal on a second input, the strobe signal delineating the packets of data received on the first input;
- and
- processing the received packets of data to modify contents of flash memory.
A memory system comprising:
- a controller;
- and
- a memory device including flash memory;
- the controller configured to:
- output packets of data to the memory device on a first link;
- and
- output a strobe signal to the memory device on a second link, the strobe signal delineating the packets of data outputted on the first link to the memory device;
- the memory device configured to:
- receive the packets of data;
- receive the strobe signal to identify the packets of data;
- and
- process the received packets of data and modify the flash memory.
