Title:
MEMORY PRIMING AND INITIALIZATION SYSTEMS AND METHODS
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2022/155798
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
The systems and methods are configured to efficiently and effectively prime and initialize a memory. A memory controller (130) includes a normal data path (131) and a priming path (132). The normal data path (131) directs storage operations during a normal memory read/write operation after power startup of a memory chip. The priming path (132) includes a priming module (133), wherein the priming module (133) directs memory priming operations during a power startup of the memory chip, including forwarding a priming pattern for storage in an a write pattern mode register of a memory chip and selection of a memory address in the memory chip for initialization with the priming pattern. The priming pattern includes information corresponding to proper initial data values. The priming pattern can also include proper corresponding error correction code (ECC) values. The priming module (133) can include a priming pattern register that stores the priming pattern.
