Embodiment Construction

[0018] Aspects of the present disclosure may be embodied as an apparatus, system, method or computer program product. Accordingly, aspects of the present disclosure can take the form of an entirely hardware implementation, an entirely software implementation (including firmware, resident software, microcode, etc.), or an implementation combining software and hardware aspects, which are discussed herein may collectively be referred to herein as "circuits," "modules," "equipment," or "systems." Additionally, aspects of the present disclosure may take the form of a computer program product embodied in one or more non-transitory computer-readable storage media storing computer-readable program code and / or computer-executable program code.

[0019] Many of the functional units described in this specification have been labeled as modules, in order to more particularly emphasize the implementation independence of these functional units. For example, a module may be implemented as a ...

A microcontroller unit 150 includes a plurality of processing units 302, 402, 404. Different processing units 302, 402, 404 perform different categories of tasks in parallel for an array of non-volatile memory cells 200.

Description

technical field [0001] In various embodiments, the present disclosure relates to nonvolatile and / or volatile memory, and more particularly, to on-die memory microcontrollers for nonvolatile and / or volatile memory . Background technique [0002] A memory device may have a state machine that controls certain operations of the memory device. However, once the state machine is "taped out" and in production, only minimal, if any, changes can be made to address bugs or design flaws, limiting development and testing flexibility without greatly extending the design cycle sex. Contents of the invention [0003] The present invention discloses an apparatus, system, method and computer program product for a multi-core on-die memory controller. In one embodiment, an apparatus includes an array of non-volatile memory cells in an integrated circuit device. In another embodiment, an apparatus includes a microcontroller unit in an integrated circuit device. In some embodiments, the d...
