AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

When the data path width of an existing memory is smaller than the actual width of the data to be read, it cannot complete the read operation within the specified delay, resulting in incomplete data reading.

Method used

Multiplexer switch groups and cache groups are set in the peripheral circuit of the memory. The read data is stored in a specific format according to different working modes to meet the latency requirements of different read commands.

🎯Benefits of technology

It enables data reading to be completed within a specified time even when the data path width is small, thus meeting the delay requirements of the circuit design.

Abstract

Embodiments of the present application provide a memory operation method, a memory and a storage system. The memory includes a memory array and a peripheral circuit coupled to the memory array. The peripheral circuit includes a plurality of multiplexing switch unit groups and a plurality of cache unit groups. The plurality of multiplexing switch unit groups are electrically connected to the plurality of cache unit groups. The plurality of multiplexing switch unit groups are configured to start a setting mode in response to a received first enable signal. In the setting mode, the plurality of multiplexing switch unit groups are configured to store data in a first format in the plurality of cache unit groups according to a second format, wherein the data in the first format is obtained from the memory array.
