The first FIFO circuit and the second FIFO circuit may be cross-reset. | 2018-04-19 |
20180107388 | TRANSFER OF OBJECT MEMORY REFERENCES IN A DATA STORAGE DEVICE - Herein are data storage devices that transfer a reference to a data object during a storage operation. The data storage devices include a host controller configured to obtain a reference of an object stored in a shared memory system for writing to a storage media controlled by a drive controller. The host controller transfers the reference of the object in the memory system to the drive controller. The host controller also transfers a storage command to the drive controller to write the object to the storage media. | 2018-04-19 |
20180107389 | MEMORY SYSTEM - According to one embodiment, a memory system includes a memory and a memory controller. The memory includes a first buffer and a memory cell array. The memory controller includes a second buffer for receiving first data from a host. The memory controller transfers the first data to the first buffer without accumulating a predetermined size of the first data in the second buffer. The memory controller creates second data in the first buffer and programs the second data created in the first buffer into the memory cell array. The second data is formed of a plurality of third data. The third data is first data received from the memory controller by the memory. The size of the second data is equal to a size of a unit in which to program into the memory cell array. | 2018-04-19 |
