US Patent Issued to Sandisk Technologies on June 30 for "Low complexity bit-error-rate estimation for encoded foggy-fine programming" (American, Icelander Inventors)

ALEXANDRIA, Va., July 16 -- United States Patent no. 12,670,070, issued on June 30, was assigned to Sandisk Technologies Inc. (Milpitas, Calif.).

"Low complexity bit-error-rate estimation for encoded foggy-fine programming" was invented by Eran Sharon (Rishon Lezion, Iceland) and Jack Frayer (San Jose, Calif.).

According to the abstract* released by the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office: "A memory die estimates a bit-error-rate (BER) for an encoded foggy program operation and uses the BER to determine whether to decode foggy programmed data on the memory die for a fine programming operation. A controller on the die receives data from a storage device and generates parity page(s) based on the data. The controller performs a foggy program oper...
