US Patent Issued to Sandisk Technologies on July 29 for "CMB caching using hybrid SRAM/DRAM data path" (Israeli, American Inventors)

ALEXANDRIA, Va., July 30 -- United States Patent no. 12,373,349, issued on July 29, was assigned to Sandisk Technologies Inc. (Milpitas, Calif.).

"CMB caching using hybrid SRAM/DRAM data path" was invented by Stephen Gold (Fort Collins, Colo.), Judah Gamliel Hahn (Ofra, Israel) and Shay Benisty (Beer Sheva, Israel).

According to the abstract* released by the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office: "A Controller Memory Buffer (CMB) caching mechanism can be used for increased CMB performance. Rather than reading data and writing data from the static random access memory (SRAM), data is read from the SRAM. When data is read from the CMB in SRAM there is increase performance, but little space to process both read and write commands. Using a dynamic r...
