QSPI相变存储器的读写优化

Read/write optimization of QSPI phase change memory

  • 摘要: 相变存储器是一种基于硫系化合物材料在晶态与非晶态之间的电阻差异来实现数据存储的新型非易失性存储器,具有高速、高密度、低功耗、与CMOS工艺兼容性良好、抗电磁干扰及抗辐照等显著优势,有望成为新一代主流存储技术。然而,相变存储器读写不对称的特性为其进一步发展带来了诸多挑战。针对四通道串行外设接口(QSPI)相变存储器提出了一种数据粒度转换方案,以优化其读写速率。为提升写入速度,在QSPI相变存储器中引入“写入掩码”设计,将顺序写入时钟频率提升至80 MHz,并采用预读取方法改进了相变存储器的读取效率。仿真结果表明,所提出的读写策略在确保相变存储器操作可靠性的同时,显著提升了QSPI的通信速率。

     

    Abstract: Phase change memory represents an advanced non-volatile memory technology that utilizes the resistivity difference between the crystalline and amorphous states of chalcogenide compounds to achieve data storage. It is anticipated to emerge as a next-generation mainstream storage solution due to its high-speed operation, high density, low power consumption, compatibility with CMOS processes, and resistance to electromagnetic interference and radiation. However, its asymmetric read-write characteristics present significant challenges to further advancements. This paper introduces a data granularity conversion scheme for quad serial peripheral interface (QSPI) phase change memory aimed at optimizing read and write performance. To enhance write speed, a "writing mask" design is incorporated into the QSPI phase change memory, enabling a sequential write clock frequency of up to 80 MHz. Additionally, the read efficiency of the phase change memory is improved through the adoption of a pre-reading technique. Simulation results demonstrate that the proposed read/write strategy significantly enhances the communication speed of the QSPI while maintaining the operational reliability of the phase change memory.
