Title: Innovations of Meng-Tsang Wu

Introduction

Meng-Tsang Wu is a notable inventor based in HsinChu, Taiwan. He has made significant contributions to the field of memory technology, holding a total of 5 patents. His work focuses on enhancing the functionality of memory systems, particularly in addressing defective memory cells.

Latest Patents

One of his latest patents is titled "Memory writer with deflective memory-cell handling capability." This invention allows a memory writer to modify machine code based on defective memory-cell locations. The modified code effectively bypasses all defective memory-cell addresses during program execution. This is achieved without the need for re-compilation of the microprogram, as it involves inserting jump machine-code instructions directly between instruction steps. Additionally, dummy bytes are inserted between adjacent memory space allocations for symbol definitions. The modified machine code ensures that, even when written to partially defective memory, it performs identical routines while bypassing defective addresses. This invention is particularly useful for writing microprograms in non-volatile memories like EPROM, EEPROM, or Flash/EEPROM, as well as in volatile memories such as SRAM and DRAM.

Another significant patent is the "Method and system for loading microprograms in partially defective memory." This invention addresses the challenge of loading executable machine code into memories with defective locations. By checking and recording defective memory locations beforehand, the source program code is analyzed to identify which instruction steps will encounter these defects. The original micro code is modified by inserting dummy memory space allocation instructions or additional jump instructions, allowing the modified program code to bypass defective memory locations during loading. This invention is beneficial for loading executable programs in programmable and verifiable memories, including Flash/EEPROM, EPROM, SRAM, and DRAM.
