20090204748 | MULTI-CHANNEL FLASH MEMORY SYSTEM AND ACCESS METHOD - Disclosed is a multi-channel flash memory system formed by flash memories having pages divided into sectors and accessed by corresponding channels. An interface device is configured to access the flash memories via the channels by a unit of at least one sector, wherein the interface device divides an address into a plurality of addresses of sector unit and controls the divided addresses so as to be jumped by a given size. | 08-13-2009 |
20090310408 | Memory system and method of accessing a semiconductor memory device - A memory system is provided with a processor, a main memory, and a flash memory. Performance of the memory system is improved through achievement of speed-up and high data reliability. The memory system includes a nonvolatile memory device and a controller configured to drive a control program to control the nonvolatile memory device. The control program executes a second access operation for the nonvolatile memory device even before a first access operation to the nonvolatile memory device is completed. | 12-17-2009 |
20100115192 | WEAR LEVELING METHOD FOR NON-VOLATILE MEMORY DEVICE HAVING SINGLE AND MULTI LEVEL MEMORY CELL BLOCKS - A method of executing a wear leveling operation within a non-volatile memory including a single-level memory cell block (SLC) and a multi-level memory cell block (MLC) is disclosed. The method includes calculating an average erase point in relation to a number of programming/erase (P/E) operations applied to a logical block address (LBA), a SLC mode usage point in relation to a number of the P/E operations applied to the SLC, a MLC mode usage point in relation to a number of the P/E operations applied to the MLC, and a wear value in relation to the average erase point, the SLC mode usage point, and the MLC mode usage point; and then if the wear value exceeds a defined threshold value, performing the wear leveling operation. | 05-06-2010 |
