Abstract:
A method for reducing a memory map table search time when employing a semiconductor memory device as a temporary memory of large capacity storage device, and a semiconductor memory device therefore, are provided. A MAP RAM is prepared for storing map table data related to the nonvolatile memory area in the volatile memory area. At an initial power-up operation, it is determined whether a logical address is searched for from the map table data while the map table data existing in a map storage area of the nonvolatile memory area is loaded into the MAP RAM. A physical address corresponding to the logical address is provided as an output, when the logical address is searched for. Search time for a memory map table is reduced and read performance in a high speed map information search is increased.

Abstract:
A nonvolatile memory device includes a nonvolatile memory cell array including a plurality of nonvolatile memory cells connected to a plurality of word lines, a word line voltage generator configured to generate first and second sequences of voltage pulses. The device selectively supplies one of the first and second sequences of voltage pulses to a selected one of the word lines to program the nonvolatile memory cells connected to the selected word line. A slope of at least one voltage pulse of the first sequence of voltage pulses is greater than a slope of at least one voltage pulse of the second sequence of voltage pulses. In general, the first sequence is applied to word lines far away from the string select line (SSL), and the second sequence is applied to word lines that are close to the SSL.
