    摘要: A ferroelectric memory includes a well region, which is defined in a semiconductor substrate and extends in a direction, a bit line also extending in the direction and a source line also extending in the direction. First, second and third memory cells are formed in this order on the well region and arranged in the direction. A first active region electrically connects the first memory cell and the bit line together. A second active region electrically connects the first memory cell and the source line together. A third active region electrically connects the second memory cell and the bit line together. A fourth active region electrically connects the second memory cell and the source line together. A fifth active region electrically connects the third memory cell and the bit line together. And a sixth active region electrically connects the third memory cell and the source line together. The first and third active regions are the same active region, and the fourth and sixth active regions are the same active region.

    摘要: A non-volatile storage device comprises non-volatile memories for storing data; and a memory controller for carrying out control of the non-volatile memory. The memory controller stores second error correcting code as well as first error correcting code stored in the same page of the data. The memory controller, when writing data smaller than a predefined size, does not add the second error correcting code, and stores duplexed data of the data and the first correcting code in a different page. The memory controller, when reading, corrects data using the first and/or second correcting code. The valid data management table manages which logical block stores valid data with respect to an identical logical address.

    摘要: The memory controller writes and reads data in and from a nonvolatile memory. The nonvolatile memory has a plurality of memory cell blocks, each memory cell block includes a plurality of multi-level cells each capable of storing m-bit data (m is a natural number of two or more), a first page to a m-th page are allocated to the respective m bits of the multi-level cell, the memory controller sequentially writes the data to the memory cells from the first page in ascending order, and comprises a backup unit, and when a write command is received from the outside of the memory controller, in a case where a data write destination of the data in the nonvolatile memory is a n-th (n is a natural number of two to m) page of the multi-level cell, and data is already written in the first to (n-1)th pages, the backup unit copies the already written data to a nonvolatile storable backup region.

    摘要: A nonvolatile storage device includes a controller and a nonvolatile memory. The controller has: a logical-physical address conversion part for converting a logical address designated by a host device into a physical address; and a boot code address conversion part for converting boot code address information designated by the host device into a physical address. After the power-on and before the logical-physical address conversion part becomes usable, a boot code is read from a part of region which can be accessed by designating a logical address from the host device by designating the boot code address information from the outside. Thus, it is possible to rapidly start the nonvolatile memory system after the power-on. In the state where the logical-physical address conversion part can be used, data-reading and data-writing are carried out by designating a logical address from the host device.

    摘要: A source block (B0) and the logical page number (“8”) of a write target page are identified from the logical address of the write target page. Data objects (DN8, DN9, . . . , DN12) to be written, which a host stores in a page buffer (2), are written into the data areas (DA) of the pages (Q0, Q1, . . . , Q4) of a destination block (Bn), starting from the top page (Q0) in sequence. The logical page number (“8”) of the write target page is written into the redundant area (RA) of the top page (Q0). The physical page number (“6=8−2”) of the write target page is identified, based on the logical page number (“8”) of the write target page and the page offset (“2”) of the source block (B0). When notified by the host of the end of the sending of the data objects (DN8, . . . , DN12), the data items (D13, . . . , D31, D0, D1, . . . , D7) in the source block (B0) are transferred to the pages (Q5, Q6, . . . , Q31) in the destination block (Bn) via the page buffer (2) sequentially and cyclically, starting from the page (P11) situated cyclically behind the write target page (P6) by the number (“5”) of pages of the data objects (DN8, . . . , DN12).
