    摘要: Integrated circuit systems include a non-volatile memory device (e.g, flash EEPROM device) and a memory processing circuit. The memory processing circuit is electrically coupled to the non-volatile memory device. The memory processing circuit is configured to reallocate addressable space within the non-volatile memory device. This reallocation is performed by increasing a number of physical addresses within the non-volatile memory device that are reserved as redundant memory addresses, in response to a capacity adjust command received by the memory processing circuit.

    摘要: A method is for recovering a block mapping table in a system including a flash memory device, where the block mapping table utilizes address mapping in accordance with a wear-leveling scheme. The method includes reading block arrangement information from the flash memory device for the wear-leveling scheme, restoring the block mapping table with reference to allocation block information included in the block arrangement information and scanning address allocation information included in spare regions of erased blocks of the flash memory device with reference to erased block information included in the block arrangement information and updating the block mapping table in accordance with the scanned address allocation information.

    摘要: A data storage system includes a non-volatile memory, a disc recording medium, a non-volatile memory buffer, operatively disposed between a host interface and the non-volatile memory, which stores a portion of data stored in the non-volatile memory, and a disc buffer, operatively disposed between the host interface and the disc recording medium, which stores a portion of data stored in the disc recording medium. The data storage system may be configured to receive an access address from a host operatively connected to the host interface, and sequentially determine whether the access address exists in one of the non-volatile memory buffer, the non-volatile memory, the disc buffer, and the disc recording medium, in that order.

    摘要: A memory card capable of having an increased number of meta blocks and a method of driving the memory card. A method of reading data from the memory card includes receiving logical addresses from a host. It is determined whether memory blocks corresponding to the received logical addresses belong to a first region allocated to a user data region in the memory card or a second region including meta blocks in the memory card. The memory blocks corresponding to the logical addresses are masked as erased blocks when the memory blocks belong to the second region.

    摘要: A memory device detects and corrects bit errors. The memory device includes cyclic redundancy check (CRC) and error correction code (ECC) circuits. The CRC circuit generates a write CRC code corresponding to data to be stored in memory cells. The ECC circuit generates an ECC code corresponding to the data and detecting and correcting a bit error of the data by means of the ECC code during a read operation. The CRC circuit generates a read CRC code corresponding to data corrected by the ECC circuit during the read operation, and corrects a bit error of the data according to a comparison of the read CRC code and the write CRC code.
