摘要： The present invention presents a non-volatile memory system that adapts its performance to one or more system related situation. If a situation occurs where the memory will require more than the allotted time for completing an operation, the memory can switch from its normal operating mode to a high performance mode in order to complete the operation quickly enough. Conversely, if a situation arises where reliability could be an issue (such as partial page programming), the controller could switch to a high reliability mode. In either case, once the trigging system situation has returned to normal, the memory reverts to the normal operation. The detection of such situations can be used both for programming and data relocation operations. An exemplary embodiment is based on firmware programmable performance.

摘要： A method for writing data to a memory device is disclosed. In one embodiment, data of an atomic transaction is written to a first memory in a memory device. A determination is made regarding whether all of the data of the atomic transaction was written to the first memory. The data of the atomic transaction is read from the first memory and written to a second memory in the memory device only if it is determined that all of the data of the atomic transaction was written to the first memory.

摘要： A memory card that adapts its operation according to the application to which it applied or the conditions under which it is operated. This allows the card to dynamical self optimize. In a first set of embodiments, the card uses host profiling where it will learn about the host during host-card interactions and the card's controller will optimize its algorithms accordingly. In another set of embodiments, the host and card will report to one another their capabilities for a quality of service negotiation. A further set of embodiments allows the storage device to memorize access sequences issued by the host under various predefined conditions, such as host reset or a power on boot sequence. The storage device can use this information to optimize operation for the expected commands. On deviation from an expected sequence, the device would memorize the new command sequence and save it, thus operating in a self-adaptive manner.

摘要： The present invention presents methods for improving data relocation operations. In one aspect, rather than check the quality of the data based on its associated error correction code (ECC) in every relocation operation, it is determined whether to check ECC based on predetermined selection criteria, and if ECC checking is not selected, causing the memory to perform an on-chip copy the data from a first location to a second location. If ECC checking is selected, the data is transferred to the controller and checked; when an error is found, a correction operation is performed and when no error is found, an on-chip copy is performed. The predetermined selection criteria may comprise a sampling mechanism, which may be random based or deterministic. In another aspect, data transfer flags are introduced to indicate data has been corrected and should be transferred back to the memory. A further aspect considers the header and user data separately if each has a distinct associated ECC.
