摘要:
A method of operating a memory system is presented. The memory system includes a controller and a non-volatile memory circuit, where the non-volatile memory circuit has a first portion, where data is stored in a binary format, and a second portion, where data is stored in a multi-state format. The controller manages the transfer of data to and from the memory system and the storage of data on the non-volatile memory circuit. The method includes receiving a first set of data and storing this first set of data in a first location in the second portion of the non-volatile memory circuit. The memory system subsequently receives updated data for a first subset of the first data set. The updated data is stored in a second location in the first portion of the non-volatile memory circuit, where the controller maintains a logical correspondence between the second location and the first subset of the first set of data.
