A non-volatile memory storage device has a non-volatile memory, e.g., a flash memory, and a controller coupled to the non-volatile memory. The controller comprises a plurality of control circuits and an arbitration circuit. Each control circuit is configured to generate a request to update the chip-enable (CE) signals for non-volatile memory, and the arbitration circuit is configured to determine when the requests are acknowledged. The arbitration circuit generates acknowledge signals to the control circuits when all of the requests of the control circuits have been received by the arbitration circuit. The CE signals for non-volatile memory are updated when requests are acknowledged.
摘要:
A method of wear leveling for a non-volatile memory is disclosed. A non-volatile memory is divided into windows and gaps, with each gap between two adjacent windows. The windows comprise physical blocks mapped to logical addresses, and the gaps comprise physical blocks not mapped to logical addresses. The windows are shifted through the non-volatile memory in which the mapping to the physical blocks in the window to be shifted is changed to the physical blocks in the gap.

A production tool for low-level format of a storage device is disclosed. The production tool includes an input connector connectable and an output connector, both of which conform to an interface standard. At least a redundant pin of the input connector is unconnected with a corresponding redundant pin of the output connector, and the redundant pin of the output connector is electrically connected to receive a provided predetermined signal, the presence of which indicating a low-level format mode.

An operation method of a memory includes the steps of calculating an offset of sequential write commands and the beginning of pages of a block of a non-volatile memory; shifting the block by the offset; and directly writing data from a host to the pages except the first and last pages of the block by the sequential write commands. In an embodiment, the pages are logical pages providing optimal writing efficiency and are determined before calculating the offset. The step of shifting the block by the offset is to increase corresponding logical block addresses (LBA) in the pages by the offset.

摘要:
A method of wear leveling for a non-volatile memory is performed as follows. First, the non-volatile memory is divided into a plurality of zones including at least a first zone and a second zone. The first zone is written and/or erased in which one or more logical blocks have higher writing hit rate, and therefore the corresponding physical blocks in the first zone will be written more often. The next step is to find one or more free physical blocks in second zone. The physical blocks of the first zone are replaced by the physical blocks of the second zone if the number of write and/or erase to the first zone exceeds a threshold number. The replacement of physical blocks in the first zone by the physical blocks in the second zone may include the steps of copying data from the physical blocks in the first zone to the physical block in the second zone, and changing the pointer of logical blocks to point to the physical blocks in the second zone.

A virtual SATA port multiplier and a virtual SATA device are provided for a SATA system. The virtual SATA port multiplier uses a SATA physical layer for data transfer between it and a SATA host, and a non-physical layer for direct data transfer between it and the virtual SATA device. Since the data transfer between the virtual SATA port multiplier and the virtual SATA device is not carried out by way of SATA physical layers, no physical layer circuits are required accordingly, thereby reducing the manufacturing cost, power consumption and hardware size of the SATA system.

A fiber to chip coupling connecting an optical fiber to an integrated circuit. A section of fiber is laid on top of the surface of the chip, where the end of the fiber has been cut at an angle to form an angled tip. The angled tip has a flat surface which reflects light down to a waveguide grating coupler disposed on the integrated circuit. Light is reflected off the reflective surface of the angled tip by total internal reflection. The waveguide grating coupler is designed to accept the slightly diverging light beam from the reflective surface of the angled tip of the fiber. Light can also propagate through the fiber to chip coupler in the opposite direction, up from the substrate through the waveguide grating and into an optical fiber after bouncing off the reflective surface of the angled tip.
摘要:
There is disclosed, for use in a CDMA wireless network, a channel resource allocator for reallocating a data traffic channel in a soft handoff state to handle incoming calls from new mobile stations. The channel resource allocator includes an overhead channel controller for reconfiguring a data traffic channel as an overhead channel upon failure of an overhead channel element in a base transceiver station (BTS). The channel resource allocator determines if all data traffic channels of the BTS are in use. If so, the channel resource allocator determines whether any of the existing calls being serviced by the data traffic channels are in a soft handoff state in which the call is connected simultaneously to, two or more base transceiver stations. If so, the channel resource allocator drops the connection to the BTS in which the overhead channel failure occurred, thereby freeing up the data traffic channel. The overhead channel controller may then reconfigure the dropped data. traffic channel as an overhead channel, or the channel resource allocator may reallocate the dropped data traffic channel to handle a new incoming call from a mobile station.
