摘要:
A method for reducing a memory map table search time when employing a semiconductor memory device as a temporary memory of large capacity storage device, and a semiconductor memory device therefore, are provided. A MAP RAM is prepared for storing map table data related to the nonvolatile memory area in the volatile memory area. At an initial power-up operation, it is determined whether a logical address is searched for from the map table data while the map table data existing in a map storage area of the nonvolatile memory area is loaded into the MAP RAM. A physical address corresponding to the logical address is provided as an output, when the logical address is searched for. Search time for a memory map table is reduced and read performance in a high speed map information search is increased.

Provided are a secure multimedia card (secure MMC) and a memory card system having the same. The memory card system may include a host, and a secure MMC having a user data area accessed by a normal command and a restricted area accessed by a secure command, wherein the user data area in communication with the host stores user data and the restricted area stores access restriction data. The restricted area may be accessed in the secure MMC even though the interface unit in the host does not support commands requesting the access to the restricted area in the secure MMC.

In one aspect, a determination is made as whether partition metadata of a solid state memory has changed, and if so, the partition metadata is analyzed to locate invalid data stored in the solid state memory. This analysis may include determining that a file system type of a partition has changed, and invalidating data in response to the changed file system type. Alternately, or in addition, the analysis may include determining that a partition has changed, and invalidating data in response to the changed partition.
