摘要： A controlling method for a memory storage device is provided. The method includes: disposing a rewriteable non-volatile memory module which is operated at a first working voltage in the memory storage device; and detecting whether the first working voltage is lower than a first voltage threshold. The method also includes: detecting whether a circuit component working voltage is lower than a circuit component voltage threshold; when the first working voltage is lower than the first voltage threshold, setting the memory storage device to stop executing commands from a host system and to stop giving commands to the rewriteable non-volatile memory module; and, when the circuit component working voltage is lower than the circuit component voltage threshold, enabling a reset signal to stop receiving and executing commands from the host system. Therefore, the method can effectively improve the stability of the memory storage device.

摘要： A memory storage apparatus having a rewritable non-volatile memory module, a first circuit, a memory controller and a power management circuit is provided. The first circuit outputs a state signal and keeps the state signal in a first state when the first circuit is enabled, and then the first circuit keeps the state signal in a second state after a predetermined condition is satisfied. When the memory controller receives a first signal, the power management circuit stops supplying an output voltage to the rewritable non-volatile memory module and the memory controller. Additionally, when the memory controller is enabled, the memory controller determines whether the state signal is in the first state. If true, the memory controller performs a first procedure; and if not, the memory controller performs a second procedure.

摘要： A system operation method for controlling a rewritable non-volatile memory module is provided. The rewritable non-volatile memory module includes a plurality of physical blocks. The system operation method includes following steps. A first signal is received from a host system through a host interface. Whether a system setting of the host interface is to be modified is determined. If the system setting is to be modified, a system parameter is read from the physical blocks, and the system setting is modified according to the system parameter. A second signal is transmitted to the host system to establish a connection recognition between the rewritable non-volatile memory module and the host system. Thereby, the settings of transmission between the host system and the rewritable non-volatile memory module are made more flexible.

摘要： A data backup method for backing up data temporarily stored in a cache memory of a flash memory storage device is provided, where the flash memory storage device has a plurality of physical units. The data backup method includes logically grouping a portion of the physical units into a data area and a cache area. The data backup method also includes determining whether a trigger signal is received; and when the trigger signal is received, copying the data temporarily stored in the cache memory into the cache area. Accordingly, the data backup method can quickly write the data temporarily stored in the cache memory into the physical units, thereby preventing a time out problem which may occur in the flash memory storage device.
