摘要： A buffer cache interposed between a non-volatile memory and a host may be partitioned into segments that may operate with different policies. Cache policies include write-through, write and read-look-ahead. Write-through and write back policies may improve speed. Read-look-ahead cache allows more efficient use of the bus between the buffer cache and non-volatile memory. A session command allows data to be maintained in volatile memory by guaranteeing against power loss.

摘要： In order to maintain the integrity of data stored in a flash memory that are susceptible to being disturbed by operations in adjacent regions of the memory, disturb events cause the data to be read, corrected and re-written before becoming so corrupted that valid data cannot be recovered. The sometimes conflicting needs to maintain data integrity and system performance are balanced by deferring execution of some of the corrective action when the memory system has other high priority operations to perform. In a memory system utilizing very large units of erase, the corrective process is executed in a manner that is consistent with efficiently rewriting an amount of data much less than the capacity of a unit of erase. Data is rewritten when severe errors are found during read operations. Portions of data are corrected and copied within the time limit for read operation. Corrected portions are written to dedicated blocks.

摘要： A system and methods are given for providing information on the amount of life remaining for a memory having a limited lifespan, such as a flash memory card. For example, it can provide a user with the amount of the memory's expected remaining lifetime in real time units or as a percentage of estimated initial life. An end of life warning can also be provided. The memory device can be resized by host command. In an exemplary embodiment, a host can send a request to the memory device obtain its status and the size of logical units with which it operates. Based on this information, portions of the memory device can be erased, after which it can be reformatted and operated with a reduce capacity.

摘要： A memory system comprises an encryption engine implemented in the hardware of a controller. In starting up the memory system, a boot strapping mechanism is implemented wherein a first portion of firmware when executed pulls in another portion of firmware to be executed. The hardware of the encryption engine is used to verify the integrity of at least the first portion of the firmware. Therefore, only the firmware that is intended to run the system will be executed.

摘要： A memory card of one published standard, such as the Multi-Media Card (MMC) or Secure Digital Card (SD), is modified to include the function of a Subscriber Identity Module (SIM) according to another published standard. The controller of the memory card communicates between electrical contacts on the outside of the card and both the memory and the SIM. In one specific form, the memory card has the physical configuration of the current Plug-in SIM card with a few external contacts added to accommodate the memory controller and data memory. In another specific form, the memory card has the physical configuration of the current SD card, including external contacts.

摘要： A method and system of providing movies or other content is provided where a flash drive or flash memory card is used in place of DVD's or other formats. A user receives the content on the flash drive from a kiosk. The system ensures that a codec supported by the player of the user will be utilized to encode the content, or in certain embodiments a corresponding codec is provided along with the movie. Authentication and encryption mechanisms ensure that the movie is only provided to an authentic card and/or player from a kiosk, so that the movies cannot be provided to flash devices that do not have proper security mechanisms to safeguard the content or to those not authorized to otherwise receive the movie.
