摘要： A storage system contains a solid state disk drive having a plurality of memory cells to store the files, including file system control information and data. In a high density mode, the solid state disk drive stores more than one bit per memory cell, and in a reliable mode, the solid state disk drive stores one bit per cell. A file configuration system stores file system control information in the reliable mode and stores data, when specified, in the high density mode. The file configuration system includes a multi-level cell extension unit that generates commands to the memory cells. A data compression unit is provided to compress file data. A block size for the data compression unit is calculated in accordance with the number of bits per cell stored in the high density mode. The file configuration system further includes an error detection and correction (EDC) unit to detect and correct data stored in the high density mode. The storage system may be implemented to operate with the personal computer memory card industry association (PCMCIA) standard.

摘要： A non-volatile semiconductor memory that is erasable only in blocks is described. Each bit of the non-volatile semiconductor memory cannot be overwritten from a first logical state to a second logical state without a prior erasure. Each bit of the non-volatile semiconductor memory can be overwritten from a second logical state to a first logical state without a prior erasure. The non-volatile semiconductor memory comprises an active block for storing a first file, a reserve block for storing a second file, and a directory block. The second file is a copy of the first file. The copy is made during a clean-up operation prior to erasure of the active block. The directory block comprises a directory entry for identifying the first file.

摘要： A flash memory card is described which has a plurality of flash memories, each having a ready/busy output for indicating whether its respective one of the plurality of flash memories is busy or ready. A register circuit is provided for storing a plurality of mask data. A mode circuit is provided for choosing one of a first mode and a second mode, wherein a first mode signal is produced if the first mode is chosen and a second mode signal is produced if the second mode is chosen. A logic circuit is provided for performing logical operations with respect to the ready/busy output for each of the plurality of flash memories and the mask data in accordance with whether the first mode signal or the second mode signal is produced. If the first mode is chosen, the logic circuit produces a ready signal output for the flash memory card only if the ready/busy output of all the plurality of flash memories is ready. If the second mode is chosen, the logic circuit produces a ready signal output for the flash memory card each time any flash memory goes from being busy to being ready.

摘要： A flash memory card is described which includes a first flash memory and a second flash memory. The first flash memory includes an unmasked first output that enters a first state if the first flash memory is ready and a second state if the first flash memory is busy. The second flash memory includes an unmasked second output that enters the first state if the second flash memory is ready and the second state if the second flash memory is busy. The flash memory card also includes a circuit for selectively providing one of (1) a masked first output (2) the unmasked first output, (3) a masked second output, and (4) the unmasked second output. A latch provides a first ready output signal for the flash memory card. The first ready output signal indicates a first transition from the second state to the first state by one of the unmasked first output of the first flash memory and the unmasked second output of the second flash memory. A circuit is also provided for clearing the first ready output signal from the latch.

摘要： A method for compressing a set of file structures in a flash memory subsystem is disclosed. During a clean-up operation, a sibling chain of the file structures stored in a logical block of the flash memory subsystem is traversed. If a file structure is followed by deleted file structures in the sibling chain, then the file structure is transferred to a spare logical block and the sibling pointer of the file structure is programmed bypass the deleted file structures. If a deleted file structure in the sibling chain is referenced by a previous file structure in the sibling chain, then the deleted file structure is transferred to the logical block and recycled.
