Abstract:
A storage device is provided which includes an ECC circuit. At a write operation, the ECC circuit generates a CRC (cyclic redundancy check) parity corresponding to data and generates an ECC (error correction code) parity corresponding to the data using an error correction code. At a read operation about the data stored in the at least one nonvolatile memory device, the ECC circuit corrects an error of the data using the CRC parity and the ECC parity.
Abstract:
A method of programming a non-volatile memory device including a plurality of strings arranged in rows and columns comprises activating all or a part of selection lines in one column at the same time depending upon data to be programmed, driving a bit line corresponding to the one column with a bit line program voltage, and repeating the activating and the driving until bit lines corresponding to the columns are all driven.
Abstract:
A solid-state drive (SSD) may include a volatile buffer such as DRAM, a non-volatile memory (NVM) such as NAND Flash connected to the volatile buffer, and a capacitor connected to both, where the capacitor may have an energy capacity insufficient to supply the buffer and NVM using a normal supply voltage in a normal mode, but sufficient to supply the buffer and NVM using at least one reduced supply voltage in a temporary mode; and a related method may include programming data to the NVM by temporarily reducing the supply voltage to the NVM, and writing data to the NVM using the reduced supply voltage.
Abstract:
An operating method of a nonvolatile memory device which includes receiving a plurality of sub-page data and a write command from an external device; performing a pre-main program operation such that at least one of the plurality of sub-page data is stored in the second plurality of memory cells included in the main region; performing a buffered program operation such that other received sub-page data is stored in the first plurality of memory cells included in the buffer region; and performing a re-main program operation such that the received sub-page data subjected to the buffered program operation at the buffer region is stored in the second plurality of memory cells subjected to the pre-main program operation.
Abstract:
A redundant array of inexpensive disks (RAID) controller of a RAID storage system that includes one or more storage devices includes an error correction code (ECC) result manager configured to manage information of ECC result indicators when a data chunk that includes one or more ECC data units having an uncorrectable ECC error is read from among a plurality of data chunks dispersively stored in the one or more storage devices, each of the plurality of data chunks including a plurality of ECC data units, the ECC result indicators respectively indicating whether the plurality of ECC data units included in the plurality of data chunks has an uncorrectable ECC error; and an uncorrectable error counter configured to calculate a number of ECC result indicators indicating an uncorrectable ECC error among ECC result indicators corresponding to ECC data units having a same order in each of the plurality pluralit.y of data chunks.
Abstract:
An operating method of a controller includes selecting bits of code word to be punctured; detecting locations of incapable bits of an input word based on locations of the bits to be punctured and a structure of a generation matrix calculation unit; refreezing the input word such that frozen bits and incapable bits of the input word overlap; generating input word bits by replacing information word bits with frozen bits based on the refreezing result; generating the code word by performing generation matrix calculation on the input word bits; generating output bits by puncturing the code word based on locations of the bits to be punctured; and transmitting the output bits to a nonvolatile memory device.
