Abstract: An embodiment of a method for accessing a storage unit of a flash memory, performed by a control unit, is disclosed to include at least the following steps. A transaction is appended to a bad-column table each time a bad column of a block within the storage unit is inspected. It is determined whether a total number of the transactions within the bad-column table is odd when the control unit determines that the last column of the block is a regular column. A transaction is appended to the bad-column table to indicate that the last column of the block is a bad column when the control unit determines that the total number of the transactions within the bad-column table is odd.

Abstract: A method for performing automatic setting control of a memory device in predetermined communications architecture with aid of auxiliary setting management and associated apparatus are provided. The method may include: during initialization of the memory device, utilizing a processing circuit within a memory controller to load an auxiliary setting management table from a non-volatile memory into at least one storage unit of a hardware control circuit within the memory controller to be a loaded auxiliary setting management table, wherein the hardware control circuit is used for the automatic setting control; and utilizing the hardware control circuit within the memory controller to detect occurrence of a series of events according to state information of a transmission interface circuit within the memory controller, and to dynamically perform parameter setting on the transmission interface circuit according to the series of events, for reconfiguring the transmission interface circuit at runtime of the memory device.

Abstract: The invention introduces an apparatus for segmenting a data stream, installed in a physical layer, to include a host interface, a data register and a boundary detector. The data register is arranged to operably store data received from the host side through the host interface. The boundary detector is arranged to operably detect the content of a data register. When the data register includes a special symbol, the boundary detector outputs a starting address that the special symbol is stored in the data register to an offset register to update a value stored in the offset register, thereby enabling a stream splitter to divide data bits of the data register according to the updated value of the offset register.

The data register is arranged to operably store data received from the host side through the host interface. The boundary detector is arranged to operably detect the content of the data register. When the data register includes a boundary-lock pattern or a special symbol, the boundary detector outputs a starting address that the boundary-lock pattern or the special symbol is stored in the data register to an offset register to update a value stored in the offset register, thereby enabling a stream splitter to divide data bits of the data register according to the updated value of the offset register.
