摘要： A memory system includes a ferroelectric memory, flash EEPROM, control circuit, and interface circuit. The control circuit is configured to control the ferroelectric memory and flash EEPROM. The interface circuit is configured to communicate externally. Data is programmed in the flash EEPROM by a write unit which is smaller than a block as an erase unit and larger than a page as a program unit. The ferroelectric memory stores a logical address-physical address conversion table using the write unit.

摘要： According to one embodiment, a storage device includes a nonvolatile memory, a controller configured to copy data stored in a first page in a first block to a second page in a second block, and an ECC circuit. The controller reads data from a part of the first page by using an upper limit voltage and lower limit voltage, performs a direct copy operation in the nonvolatile memory without via the ECC circuit if the number of error cells having threshold voltages higher than the lower limit voltage and lower than or equal to the upper limit voltage is less than or equal to a specified value, and performs error correction by using the ECC circuit if the number of error cells exceeds the specified value.

摘要： An apparatus for estimating a frequency of access to a storage device that includes a flash memory and a controller for controlling the flash memory includes interface. Data is written into the flash memory in units of a page and being erased from the flash memory in units of a block consisting of pages. The interface is supplied with an internal signal transferred between the flash memory and the controller, configured to recognize the internal signal, and outputs the internal signal as an input signal. An erasure sequence detection section outputs a detection signal when address data is followed by an erasure command requesting erasure of data in the block specified by the address data in the input signal. An address holding section holds address data in the internal signal, and outputs held address data as erasure address data when supplied with the detection signal.
