    摘要: A flash memory device capable of efficiently determining whether most significant bit (MSB) programming has been performed is provided. The flash memory device includes a cell array, a control unit, and a determination unit. The cell array includes at least one flag cell for storing information about whether MSB programming has been performed on a multi-level cell. The control unit controls a program operation, a read operation, and an erasure operation with respect to the cell array. The determination unit receives flag data stored in the flag cells, performs an OR operation and/or an AND operation on the flag data, and generates a determination signal based on a result of the OR operation and/or the AND operation, wherein the determination signal represents whether the MSB programming has been performed.

    摘要: A memory card is connected to a host using a NAND flash memory interface mode. In addition, the memory card further includes the NAND flash memory as well as a controller. The NAND flash memory uses an interface mode different from that supported by the host. The controller converts the interface mode of the host to the interface mode of the NAND flash memory. Thus a memory card can be made compatible with a host using another interface mode.

    摘要: Memory systems and methods of controlling a flash memory are provided that execute one of a plurality of merge stages of an incremental merge operation responsive to receiving a command to the flash memory. Executing one of a plurality of merge stages may include receiving a command to the flash memory, determining whether the flash memory is executing an incremental merge operation and executing a next merge stage of the incremental merge operation if the flash memory is executing an incremental merge operation.

    摘要: A memory card, connected to a host, includes a NAND flash memory and a memory controller. The NAND flash memory includes multiple pages, and each page includes multiple sectors. The memory controller receives sector data and a corresponding sector address from the host. The memory controller enables the sector data to be transferred to the NAND flash memory over a first data bus, via a buffer memory, when the sector address is an address for accessing a first sector in a selected page. The memory controller enables the sector data to be transferred to the NAND flash memory over a second data bus, bypassing the buffer memory, when the sector address is an address for accessing a sector other than the first sector in the selected page.

    摘要: A flash memory device and a method of programming the same include a memory cell array, a pass/fail check circuit and a control logic circuit. The memory cell array includes multiple memory cells arranged in rows and columns. The pass/fail check circuit verifies whether data bits selected by a column address during a column scan operation have program data values. The control logic circuit detects fail data bits from the selected data bits and stores the column address in response to the verification result of the pass/fail check circuit. The control logic circuit also compares a number of the fail data bits with a reference value and controls generation of the column address according to the comparison result.
