摘要： A flash storage comprises a flash memory, including a plurality of physical memory blocks, each of physical memory blocks comprising a plurality of memory segments, and a plurality of physical sectors, and each of physical sectors being further provided therein with at least a user data column and a logical address pointer column. When physical data is written into the user data column, writing logical address pointer data into the logical address pointer column of the same physical sector may be performed together by the control of a micro-controller. Furthermore, the logical address pointer data in the same memory segment are arranged to be a backup memory segment address mapping table and then stored in one physical memory block. The backup memory segment address mapping table may be loaded directly and stored into a registered memory by the micro-controller when the system boots. Thus, not only shortening the startup duration of the flash storage, but also saving the memory capacity of the registered memory and securing data access may be obtained.

摘要： An execution method and architecture of multiple-program-banks firmware are proposed. The firmware is divided into multiple program banks stored in a nonvolatile memory. The program banks are also stored in a RAM. A No1 Bank manages the execution of these program banks. Programs of the program banks and updated codes of common programs can be modified at any time via an external interface bus. The execution method and architecture of multiple-program-banks firmware can accomplish better performance of program execution, and can change the content of a firmware program to enhance the flexibility of firmware.

摘要： A data storage device having multiple buffers is proposed. When storing data, a controller makes use of a host's bus to select and transmit multiple block data to multiple buffers for temporary storage and then records relevant details. Next, the controller transmits the data from the buffers to a storage connected with the controller. When retrieving data, the controller selects the data from the storage and temporarily stores the data in the buffers and then records relevant details. Subsequently, the controller transmits the data to the host. The controller is used to control the operations of the host, the buffers, and the storage. Multiple buffers are exploited to achieve the maximum bandwidth of the transmission interface of the host to increase the transmission speed.
