摘要： A nonvolatile semiconductor mass storage system and architecture can be substituted for a rotating hard disk. The system and architecture avoid an erase cycle each time information stored in the mass storage is changed. Erase cycles are avoided by programming an altered data file into an empty mass storage block rather than over itself as a hard disk would. Periodically, the mass storage will need to be cleaned up. These advantages are achieved through the use of several flags, and a map to correlate a logical block address of a block to a physical address of that block. In particular, flags are provided for defective blocks, used blocks, and old versions of a block. An array of volatile memory is addressable according to the logical address and stores the physical address.
摘要翻译：非易失性半导体大容量存储系统和架构可以代替旋转硬盘。每当存储在大容量存储器中的信息改变时，系统和架构避免了擦除周期。通过将更改的数据文件编程为空的大容量存储块而不是以硬盘为单位，可以避免擦除周期。定期地，大容量存储将需要清理。这些优点通过使用多个标志来实现，以及将块的逻辑块地址与该块的物理地址相关联的映射。特别地，为缺陷块，使用的块和块的旧版本提供标志。易失性存储器阵列根据逻辑地址可寻址，并存储物理地址。

摘要： An interfacing system facilitating user-friendly connectivity in a selected operating mode between a host computer system and a flash memory card. The interfacing system includes an interface device and a flash memory card. The interfacing system features significantly expanded operating mode detection capability within the flash memory card and marked reduction in the incorrect detection of the operating mode. The interface device includes a first end for coupling to the host computer and a second end for coupling to the flash memory card, while supporting communication in the selected operating mode which is also supported by the host computer system. The flash memory card utilizes a fifty pin connection to interface with the host computer system through the interface device. The fifty pin connection of the flash memory card can be used with different interface devices in a variety of configurations such as a universal serial mode, PCMCIA mode, and ATA IDE mode. Each of these modes of operation require different protocols. Upon initialization with the interface device, the flash memory card automatically detects the selected operating mode of the interface device and configures itself to operate with the selected operating mode. The operating mode detection is accomplished by sensing unencoded signals and encoded signals. The encoded signals are encoded with a finite set of predetermined codes. Each predetermined code uniquely identifies a particular operating mode.

摘要： In one embodiment of the present invention, a memory storage system for storing information organized in sectors within a nonvolatile memory bank is disclosed. The memory bank is defined by sector storage locations spanning across one or more rows of a nonvolatile memory device, each the sector including a user data portion and an overhead portion. The sectors being organized into blocks with each sector identified by a host provided logical block address (LBA). Each block is identified by a modified LBA derived from the host-provided LBA and said virtual PBA, said host-provided LBA being received by the storage device from the host for identifying a sector of information to be accessed, the actual PBA developed by said storage device for identifying a free location within said memory bank wherein said accessed sector is to be stored. The storage system includes a memory controller coupled to the host; and a nonvolatile memory bank coupled to the memory controller via a memory bus, the memory bank being included in a non-volatile semiconductor memory unit, the memory bank has storage blocks each of which includes a first row-portion located in said memory unit, and a corresponding second row-portion located in each of the memory unit, each of the memory row-portions provides storage space for two of said sectors, wherein the speed of performing write operations is increased by writing sector information to the memory unit simultaneously.

摘要： A method and apparatus is disclosed for identifying a block being stored within flash memory devices using a cluster address for each block, the block being selectively erasable and having one or more sectors, the cluster address being stored in one of the sectors of the block. In an alternative embodiment, the cluster address is stored in at least two different sectors within the same block for ensuring that the information last written to the block is valid. Further disclosed is a novel way to use a defect flag for each block stored within the flash memory device for efficiently identifying non-defective blocks upon system power-up.

摘要： A digital system is disclosed for use with a host, the digital system including a controller and a nonvolatile memory unit having memory locations organized in blocks with each block having a plurality of sectors for storing information provided by the host in the form of non-user data files and user data files, the controller for controlling reading, writing and erasing operations performed on the nonvolatile memory, the host providing to the controller an address, identifying the starting location of the user file to the controller, and a user file identified by a starting sector address for storage within the nonvolatile memory unit. The controller finds a free block within the nonvolatile memory unit that is available for storage of information, and aligns the user file starting address with the beginning of the free block, and stores the user file within the free block starting with the beginning of the free block. If the user file extends beyond the size of the free block, the remainder of the user file is stored within blocks subsequent to the free block, wherein each time a user data file is stored in the nonvolatile memory unit, the beginning of the user data file is aligned with the beginning of the block thereby increasing performance in writing user files, and decreasing the number of erase and write operations performed on the nonvolatile memory unit.
