    摘要: In a storage system, a system controller is connected to an embedded storage device for supervising writing and reading operations in the embedded storage device. A data manager based upon a microprocessor is integrated in the embedded storage device and provides a high-level abstraction of the physical organization of the embedded storage device through the definition of an own logic map. The data manager is implemented outside the controller. The controller is formed in a first semiconductor material region, the embedded storage device is formed in a second semiconductor material region distinct from the first semiconductor material region, and the data manager is formed in a third semiconductor material region distinct from the first semiconductor material region.
