    摘要: A method and system for enhancing efficiency in power failure handling in flash memory devices is disclosed. The method includes the controller of a storage device receiving a page of data, selecting a block having a desired back-up cost and copying previously stored data in the selected block to a back-up block prior to writing the received page to the selected block based on a category of the previously stored data. The system includes non-volatile memory having a plurality of operative blocks, at least one spare block and a controller. The controller is configured to receive a page of data, select an operative block in the memory having a desired back-up cost, and copy previously stored data in the selected block to a spare block based on a category of the previously stored data prior to writing the received page to the selected block.

    摘要: Decorrelation is provided between data stored in respective pairs of adjacent memory cells in a plurality of bit lines of a flash memory. Each of the pairs of adjacent memory cells is located along a respective one of the bitlines and common to two adjacent wordlines. The decorrelation is achieved by storing scrambled data in at least one memory cell of each of the pairs of adjacent memory cells and storing unscrambled data in at least one memory cell of at least one of the pairs of adjacent memory cells.

    摘要: Circuitry and method for detecting occurrence of a reflow process to an embedded storage device are disclosed. A temperature sensing device includes a resistor, a temperature sensor, and a comparator. The first terminal of the resistor is coupled to a voltage source, and the second terminal of the resistor is coupled to both the first terminal of the temperature sensor and the first input of the comparator. The second terminal of the temperature sensor is grounded and the second input of the comparator is coupled to a reference voltage. The resistance state of the temperature sensor changes from a first resistance state to a second resistance state when the temperature surrounding the temperature sensor reaches a threshold. The comparator generates an output based on the resistance changes of the temperature sensor. The generated output may indicate whether a reflow process has occurred to the embedded storage device.

    摘要: A system and method for data tag sharing is disclosed. A host system may provide a storage system with information that identifies a set of logical addresses as pointing to data that is cold, which may mean that the data has not been written to within a threshold time period, such as a year. The storage system may process the data stored at physical locations corresponding to the set of logical addresses as cold data based on receipt of the information from the host system.
