Abstract:
The non-volatile memory system includes a non-volatile memory and a controller. The non-volatile memory includes a data region including a sector region for storing sector data, and an uncorrectable information region for storing uncorrectable sector information on the sector region. The controller includes an information generation unit for generating the uncorrectable sector information that indicates whether the sector region is assigned to an uncorrectable sector region, according to a command output from a host.
Abstract:
A multi-level cell memory includes a memory cell that stores two or more bits of information; a sensing circuit coupled to the memory cell; and a row buffer structure comprising a split page buffer having a first page buffer and a second page buffer. The sensing circuit operates to read from the memory cell, places a first bit in one of the first page buffer and the second page buffer, and places the second bit in one of the first page buffer and the second page buffer.
Abstract:
A semiconductor storage device and a method of throttling performance of the same are provided. The semiconductor storage device includes a non-volatile memory device; and a controller configured to receive a write command from a host and program write data received from the host to the non-volatile memory device in response to the write command. The controller inserts idle time after receiving the write data from the host and/or after programming the write data to the non-volatile memory device.
Abstract:
A method and apparatus to interface a semiconductor storage device and a host in order to provide performance throttling of the semiconductor storage device. In the method, the semiconductor storage can receive a setting request command from the host. The semiconductor storage device sets a performance throttling parameter to a particular value in response to the setting request command. The semiconductor storage device can send to the host a setting response signal indicating completion of the setting of the performance throttling parameter.

Abstract:
A semiconductor storage device (SSD) and a method of throttling performance of the SSD are provided. The method can include includes gathering at least two workload data items related with to a workload of the semiconductor storage device, estimating the workload using the at least two workload data items, and throttling the performance of the semiconductor storage device according to the estimated workload. Accordingly, a workload that the semiconductor storage device will undergo can be estimated.
Abstract:
A semiconductor storage device and a method of throttling performance of the same are provided. The semiconductor storage device includes a non-volatile memory device configured to store data in a non-volatile state, and a controller configured to control the non-volatile memory device. The controller calculates a new performance level, compares the calculated performance level with a predetermined reference, and determines the calculated performance level as an updated performance level according to the comparison result.
Abstract:
A method of managing a page buffer of a non-volatile memory device comprises programming least significant bit (LSB) page data from an LSB page buffer into a page of memory cells, and retaining the LSB page data in the LSB page buffer until most significant bit (MSB) page data corresponding to the LSB page data is programmed in the page.
