For managerial convenience, the controller 110 of flash memory system 100 can be divided into a plurality of solid elements (physical unit) with the first flash memory crystal grain 142, the second flash memory crystal grain 144, the 3rd flash memory crystal grain 146 and the 4th flash memory crystal grain 148.In general, solid element can comprise a physical blocks or a plurality of physical blocks, and is the management that unit carries out physical blocks with the solid element.A solid element is a physical blocks in the present embodiment, is to be that unit manages with the physical blocks in the present embodiment therefore.Yet, the invention is not restricted to this, a flash memory crystal grain can be made up of a plurality of block faces (plane) in another embodiment of the present invention, and solid element is made up of a plurality of physical blocks that belongs to the different blocks face, and can carry out access this moment with multi-tiling face access mode.
Physical blocks is the minimum unit of flash memory of erasing on the circuit.That is each physical blocks contains the storage unit of being erased in the lump of minimal amount.Each physical blocks can be divided into several pages (page) usually, and the page is the minimum unit of programming (program) flash memory.But what specify is in some different flash memory design, and minimum programming unit also can be a sector (sector).That is to say the minimum unit that in page a plurality of sectors is arranged and be programming with a sector.In other words, the page is the minimum unit that writes data or reading of data in the present embodiment.Each page generally includes user data field D and redundant area R.The user data field is in order to storage user's data, and redundant area is in order to data (for example, the error-correcting code (error correcting code, ECC)) of stocking system.
Be sector (sector) size corresponding to disc driver, generally speaking, user data field D is generally 512 bytes, and redundant area R is generally 16 bytes.Just, a page is a sector.Yet, can also form a page in a plurality of sectors.In the present embodiment, flash memory block page is to comprise 4 sectors.
Generally speaking, physical blocks can be made up of the page of arbitrary number, for example 64 pages, 128 pages, 256 pages etc.In the present embodiment, physical blocks is to comprise 256 pages.In addition, physical blocks in the first flash memory crystal grain 142, the second flash memory crystal grain 144, the 3rd flash memory crystal grain 146 and the 4th flash memory crystal grain 148 also can be grouped into several zones (zone) usually, and coming diode-capacitor storage with the zone is to operate independently of one another with the parallel degree of increase operation execution and the complexity of streamlining management in a way.
Fig. 3 A is the schematic diagram that illustrates the physical blocks of flash memory wafer 140 according to the embodiment of the invention.
It must be appreciated, when this describes the running of flash memory with " extraction ", " moving ", " exchange ", " replacement ", " rotating ", " cut apart ", " division " and etc. speech to operate physical blocks in the flash memory wafer 140 be in logic notion.That is to say that the physical location of the physical blocks of flash memory is not changed, but in logic the physical blocks of flash memory is operated.What deserves to be mentioned is that the running of following physical blocks is that the mechanical order of controller 110 execute store administration module 110b is finished.
Please refer to Fig. 3 A, in embodiments of the present invention, in order to programme (promptly efficiently, write) data, controller 110 can logically be defined as the physical blocks in the first flash memory crystal grain 142, the second flash memory crystal grain 144, the 3rd flash memory crystal grain 146 and the 4th flash memory crystal grain 148 system region 202, data field 204 and spare area 206.As previously mentioned, the physical blocks of the first flash memory crystal grain 142, the second flash memory crystal grain 144, the 3rd flash memory crystal grain 146 and the 4th flash memory crystal grain 148 can provide host computer system 200 to come storage data in the mode of rotating, therefore controller 110 can provide a plurality of logical addresses to host computer system 200 carrying out data access, and write down the physical blocks that logical address is shone upon by service logic-entity mapping.
Specifically, flash memory wafer 140 is to be that unit manages with the physical blocks in the present embodiment, so controller 110 is to be that unit comes management logic-entity mapping with logical blocks 210.In addition, host computer system 200 is to be that unit comes access data with the sector, therefore can to provide with the logic sector be that the logical address of unit is carried out access to host computer system 200 to controller 110, and controller 110 can will be that the logical address of unit is converted to the logical blocks access of carrying out data by the logical address of unit thus in the page address according to the next physical blocks at flash memory crystal grain of institute's foundations and the logic-entity mapping of maintenance with the logic sector.
Physical blocks in the system region 202 is in order to the register system data, and this system data comprises the logic-entity mapping (logical-physical mapping table) etc. of page number, record logical address and the physical address mapping relations of the number of regions that is divided about physical blocks in each flash memory crystal grain, physical blocks number that each is regional, each physical blocks.
Physical blocks in the data field 204 is in order to store user's data, in general is exactly the physical blocks that the logical blocks 210 of 200 accesses of host computer system is shone upon.
Therefore physical blocks in the spare area 206 is in order to the physical blocks in the replacement data district 204, and the physical blocks in spare area 206 be sky or spendable block, i.e. no record data or be labeled as invalid data useless.
Particularly, data field 204 can store the data that 200 pairs of flash memory systems 100 of host computer system are write in the mode of rotating with the physical blocks of spare area 206.Specifically, because each physical address only can be programmed once in flash memory, therefore if will write data once more to the address of writing data the time, the action of (erase) of erasing of execution earlier.Yet the flash memory unit of writing is the page as previously mentioned, and it is the unit of erasing (that is physical blocks) less than flash memory.Therefore, if will carry out when action of erasing of physical blocks, must be first the data of the effective page in the physical blocks of desiring to erase be copied to the action of erasing that just can carry out physical blocks after other physical blocks.
Fig. 3 B is the running synoptic diagram that illustrates physical blocks according to the embodiment of the invention.
Please be simultaneously with reference to Fig. 3 A and 3B, for example, when host computer system desires to write data to logical blocks LB, suppose that controller 110 learns that by logic-entity mapping logical blocks LB is the physical blocks PD in the mapping (enum) data district 204 at present.Therefore, flash memory system 100 can carry out reproducting periods to the data among the physical blocks PD, and controller 110 can extract the physical blocks PD that physical blocks SD replaces data field 204 from spare area 206.Yet, when new data is write to physical blocks SD, can at once the whole valid data among the physical blocks PD all not moved to physical blocks SD and the physical blocks PD that erases.Specifically, controller 110 can be with the preceding valid data of desiring to write the page address among the physical blocks PD (promptly, page or leaf P0 and P1) be copied to physical blocks SD (as (a) of Fig. 3 B), and new data is write among the physical blocks SD (that is, page or leaf P2 and the P3 of physical blocks SD) (as (b) of Fig. 3 B).At this moment, the physical blocks SD that contains effective legacy data of part and new data can be in a temporary transient state, and this momentary state can be described as mother and child blocks.Keeping this transient state relation is because the valid data among the physical blocks PD might be in next operation (for example, the next one writes instruction) in become invalidly, therefore at once the whole valid data among the physical blocks PD are moved to physical blocks SD and may be caused meaningless moving.The action of temporarily keeping this kind transient state relation generally can be described as unlatching (open) mother and child blocks.
Afterwards, in the time the content of physical blocks PD and physical blocks SD really need being merged, controller 110 just can be merged into a physical blocks with physical blocks PD and physical blocks SD, promotes the service efficiency of block thus, and the action of this merging can be described as again closes (close) mother and child blocks.For example, shown in Fig. 3 B (c), when closing mother and child blocks, controller 110 can (that is, page or leaf P4~PN) be copied to physical blocks SD erases physical blocks PD then and is associated as spare area 206 with remaining valid data among the physical blocks PD, simultaneously, physical blocks SD is associated as data field 204, and in logic-entity mapping, the mapping of logical blocks LB is changed to physical blocks SD, finish rotate (or exchange) of physical blocks PD and physical blocks SD thus.
Because flash memory system 100 stores the access of the information of this relation for follow-up data when opening mother and child blocks, therefore can open the quantity of mother and child blocks and can set according to the size of memory buffer 110d in the controller 110.For example, flash memory system 100 can safeguard that at most the transient state of five groups of mother and child blocks concerns in the present embodiment.That is to say, opened state and 200 pairs of flash memory systems 100 of host computer system of five groups of mother and child blocks at flash memory system 100 and assigned in the example that writes instruction, if controller 100 can cut out wherein one group of mother and child blocks and finishes this and write instruction to open one group of new mother and child blocks during the mother and child blocks that the logical blocks that host computer system 200 is desired to write not is mapping has opened.
It must be appreciated, be to be that unit manages flash memory wafer 140 with the physical blocks in the present embodiment, and therefore above-mentioned is to be that unit is described with the physical blocks with the mode storage data of rotating (that is, opening and closing mother and child blocks).Yet, in another embodiment of the present invention, when managing flash memory wafer 140, above-mentionedly rotate, extract, running meeting such as exchange is that unit carries out with the solid element with the solid element that comprises a plurality of physical blocks.
Referring again to Fig. 2, in the present embodiment, though controller 110 is to be connected to flash memory wafer 140 with a data bus 149, yet flash memory wafer 140 has a plurality of flash memory crystal grain (promptly, the first flash memory crystal grain 142, the second flash memory crystal grain 144, the 3rd flash memory crystal grain 146 and the 4th flash memory crystal grain 148), therefore under time required required time of programming flash memory crystal grain as previously mentioned far above data bus 149 transmission data, the microprocessor unit 110a of controller 110 can write data with interleaved program (interleave program) pattern by the mechanical order of execute store administration module 110b, and the data that promote flash memory system 100 thus write efficient.
