Fig. 2 A and 2B are the detailed block diagram that illustrates nonvolatile memory 124 and running thereof according to the embodiment of the invention.
Please refer to Fig. 2 A, in embodiments of the present invention, for (promptly write and the wipe) nonvolatile memory 124 of programming efficiently, the block 124-1 to 124-N of nonvolatile memory 124 can logically be grouped into a system region 202, a data field 204 and a spare area 206.In general, the block that belongs to data field 204 in the nonvolatile memory 124 can account for more than 90%, remaining system region 202 and the spare area 206 of being only.
Block in the system region 202 is in order to the register system data, and system data for example is about the number of pages of the number of regions of nonvolatile memory 124, block counts that each is regional, each block, logical physical mapping table etc.
Block in the data field 204 is in order to store user's data, in general is exactly the operated pairing block of logical block addresses of main frame 100.
Therefore block in the spare area 206 is in order to the block in the replacement data district 204, and the block in spare area 206 be sky or spendable block, i.e. no record data or be labeled as invalid data useless.Specifically, because if will be when writing Data Position and write data once more, the operation that execution is earlier wiped.Yet the flash memory unit of writing is a page or leaf as previously mentioned, and erase unit is a block.A unit of wiping is greater than the unit that writes, and this expression be if will carry out block erase operation, must be earlier active page in will erase blocks just can carry out after being copied to other block.Therefore, when writing new data among the block M that will in data field 204, write Data Position, generally can in spare area 206, extract a block C, after then the valid data among the block M being copied to block C and new data being write block C, move to the spare area 206 after block M wiped and simultaneously block C is moved to the data field 204.It must be appreciated that moving to the spare area 206 after block M is wiped, simultaneously block C to be moved to the data field 204 be in logic block M to be associated with spare area 206 and block C is associated with data field 204.Wherein those skilled in the art's logical relation that all can understand block in the data field 204 can be safeguarded by logical physical mapping table.
In embodiments of the present invention, in order to use nonvolatile memory 124 more efficiently, block 124-1 to 124-N logically also is divided into one and replaces district 208 and time zone 210 at a flash.
Please refer to Fig. 2 B, replacing district 208 is in order to temporarily to deposit the block of the block of preparing replacement data district 204.In more detail, when the block C of above-mentioned spare area 206 is extracted the block M that replaces data field 204, new data can be write to block C in embodiments of the present invention, but can at once the valid data among the block M not moved to block C and erase blocks M.Therefore this is because it is invalid that the valid data among the block M might become in next operation, at once the valid data among the block M moved to physical blocks C and can be caused meaningless moving.In embodiments of the present invention, the block C that can will write new data temporarily is associated as and replaces the district, and in the mapping of logical block addresses and physical blocks address, can write down the situation that a plurality of physical blocks address corresponds to a logical block addresses, just the content integration of block M and block C gets up to be only the content of institute's mapping logical blocks, promotes the service efficiency of block thus.The relation of these mother and child blocks (block M and block C) can be decided according to the size of memory buffer 122d in the controller 122, is to do in fact with five groups in embodiments of the present invention.
The function in instantaneous district 210 is similar with replacement district 208.As mentioned above, be to use MLC NAND flash memory in embodiments of the present invention.This MLC NAND flash memory is the multilayer storage unit, can comprise 4 sectors in its 1 page, the sector of 4 512 bytes is promptly arranged, totally 2048 bytes in 1 page.As mentioned above, flash memory is to be unit with the page or leaf writing fashionable, and the waste of resource can be caused in 4 sectors of therefore at every turn must programming under the situation of using MLC NAND flash memory therefore when writing the small amount of data of discontented one page.In embodiments of the present invention, instantaneous district 210 is in order to temporarily to deposit this type of small amount of data.Specifically, when the data that will write the block C that replaces district 208 are the small amount of data of discontented one page, can from spare area 206, extract a block T as mentioned above, then this small amount of data be write to block T and block T is associated as instantaneous district 210.Afterwards, when the follow-up data volume that writes enough writes one page, more described data are write to block C, and then block T is wiped and from instantaneous district 210, move to the spare area 206.
As mentioned above, for fear of frequent erase blocks, can use block C and block T to carry out the renewal of the data of block M.Yet system is in instantaneous time that has block M, C and T during non-volatile memory storage device 120 running, if when undesired outage takes place, the more new relation between block M, C and the T will be lost.Specifically, during 120 runnings of non-volatile memory storage device, the instantaneous relation of block M, C and T can be stored among the memory buffer 122d of controller 122, and when the 120 undesired outages of non-volatile memory storage device, the data among the memory buffer 122d will be lost.Therefore, after non-volatile memory storage device 120 recovers electric power again, though controller 122 can obtain the information of block M, C and the same logical blocks of T mapping from the logical physical mapping table that rebulids, can't distinguish the more new relation of block M, C and T.
In order to solve the above problems, the present invention in the redundant area of the page or leaf of block mark about this block information of new relation more.Fig. 3 is the detailed block diagram that illustrates the redundant area R of page or leaf among Figure 1B according to the embodiment of the invention.
As mentioned above, redundant area R is generally 16 bytes, wherein is divided into 6 bytes 310 of stocking system information and 10 bytes 320 of storage error-correcting code (error correcting code).And the byte 310 of stocking system information comprises addressing mark 302, upgrades relation mark 304, block status indication 306 and other mark 308.
Addressing mark 302 comprises 3 bytes, and wherein 2 bytes are in order to the zone (zone) under this block of mark, and 1 byte is in order to the logical blocks of this block mapping of mark.
According to the present invention, when having instantaneous relation of block M, C and T in the system, memory management module 122a can be in upgrading relation mark 304 the record data lastest imformation.Data Update information is made up of a plurality of character with a recurrence relation, and the number of described character is the number greater than the block of this instantaneous relation of composition, that is to say, if when forming the block of this instantaneous relation and having n, represent that then the character of Data Update information must have n+1 at least.In addition, the record data lastest imformation is to come record in order according to the more new relation of block and the recurrence relation of character in each physical blocks.
