Fig. 4 and Fig. 5 are the example schematic of the diode-capacitor storage module that exemplary embodiment illustrated according to the present invention.
It must be appreciated that when this described the running of physical blocks of non-volatile memory module 106, coming the operating physical block with speech such as " extraction ", " exchange ", " grouping ", " rotating " was notion in logic.That is to say that the physical location of the physical blocks of memory module 106 is not changed, but in logic the physical blocks of non-volatile memory module 106 is operated.
Please with reference to Fig. 4, memory management circuitry 202 can logically be grouped into the physical blocks 304 (0)~304 (R) of non-volatile memory module 106 data field 402, spare area 404, system region 406 and replace district 408.
Data field 402 is the data that come from host computer system 1000 in order to storage with the physical blocks of spare area 404.Specifically, data field 402 is the physical blocks of having stored data, and the physical blocks of spare area 404 is the physical blocks in order to replacement data district 402.Therefore, the physical blocks of spare area 404 is empty or spendable physical blocks, i.e. no record data or be labeled as invalid data useless.That is to say that the physical blocks in the spare area has been performed wipes running, perhaps the physical blocks in the spare area is extracted the physical blocks that is used to be extracted before storing data and can be performed and wipes running.Therefore, the physical blocks of the physical blocks of spare area for being used.
The physical blocks that belongs to system region 406 in logic is in order to the register system data, and wherein this system data comprises about the manufacturer of memory chip and model, the physical blocks number of memory chip, physical page number of each physical blocks etc.
Belonging to the physical blocks that replaces in the district 408 in logic is the alternate physical block.For example, non-volatile memory module 106 can be reserved 4% physical blocks and uses as changing when dispatching from the factory.That is to say that when data field 402, spare area 404 were damaged with the physical blocks in the system region 406, the physical blocks of reserving in replacing district 408 was in order to replacing damaged physical blocks (that is bad physical blocks (bad block)).Therefore, if replace when still having normal physical blocks in the district 408 and the physical blocks damage taking place, memory management circuitry 202 can be extracted the physical blocks that normal physical blocks is changed damage from replace district 408.If when no normal physical blocks and generation physical blocks were damaged in the replacement district 408, then memory management circuitry 202 can be declared as write protection (write protect) state with whole nonvolatile memory stores device 100, and can't write data again.
Particularly, data field 402, spare area 404, system region 406 and replace the quantity of the physical blocks in district 408 can be according to different storer specifications and different.In addition, it must be appreciated that in the running of nonvolatile memory stores device 100, the grouping relation that physical blocks is associated to data field 402, spare area 404, system region 406 and replacement district 408 can dynamically change.For example, when being substituted the physical blocks replacement in district when the damage of the physical blocks in the spare area, the physical blocks that then replaces the district originally can be associated to the spare area.
Please with reference to Fig. 5, as stated, data field 402 is the data of coming host system 1000 to be write with the mode of rotating with the physical blocks of spare area 404.In this exemplary embodiment, memory management circuitry 202 can be beneficial in the physical blocks of storing data with the above-mentioned mode of rotating, carry out data access for host computer system 1000 in the configuration logic address.Particularly, memory management circuitry 202 can be grouped into blocks 510 (0)~510 (H) with the logical address that is provided, and blocks 510 (0)~510 (H) is mapped to the physical blocks of data field 402.For example, when nonvolatile memory stores device 100 was formatd with file system (for example, FAT 32) by the operating system of host computer system 1000, blocks 510 (0)~510 (H) mapped to the physical blocks 304 (0)~304 (D) of data field 402 respectively.That is to say that a blocks is understood a physical blocks in the mapping (enum) data district 402.At this, memory management circuitry 202 can be set up blocks-physical blocks mapping table (logical block-physical block mapping table), with the mapping relations between record blocks and the physical blocks.
Fig. 6~Fig. 8 is the example that writes data to non-volatile memory module that exemplary embodiment illustrated according to the present invention.
Please be simultaneously with reference to Fig. 6~Fig. 8; For example; In blocks 510 (0) is to map under the mapping status of physical blocks 304 (0); Write instruction and desire to write data when belonging to the logical address of blocks 510 (0) when Memory Controller 104 receives from host computer system 1000, memory management circuitry 202 can according to blocks-physical blocks mapping table recognition logic block 510 (0) be at present map to physical blocks 304 (0) and from spare area 404 extracts physical block 304 (D+1) as the replacement physical blocks physical blocks 304 (0) of rotating.Yet; When memory management circuitry 202 write to physical blocks 304 (D+1) with new data, memory management circuitry 202 can not moved all valid data in the physical blocks 304 (0) to physical blocks 304 (D+1) at once and wipe physical blocks 304 (0).Specifically; Memory management circuitry 202 can write physical page valid data before (promptly with desiring in the physical blocks 304 (0); The 0th physical page of physical blocks 304 (0) and the data in the 1st physical page) be copied in the 0th physical page and the 1st physical page of physical blocks 304 (D+1) (as shown in Figure 6), and new data write in the 2nd physical page and the 3rd physical page of physical blocks 304 (D+1) (as shown in Figure 7).At this moment, memory management circuitry 202 is promptly accomplished the running that writes.Therefore because it is invalid that the valid data in the physical blocks 304 (0) might become in next operation (for example, writing instruction), at once the valid data in the physical blocks 304 (0) are moved to physical blocks 304 (D+1) and may be caused meaningless moving.In addition, data must write to the physical page in the physical blocks in order, and therefore, memory management circuitry 202 only can be moved earlier and desire to write physical page valid data before.
In this exemplary embodiment; Temporarily keep these mother and sons' transient state relations (promptly; Physical blocks 304 (0) and physical blocks 304 (D+1)) running be called unlatchings (open) mother and child blocks, and the original physical block is called parent substance and manages block and replace physical blocks and be called the muon physics block.
Afterwards; In the time need the content of physical blocks 304 (0) and physical blocks 304 (D+1) really being merged; Memory management circuitry 202 just can be whole and to a physical blocks with the data of physical blocks 304 (D+1) with physical blocks 304 (0), promotes the service efficiency of physical blocks thus.At this, the running that merges mother and child blocks is called closes (close) mother and child blocks.For example; As shown in Figure 8, when closing mother and child blocks, memory management circuitry 202 can be with remaining valid data in the physical blocks 304 (0) (promptly; Data in the 4th physical page~(K) physical page of physical blocks 304 (0)) be copied in the 4th physical page~(K) physical page of replacement physical blocks 304 (D+1); Then spare area 404 is wiped and be associated to physical blocks 304 (0), simultaneously, (D+1) is associated to data field 402 with physical blocks 304.That is to say that memory management circuitry 202 can remap blocks 510 (0) to 304 (D+1) in blocks-physical blocks mapping table.In addition, in this exemplary embodiment, memory management circuitry 202 can be set up spare area physical blocks table (not illustrating) and write down the physical blocks that is associated to the spare area at present.What deserves to be mentioned is that memory management circuitry 202 needs to use the storage space of more memory buffer 252 to come the storage administration parameter when opening mother and child blocks, to write down more detailed store status.For example, these management parameters can write down in which physical page that the valid data that belong to blocks 510 (0) are stored in physical blocks 304 (0) and physical blocks 304 (D+1) dispersedly (as shown in Figure 7).Base this, during portable non-volatile memory memory storage 100 running, the group number of mother and child blocks is limited.Therefore; When portable non-volatile memory memory storage 100 receives when instruction of writing that comes from host computer system 1000; If having opened the group number of mother and child blocks reaches in limited time; Memory management circuitry 202 need be closed at least one group of mother and child blocks of having opened at present (that is, the mother and child blocks running is closed in execution) and write instruction to carry out this.At this, Fig. 6~running that writes shown in Figure 8 is called the pattern that generally writes.
Fig. 9 is the synoptic diagram of the tank circuit that exemplary embodiment illustrated according to the present invention.
Please with reference to Fig. 9, tank circuit 1110 comprises diode D, first resistance R 1, second resistance R 2, switch S and capacitance group C.The anode of diode D comes from the input voltage vin of host computer system 1000 in order to reception, and the negative electrode of diode D is in order to provide output voltage V out.First end of first end of first resistance R 1 and second resistance R 2 is electrically connected to the negative electrode of diode D.First end of switch S is electrically connected to second end of second resistance R 2, and the control end of switch S is electrically connected to Memory Controller 104.First end of capacitance group C is electrically connected to second end of switch S and is electrically connected to second end of first resistance R 1, and second end of capacitance group C is electrically connected to earth terminal.In this exemplary embodiment, capacitance group C can comprise a plurality of electric capacity of parallel connection.
In this exemplary embodiment, when nonvolatile memory stores device 100 was electrically connected to host computer system 1000, capacitance group C can store stand-by electric energy.The stand-by electric energy that capacitance group C stored is in order to keep the of short duration running of Memory Controller 104 and non-volatile memory module 106 when the input voltage deficiency that host computer system 1000 is provided.In this exemplary embodiment, for example, the capacity of capacitance group is 470~2200 microfarads (uF).What deserves to be mentioned is that in this exemplary embodiment, first resistance R 1 is a large amount of suction electric currents (inrush current) that caused for fear of capacitance group C when nonvolatile memory stores device 100 is electrically connected to host computer system 1000.For example, the resistance value of first resistance R 1 is 200 ohm.Particularly, first resistance R 1 can cause output voltage V out on the low side and Memory Controller 104 and non-volatile memory module 106 can't normally be operated.The base this; In this exemplary embodiment; For the first time receive the small computer standard interface that comes from host computer system 1000 (Small Computer Standard Interface, in the time of SCSI), Memory Controller 104 (or memory management circuitry 202 of Memory Controller 104) can be opened (turn on) switch S; So that closed next parallelly connected second resistance R 2 of switch S increases output voltage V out thus.For example, the resistance value of second resistance R 2 is 1 ohm.Base this, under the state that switch S is unlocked, Memory Controller 104 and non-volatile memory module 106 just can operate under operating voltage normally in the instruction according to host computer system 1000.
It must be appreciated, in exemplary embodiment of the present invention, when Memory Controller 104 (or memory management circuitry 202 of Memory Controller 104) can receive the SCSI instruction that comes from host computer system 1000 for the first time in the back that is enabled, open switch S.Yet; The invention is not restricted to this, in another exemplary embodiment of the present invention, Memory Controller 104 (for example; The memory management circuitry 202 of Memory Controller 104) also can receive for the first time in the back that is enabled come from host computer system 1000 write instruction the time, open switch S.Perhaps, in another exemplary embodiment of the present invention, after Memory Controller 104 (or memory management circuitry 202 of Memory Controller 104) can be enabled and wait for a time delay, open switch S.For example, be 3 seconds this time delay.
In exemplary embodiment of the present invention, Memory Controller 104 (for example, the memory management circuitry 202 of Memory Controller 104) can detect the detection signal of corresponding input voltage vin.And; When detection signal at a Preset Time (is for example indicated input voltage vin; 10 seconds) (for example continue in less than a predeterminated voltage; 4 volts (V)) time, Memory Controller 104 (for example, the memory management circuitry 202 of Memory Controller 104) can start and specially writes the data that pattern will be temporary in the memory buffer 208 and write in the non-volatile memory module 106.
Particularly; Write in the pattern special; Memory Controller 104 (for example; The memory management circuitry 202 of Memory Controller 104) can from spare area 404, extract a physical blocks, and the data that will be temporary in the memory buffer 208 writes in order in the physical page of the physical blocks of being extracted.Specifically, the data that are temporary in the memory buffer 208 can begin to be written in order from the 0th physical page of the physical blocks extracted.That is to say that Memory Controller 104 (for example, the memory management circuitry 202 of Memory Controller 104) can not write data (that is, as Fig. 6~shown in Figure 8, writing pattern) according to the corresponding relation of logic access address.The base this, the data that the time that Memory Controller 104 (for example, the memory management circuitry 202 of Memory Controller 104) can be less will be temporary in the memory buffer 208 write in the non-volatile memory module 106.
Write in the pattern special; Memory Controller 104 (for example; The memory management circuitry 202 of Memory Controller 104) can in the redundant digit district of the physical page of the physical blocks of being extracted, write down special marking, writing the physical blocks that pattern operates and distinguish with special with other physical blocks.In addition; The logical address that correspondence is temporary in the data in the memory buffer 208 (promptly; Map information) also can be recorded in the redundant digit district of physical page of the physical blocks of being extracted; Be beneficial to nonvolatile memory stores device 100 when restarting Memory Controller 104 (for example, the memory management circuitry 202 of Memory Controller 104) can be correctly with writing in data-moving (that is, writing again) to the physical blocks of being shone upon that pattern write with special.
