Detailed Description
Embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below, examples of which are illustrated in the accompanying drawings, wherein like or similar reference numerals refer to like or similar elements or elements having like or similar functions throughout. The embodiments described below by referring to the drawings are illustrative and intended to explain the present invention and should not be construed as limiting the invention.
Example 1
Referring to fig. 1-3, the invention provides a power-down protection circuit of a NAND Flash chip, wherein the power-down protection circuit is connected with a system power supply, a DC-DC converter of the NAND Flash chip and a NAND Flash chip controller; the power-down protection circuit includes:
the energy storage power supply is used as a standby power supply and supplies power to the NAND Flash chip under the condition that the system power supply is unstable or is powered off;
the switch control circuit is used for controlling the system power supply, the energy storage power supply and the access among the NAND Flash chips, and switching the power supply to supply power for the NAND Flash chips;
the system power supply voltage detection circuit is connected with the system power supply and is used for monitoring the voltage value of the system power supply and comparing whether the output voltage of the system power supply is smaller than a preset threshold voltage or not;
and the energy storage power supply voltage detection circuit is connected with the energy storage power supply and is used for monitoring the voltage value of the energy storage power supply and comparing whether the output voltage of the energy storage power supply is smaller than a preset threshold voltage.
The switch control circuit comprises a first switch control unit S1 and a second switch control unit S2, the first switch control unit S1 and the second switch control unit S2 are in a closed state under the normal working condition, a system power supply directly supplies power to the NAND Flash chip, and after a power failure event occurs, the first switch control unit is disconnected, the second switch control unit is closed, and the energy storage power supply supplies power to the NAND Flash chip.
It should be noted that, the NAND Flash chip controller includes a cap_fail port and a power_fail port, where:
and the Cap_FALL port is connected to the energy storage power supply voltage detection circuit and is used for outputting a pulse signal after the voltage value of the energy storage power supply is reduced to a preset threshold voltage to inform the NAND Flash chip controller that the electric quantity of the energy storage power supply is insufficient at the moment.
And the power_FALL port is connected with the system Power supply voltage detection circuit and is used for outputting a pulse signal when the Power supply voltage is lower than a preset threshold voltage to inform the NAND Flash chip controller that the Power supply voltage is in an unstable state and the risk of unexpected Power failure exists.
The specific power failure monitoring process comprises the following steps: the system Power supply voltage detection circuit is a Power supply management chip, monitors the voltage value of the system Power supply, when detecting that the voltage of the system Power supply is lower than a preset threshold voltage Va, proves that the system is in an unstable state at the moment and even has accidental Power failure risk, the power_FALL port outputs a pulse signal, and after the NAND Flash controller detects that the power_FALL port is the pulse signal, the first switch control unit S1 is disconnected, the energy storage Power supply is adopted to continuously supply Power to the NAND Flash, and in the embodiment, the energy storage Power supply is a super capacitor Cap.
The energy storage power supply voltage detection circuit is also a power supply management chip, monitors the voltage value of the super capacitor Cap, and after the voltage value of the super capacitor is reduced to a preset threshold voltage Vb, the Cap_FALL outputs a pulse signal to inform the NAND Flash controller that the electric quantity of the super capacitor Cap is insufficient at the moment.
Generally, the service life of an SSD solid state disk can reach years or even decades, while a capacitor belongs to a lossy type product, and the electric quantity of the capacitor becomes smaller over time. In order to prevent the error judgment of the system on the electric quantity of the current super capacitor Cap from generating, and the control of the NAND Flash controller on the command is deviated when the system is powered off, the invention increases a capacitor electric quantity detection mechanism to detect the electric quantity of the super capacitor Cap.
The system can periodically detect the electric quantity of the super capacitor Cap through the energy storage power supply voltage detection circuit, when the electric quantity of the super capacitor Cap is insufficient, the switch S1 is closed, the switch S2 is opened, and the super capacitor Cap is charged through the system power supply, as shown in fig. 2. After a power failure event occurs in the system, the switch S1 is opened, the switch S2 is closed, power is supplied to the NAND Flash chip through the super capacitor, and when the detection power supply voltage detection circuit detects that the capacity and the electric quantity are insufficient, the Cap_FALL sends out a pulse signal to inform the NAND Flash chip controller that the energy storage power supply is insufficient at the moment.
The power-down protection circuit provided by the invention adopts the capacitor as the energy storage element, but the capacity is limited by the capacity, and the capacity is limited by the system board, so that the capacity is limited, and the power can be continuously supplied for a period of time. Therefore, when the power supply of the system is powered down and the super capacitor is used for supplying power, only a part of commands can be processed. The invention increases the command execution optimization mechanism, so that the system can ensure the integrity of the data in a limited time.
When the system Power supply is powered down, after the NAND Flash controller receives a power_FALL pulse signal, the NAND Flash controller firstly evaluates all commands to be executed, such as command execution time required by programming, erasing and reading commands, compares the command execution time with the expected Power supply time of the super capacitor Cap, and executes all commands to be executed in sequence if the command execution time is smaller than the expected Power supply time of the super capacitor Cap; if the power supply time is longer than the expected power supply time of the super capacitor Cap, executing the command according to the programming > reading > erasing priority level.
The NAND Flash controller firstly executes programming operation, writes data into corresponding units, secondly executes reading operation, and finally executes erasing instruction. Because the erase operation takes longer than the program and read operations in the program, erase, and read commands, the priority of the erase operation is the lowest, ensuring that there is enough time to perform the program operation and ensuring the integrity of the data.
After the NAND Flash controller receives the Cap_FALL pulse signal, it means that the capacity of the super capacitor Cap is insufficient, at this time, a block which has not executed the command is marked, and the command is executed again after the system is powered on.

S20, after a power supply channel of the DC-DC converter and the external power supply is disconnected, the energy storage power supply supplies power to the NAND Flash chip, the voltage value of the energy storage power supply is monitored through the energy storage power supply voltage detection circuit, and after the voltage value of the energy storage power supply is reduced to a preset threshold voltage, the NAND Flash controller is informed of the insufficient electric quantity of the energy storage power supply.
