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.
Referring to fig. 1, the present invention provides a method for adjusting performance of a storage system, where the method includes:
step S10, obtaining a lookup table of the corresponding relation between the threshold voltage of the NAND FLASH memory and the total dose through experiments and tests.
The specific scheme for establishing the lookup table is as follows: total dose irradiation experiments were performed on NAND FLASH memory, with data being written to NAND FLASH memory prior to irradiation, and then cobalt 60 gamma irradiation was performed on NAND FLASH memory. With the increase of the irradiation dose of cobalt 60 gamma rays, the read threshold voltage V is changed th Obtaining the threshold voltage V of the NAND FLASH memory of the current dose th Distribution, and finally sorting data to form total dose and threshold voltage V th Look-up table of correspondence.
Step S20, monitoring the current threshold voltage of the NAND FLASH memory at regular time.
And (5) reading NAND FLASH stored data in a read retry mode at fixed time, checking whether the read data is correct, and obtaining a voltage range when the read data is correct, namely the current threshold voltage range.
In step S30, the memory controller adjusts the working mode and the system working mode of the NAND FLASH memory according to the current threshold voltage.
First, it is necessary to calculate the threshold voltage shift amount Δv from the current threshold voltage obtained in step S20 th The method comprises the steps of carrying out a first treatment on the surface of the Finally according to the offset DeltaV of the threshold voltage th Adjust NAND FLASH the operating mode and system operating mode, wherein the threshold voltage offset DeltaV th The calculation mode of (a) is as follows:
offset DeltaV th =initial threshold voltage value-current threshold voltage value, initial threshold voltage is a preset voltage range set in the device specification.
Next, a data value N is set, which is a threshold value at which the offset threshold voltage cannot be set by changing the read reference voltage optimization. Comparing the data value N with the threshold voltage offset DeltaV th Is a size relationship of (a).
Finally, according to the obtained data value N and the threshold voltage offset DeltaV th Adjusting the working mode of the NAND FLASH memory and the working mode of the system; specifically:
at the DeltaV th And when the voltage is less than N, changing the reference voltage of the NAND FLASH memory to enable the reference voltage to be equal to the current threshold voltage.
At the DeltaV th When the threshold voltage is more than N, the reference voltage of the NAND FLASH memory is changed to enable the reference voltage to be equal to the current threshold voltage, meanwhile, the working mode of the NAND FLASH memory is changed to be an SLC mode, and the acceptable threshold voltage deviation is larger after the working mode of the NAND FLASH memory is changed from the TLC mode to the SLC mode by utilizing the characteristic that the threshold voltage distribution of the SLC mode is larger than that of TLC, so that the reliability of the NAND FLASH memory is improved. While the memory system data check (ECC) mode employs an ECC algorithm with greater error correction capability,such as BCH or LDPC algorithms, can improve the reliability of the overall system.
The invention also provides a storage system, as shown in fig. 3, which is a structural block diagram of the storage system, and comprises a data interface, a controller, a memory controller, a data verification module, a power module, a clock circuit, a DRAM memory and a NAND FLASH memory, wherein the storage system is used for realizing the performance adjustment method of the storage system.
Devices other than NAND FLASH memory are not susceptible to the effects of total dose under irradiation. Under the action of the total dose, the floating gate of the memory cell in a programmed state can generate charge loss, thereby causing negative drift of the threshold voltage of the memory cell, and obtaining wrong data during reading. By establishing a threshold voltage V th Lookup table corresponding to total dose according to current threshold voltage V of NAND FLASH memory th The total dose accumulated in the current irradiation environment can be obtained. The NAND FLASH memory can thus be used as a total dose sensor for the entire memory system.
In summary, the invention utilizes the characteristic that the NAND FLASH memory is easily affected by the total dose effect in the irradiation environment, and the NAND FLASH memory can be used as a sensor for irradiating the total dose, and the reliability of the whole system in the irradiation environment can be improved by adjusting the working mode of the NAND FLASH memory and the ECC mode of the system.
