Abstract
【解決手段】ディスク装置をエミュレートするソリッドステートメモリであって、論理セクタアドレスをメインメモリアドレスに変換する変換手段と、ブロック単位で消去可能な不揮発性メモリセルから構成されるメインメモリとを備え、メインメモリ内の書き込まれていない位置を指すために第一のポインタが使用され、前記書き込まれていない位置を含む消去可能ブロックの次の消去されていない消去可能ブロックを指すために第二のポインタが使用され、第一のポインタと第二のポインタの間に少なくとも一つの消去状態の消去可能ブロックが常にあることを保証すべく制御手段が設けられていることを特徴とするソリッドステートメモリ。
【選択図】図1
Description
ロックを消去する前に消去されるセクタを別のブロックにコピーすることを含む。
定のメモリ技術に依存する。
エミュレーションプロトコルに基づく一つのデータ単位である。フラッシュメモリに記憶されたデータ(一般には、512バイトにECCバイトおよびヘッダを加えたもの)を以下、フラッシュセクタと称する。ホストのオペレーティングシステムによって送られたデータ(一般に512バイト)を以下、ホストセクタと称する。ホストセクタは、ホストとのデータ転送の基本単位である。最も一般的なホストセクタのサイズは512バイトである。フレーム36はフラッシュブロック34の、例えば、長方形のフラッシュブロック34内の行などのアドレス可能なサブユニットである。各ワード38は、特定技術に依存しないインタフェース14でアドレス可能な最小単位としてランダムにアクセス可能である。ワードサイズは、メモリシステムのデータ入出力の幅によって設定され、1、2、または4バイトとすることができる。
アドレスが提供される。その消去ブロックが全て欠陥で、書込み可能なセクタを全く含まない(これは、消去ブロックテーブル中の特定のエントリで示される)場合は、消去ポインタは再び増分される。消去ポインタが、使用可能な最上位の消去ブロックに達したときには、ポインタは、メモリの最下位部分に戻り、使用可能な最下位の消去ブロックを指す。消去ブロックは、現在の書込み位置の直上の消去されたセクタ位置の数がほぼ一定に保たれるような速度で消去される。したがって消去動作は、消去ポインタで規定されたセクタ番号と書込みポインタで規定されたセクタ番号の差があるしきい値より小さくなったときに実行される。消去ブロックを消去する前に、その消去ブロック内の有効データを含むセクタを再配置しなければならない。この有効データの再配置は、有効データを含むセクタを再配置バッファ(以下、転送バッファと称す)に読み出し、次いでこれらのセクタを、書込みポインタが指す位置に書き込むことによって実施される。論理−物理アドレス変換テーブルは、そのセクタの新しい物理セクタアドレスを指すように更新される。このようにして有効セクタのみが再配置され、古いデータを有するセクタは自動的に消去されるので、記憶データの自動圧縮が提供される。
