It relates to a computer storage device that can increase capacity as well as increase processing speed.
컴퓨터는 입력장치, 출력장치, 기억장치, 연산장치로 이루어지는데 그중 기억장치는 연산장치에서 연산을 위해 직접 제어하며 실행을 위한 명령어들을 일시적으로 기억시키는 주기억장치와, 연산된 결과 및 각종 데이터 등을 기억시키는 보조기억장치가 있다.The computer consists of an input device, an output device, a memory device, and an arithmetic device. Among them, the memory device directly controls the arithmetic operation in the arithmetic device and temporarily stores the instructions for execution. There is an auxiliary memory device to remember.
따라서, 주기억장치는 연산장치인 중앙처리장치에서 연산을 위해 사용되기 때문에 고속동작에 중점을 두고, 보조기억장치는 각종 데이터 등을 기억시키는 목적으로 용량에 중점을 두고 있다. 그래서, 주기억장치로는 반도체기억장치인 롬이나 램이 주로 이용되며, 보조기억장치로는 플로피디스크, 하드디스크, 자기드럼, 자기테이프 등이 사용된다.Therefore, since the main memory device is used for the calculation in the central processing unit, which is an arithmetic unit, the main memory unit focuses on high-speed operation, and the auxiliary memory unit focuses on the capacity for storing various data. Therefore, a main memory device is mainly a ROM or RAM as a semiconductor memory device, and a floppy disk, a hard disk, a magnetic drum, a magnetic tape, and the like are used as the auxiliary memory device.

Data is stored while reading or writing between the disks 20 and between the DRAM module 30 and the hard disk 20 through interfaces with various buses.
이때, 중앙처리장치(10)의 내부메모리(14), 하드디스크(20), DRAM모듈(30)간의 인터페이스는 처리 속도면에서 서로 상이하기 때문에 보드를 설계하는 디자이너나 사용자에게 구입의 부담이 발생하는 문제점이 있다.At this time, since the interface between the internal memory 14, the hard disk 20, and the DRAM module 30 of the central processing unit 10 are different from each other in terms of processing speed, the burden of purchasing is on the designer or the user who designs the board. There is a problem.
본 발명은 상기와 같은 문제점을 해결하기 위해 창작된 것으로서, 본 발명의 목적은 컴퓨터의 보조기억장치인 하드디스크를 제거하고 플레쉬메모리와 디램을 사용하여 주기억장치와 보조기억장치를 통합 형성하며, 착탈이 용이하도록 구성함으로써 처리속도의 향상뿐만 아니라 용량도 늘릴 수 있도록 한 컴퓨터의 기억장치를 제공함에 있다.The present invention has been made to solve the above problems, and an object of the present invention is to remove the hard disk as a secondary memory device of the computer and to form a main memory device and a secondary memory device by using a flash memory and a DRAM, and detachable It is to provide a storage device of a computer that can be configured to facilitate this, not only to improve the processing speed but also to increase the capacity.

도 2는 본 발명에 의한 컴퓨터의 기억장치를 나타낸 블록구성도이다.2 is a block diagram showing a storage device of a computer according to the present invention.
여기에 도시된 바와 같이 본 발명에 의한 기억장치(100)는 컴퓨터 메인보드(200)와 연결하기 위한 연결소켓(110)과, 다수개의 플레쉬메모리를 배열하여 형성한 플레쉬메모리부(130)와, 다수개의 DRAM을 배열하여 형성한 DRAM모듈부(140)와, 플레쉬메모리부(130)와 DRAM모듈부(140)를 연결소켓(110)을 통해 메인보드(200)와 데이터를 주고받을 수 있도록 하여 플레쉬메모리부(130)와 DRAM모듈부(140)에 데이터를 기록하고 기록된 데이터를 읽어갈 수 있도록 하는 인터페이스제어부(120)와, DRAM모듈부(140)에 자체적으로 전원을 공급하기 위한 충전부(150)로 이루어져 처리속도의 향상뿐만 아니라 시스템의 메모리 용량도 늘릴 수 있게 되며, 메인보드(200)로부터 전원이 차단되더라도 일정시간 DRAM모듈부(140)에 저장된 데이터를 소실하지 않고 보존하도록 한다.As shown here, the memory device 100 according to the present invention includes a connection socket 110 for connecting to a computer main board 200, a flash memory unit 130 formed by arranging a plurality of flash memories, The DRAM module 140 formed by arranging a plurality of DRAMs, and the flash memory 130 and the DRAM module 140 may exchange data with the main board 200 through the connection socket 110. The interface controller 120 may write data to the flash memory unit 130 and the DRAM module unit 140, and read the recorded data, and a charging unit for supplying power to the DRAM module unit 140 itself. 150 to improve the processing speed as well as increase the memory capacity of the system, and even if the power is cut off from the main board 200 to preserve the data stored in the DRAM module 140 for a certain time without losing.
또한, 충전부(150)에는 전원차단스위치를 설치함으로써 시스템의 전원에 독립적으로 충전부(150)의 전원이 DRAM모듈부(140)로 공급되는 것을 단속할 수 있도록 한다.In addition, by installing a power cut-off switch in the charging unit 150, it is possible to intermittently supply the power of the charging unit 150 to the DRAM module unit 140 independently of the power of the system.
도 3은 본 발명에 의한 컴퓨터의 기억장치를 컴퓨터에 장착한 예시도이다.3 is an exemplary diagram in which a storage device of a computer according to the present invention is mounted on a computer.
여기에 도시된 바와 같이 본 발명에 의한 기억장치(100)를 컴퓨터의 메인보드(200)에 플로피디스크 드라이버(300)나 CD롬 드라이버(400)와 같이 연결소켓(110)을 통해 연결하여 사용하는 것을 볼 수 있다.As shown here, the storage device 100 according to the present invention is connected to the main board 200 of a computer through a connection socket 110 such as a floppy disk driver 300 or a CD ROM driver 400. You can see that.
위와 같이 이루어져 컴퓨터의 부팅시 사용되는 중요한 파일들과 응용 프로그램이 구동할 수 있을 만큼만의 데이터를 플레쉬메모리부(130)에 저장하고 나머지는 DRAM모듈부(140)에 저장하여 사용한다.It is configured as described above and stores only enough data that can be driven by the important files and application programs used when the computer is booted in the flash memory unit 130, and the rest is stored and used in the DRAM module unit 140.
즉, 부팅시키기 위한 OS는 부팅파일과 응용프로그램을 구동하기 위한 DLL파일로 이루어져 있기 때문에 컴퓨터가 부팅될 때 필수적인 파일과 DLL파일을 플레쉬메모리부(130)에 기록하여 사용하고 나머지는 DRAM모듈부(140)를 사용하게 된다.That is, since the OS for booting consists of a boot file and a DLL file for driving an application program, the essential files and DLL files are recorded and used in the flash memory unit 130 when the computer is booted, and the rest of the DRAM module unit ( 140).
이럴 경우 플레쉬메모리부(130)를 약 200MB 이하로 구성하고 DRAM모듈부(140)는 사용자에 따라 늘려 사용할 수 있도록 하여 컴퓨터의 처리속도를 향상시키게 된다.In this case, the flash memory unit 130 may be configured to about 200 MB or less, and the DRAM module unit 140 may be increased according to a user, thereby improving the processing speed of the computer.
또한, 충전부(150)를 둠으로써 DRAM모듈부(140)에는 시스템의 전원과 관계없이 충전부(150)를 통해 전원을 공급받을 수 있기 때문에 시스템에 갑자기 이상이 발생했을 경우에도 일정시간 데이터를 보존할 수 있어 데이터의 손실을 방지할 수 있다.In addition, since the charging unit 150 is provided, the DRAM module 140 can receive power through the charging unit 150 irrespective of the power supply of the system. Therefore, even when an abnormality occurs in the system, data may be stored for a certain time. It can prevent the loss of data.
한편, 충전부(150)를 통해 전원을 독립적으로 공급받기 때문에 본 발명에 의한 기억장치(100)를 시스템에서 착탈시키고자 할 때 시스템의 끄지 않은 상태에서도 기억장치(100)의 전원만을 차단한후 착탈시킬 수 있다.On the other hand, since power is independently supplied through the charging unit 150, when the memory device 100 according to the present invention is detached from the system, only the power supply of the memory device 100 is removed even after the system is not turned off. You can.
상기한 바와 같이 본 발명은 플레쉬메모리와 디램을 사용하여 주기억장치와 보조기억장치를 통합 형성하며, 착탈이 용이하도록 구성함으로써 처리속도의 향상뿐만 아니라 시스템의 메모리 용량도 늘릴 수 있는 이점이 있다.As described above, the present invention integrates a main memory device and an auxiliary memory device using a flash memory and a DRAM, and is configured to be easily detachable, thereby increasing the processing speed as well as increasing the memory capacity of the system.
또한, 착탈이 용이하여 시스템을 사용하지 않을 경우 기억장치만 별도로 보관하여 보안성을 향상시킬 수 있는 이점이 있다.In addition, there is an advantage that can be easily removable to improve the security by storing only the storage device when not using the system.
또한, 독립적인 전원을 사용함으로써 시스템에 갑작스런 이상이 발생할 경우에도 데이터의 손실을 방지할 수 있으며, 시스템의 전원을 끄지 않은 상태에서도 기억장치의 전원을 차단함으로써 착탈할 수 있는 이점이 있다.In addition, by using an independent power supply, it is possible to prevent data loss even when a sudden abnormality occurs in the system, and there is an advantage that it can be detached by turning off the power of the storage device even when the system is not turned off.
