In addition, in the present invention, among the terminals constituting the SATA interface connector, terminals which are not used for the SATA interface are used as terminals supporting a heterogeneous interface such as a USB interface and a UFS interface, And to provide a memory device that can be universally applied to a memory device.
In addition, the present invention supports a durable USB interface and UFS interface, which have relatively low durability using a SATA interface connector and socket, thereby reducing the possibility of electrical connection failure due to repetitive detachment of the memory device, And to increase the service life of the battery.
In the memory device having the multiple interface function according to the present invention, among the terminals constituting the SATA interface connector, at least a part of the spare terminals which are not used for the SATA interface are used as terminals supporting the heterogeneous interface different from the SATA interface A memory unit for providing a space for storing data input and output through the multiple interface connector, and an interface supported by an external device connected to the multiple interface connector, And controls the input / output of data through terminals corresponding to the interface of the external device.
In the memory device having the multiple interface function according to the present invention, the heterogeneous interface includes at least one of a USB interface and a UFS interface.
In the memory device having the multiple interface function according to the present invention, when the external device supports the SATA interface, the controller controls the data input / output through the SATA interface terminals among the terminals constituting the multiple interface connector When the external device supports the USB interface, the controller controls the input / output of data through the USB interface terminals among the terminals constituting the multiple interface connector, and when the external device supports the UFS interface, The control unit controls the input / output of data through the UFS interface terminals among the terminals constituting the multiple interface connector.
In the memory device having the multiple interface function according to the present invention, the memory unit includes a plurality of flash memory chips mounted on a substrate.
According to the present invention, it is possible to provide a memory device capable of supporting multiple interfaces without requiring any structural modification to the interface connector of the memory.
In addition, among the terminals constituting the SATA interface connector, the terminals not used for the SATA interface are used as the terminals supporting the heterogeneous interface such as the USB interface and the UFS interface, There is an effect that a memory device can be applied.
In addition, by supporting durable USB interface and UFS interface which have relatively weak durability using SATA interface connector and socket, it is possible to reduce the possibility of occurrence of electrical connection failure due to repetitive detachment of memory device, It has the effect of increasing the age.
