The control circuit and control method of the flash memory.
請參照第1圖,其繪示係為將虛擬區塊對映到實體區塊之示意圖。習知快閃記憶體檔案系統(FFS)係利用區塊對映(Block Mapping)的方式,將虛擬區塊120分別對映於實體區塊140,亦即,對映的基本單元為一個區塊。其中,習知快閃記憶體檔案系統係藉由一區塊對映表(Block Mapping Table)找出與虛擬區塊120相對應之實體區塊140。Please refer to FIG. 1 , which is a schematic diagram of mapping virtual blocks to physical blocks. The conventional flash memory file system (FFS) uses a block mapping method to map the virtual blocks 120 to the physical block 140, that is, the basic unit of the mapping is a block. . The conventional flash memory file system finds the physical block 140 corresponding to the virtual block 120 by using a block mapping table.
虛擬區塊120及實體區塊140分別包括虛擬頁及實體頁,而虛擬頁及實體頁的對映方式可以為下述之第一種頁對映方式或第二種頁對映方式。The virtual block 120 and the physical block 140 respectively include a virtual page and a physical page, and the mapping manner of the virtual page and the physical page may be the first page mapping mode or the second page mapping mode described below.
請參照第2圖,其繪示係為第一種頁對映方式之示意圖。第1圖繪示之虛擬區塊120於第2圖中係以虛擬區塊120(1)至虛擬區塊120(m)表示,且虛擬區塊120(1)至虛擬區塊120(m)各包括虛擬頁122(0)至虛擬頁122(n)。而 第1圖繪示之實體區塊140於第2圖中係以實體區塊140(1)至實體區塊140(m)表示,且實體區塊140(1)至實體區塊140(m)各包括實體頁142(0)至實體頁142(n)。Please refer to FIG. 2, which is a schematic diagram showing the first page mapping mode. The virtual block 120 shown in FIG. 1 is represented by the virtual block 120(1) to the virtual block 120(m) in FIG. 2, and the virtual block 120(1) to the virtual block 120(m). Each includes a virtual page 122 (0) to a virtual page 122 (n). and The physical block 140 shown in FIG. 1 is represented by a physical block 140(1) to a physical block 140(m) in FIG. 2, and the physical block 140(1) to the physical block 140(m) Each includes a physical page 142 (0) to a physical page 142 (n).
前述之第一種頁對映方式稱為循序區塊(In-Order Block)。於第一種頁對映方式中,第一個虛擬區塊120(1)之第1個虛擬頁122(1)係對映至第一個實體區塊140(1)之第1個實體頁142(1),而第一個虛擬區塊120(1)之第2個虛擬頁122(2)係對映至第一個實體區塊140(1)之第2個虛擬頁142(2),以此類推。同樣地,第二個虛擬區塊120(2)之第1個虛擬頁122(1)係對映至第二個實體區塊140(2)之第1個實體頁122(1),而第二個虛擬區塊120(2)之第2個虛擬頁122(2)係對映至第二個實體區塊140(2)之第2個實體頁142(2),以此類推。The first type of page mapping described above is called an In-Order Block. In the first page mapping mode, the first virtual page 122(1) of the first virtual block 120(1) is mapped to the first physical page of the first physical block 140(1). 142 (1), and the second virtual page 122 (2) of the first virtual block 120 (1) is mapped to the second virtual page 142 of the first physical block 140 (1) (2) And so on. Similarly, the first virtual page 122(1) of the second virtual block 120(2) is mapped to the first physical page 122(1) of the second physical block 140(2), and the first The second virtual page 122(2) of the two virtual blocks 120(2) is mapped to the second physical page 142(2) of the second physical block 140(2), and so on.
由於虛擬區塊120(1)至虛擬區塊120(m)中的虛擬頁係與實體區塊140(1)至實體區塊140(m)中的實體頁依序對映,因此,不需要額外的頁對映表(Page Mapping Table)即可找出與實體頁142相對應之實體頁122。Since the virtual page system in the virtual block 120(1) to the virtual block 120(m) is sequentially mapped with the physical page in the physical block 140(1) to the physical block 140(m), it is not required An additional page mapping table can find the physical page 122 corresponding to the physical page 142.
第二種頁對映方式稱為非循序區塊(Out-of-Order Block)。於第二種頁對映方式中,各虛擬區塊120中的實體頁122與實體區塊140中的虛擬頁142並無上述依序對映的關係。所以,需要建立額外的頁對映表(Page Mapping Table)才能找出與虛擬頁142相對應之實體頁122。The second page mapping method is called an Out-of-Order Block. In the second page mapping mode, the physical page 122 in each virtual block 120 and the virtual page 142 in the physical block 140 do not have the above-described sequential mapping relationship. Therefore, you need to create an additional page mapping table (Page Mapping Table) can find the physical page 122 corresponding to the virtual page 142.
然而,當主機係對快閃記憶體隨機存取(Random Write Sequence)時,第一種頁對映方式將造成效能的降低。此外,當主機係對快閃記憶體循序存取(Sequential Write Sequence)時,第二種頁對映方式也將造成效能的降低。因此,如何提出較佳的解決方式以改善效能的降低,即成為目前所急需解決的問題。However, when the host is on the Random Write Sequence, the first page mapping will result in a lower performance. In addition, when the host is in the Sequential Write Sequence, the second page mapping mode will also reduce the performance. Therefore, how to propose a better solution to improve the performance reduction has become an urgent problem to be solved.

為讓本發明之上述內容能更明顯易懂,下文特舉一較佳實施例,並配合所附圖式,作詳細說明如下:In order to make the above-mentioned contents of the present invention more comprehensible, a preferred embodiment will be described below, and in conjunction with the drawings, a detailed description is as follows:
請參照第3圖,其繪示依照本發明一較佳實施例的一種快閃記憶體之控制電路之示意圖。快閃記憶體之控制電路30係耦接於主機20與快閃記憶體40之間,且用於控制主機20與快閃記憶體40之間的資料存取。控制電路30包括主機介面310、預測單元320、循序區塊(In-Order Block)存取單元330、非循序區塊(Out-Of-Order Block)存取單元340及快閃記憶體控制器350。其中,預測單元320、循序區塊存取單元330、非循序區塊存取單元340可以硬體或軟體方式實現,或是以部份硬體搭配部份軟體實現。Please refer to FIG. 3, which is a schematic diagram of a control circuit of a flash memory according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention. The control circuit 30 of the flash memory is coupled between the host 20 and the flash memory 40, and is used to control data access between the host 20 and the flash memory 40. The control circuit 30 includes a host interface 310, a prediction unit 320, an In-Order Block access unit 330, an Out-Of-Order Block access unit 340, and a flash memory controller 350. . The prediction unit 320, the sequential block access unit 330, and the non-sequential block access unit 340 may be implemented in a hardware or software manner, or may be implemented by partially hardware matching a part of the software.
主機介面310用以耦接主機20,並用以接收主機20輸出之存取命令S1,以存取更新區塊至快閃記憶體40。預測單元320用以根據存取命令S1判斷主機20係對快閃記憶體40循序存取(Sequential Write Sequence)或隨機存取(Random Write Sequence),以選擇性地輸出存取請求S2(Access Request)或存取請求S3。The host interface 310 is coupled to the host 20 and is configured to receive an access command S1 output by the host 20 to access the update block to the flash memory 40. The prediction unit 320 is configured to determine, according to the access command S1, that the host 20 is in the Sequential Write Sequence or the Random Write Sequence to selectively output the access request S2 (Access Request). Or access request S3.
當主機20係對快閃記憶體40循序存取時,預測單元320輸出存取請求S2至循序區塊(In-Order Block)存取單元330。循序區塊存取單元330根據存取請求S2標示更新區塊為一循序區塊,並根據存取請求S2控制快閃記憶體控制器350對快閃記憶體40執行一循序區塊寫入操作 (In-Order Block Write Operation)。When the host 20 sequentially accesses the flash memory 40, the prediction unit 320 outputs the access request S2 to the In-Order Block access unit 330. The sequential block access unit 330 marks the update block as a sequential block according to the access request S2, and controls the flash memory controller 350 to perform a sequential block write operation on the flash memory 40 according to the access request S2. (In-Order Block Write Operation).
相反地,當主機20係對快閃記憶體40隨機存取時,預測單元320輸出存取請求S3至非循序區塊(Out-Of-Order Block)存取單元340。非循序區塊(Out-Of-Order Block)存取單元340根據存取請求S3標示更新區塊為一非循序區塊,並根據更新區塊建立一頁對映表(Page Mapping Table)。此外,非循序區塊存取單元340並根據存取請求S3控制快閃記憶體控制器350執行一非循序區塊(Out-Of-Order Block Write Operation)寫入操作。Conversely, when the host 20 randomly accesses the flash memory 40, the prediction unit 320 outputs an access request S3 to an Out-Of-Order Block access unit 340. The Out-Of-Order Block access unit 340 indicates that the update block is a non-sequential block according to the access request S3, and creates a page mapping table according to the update block. In addition, the non-sequential block access unit 340 controls the flash memory controller 350 to perform an out-of-order block write operation write operation according to the access request S3.
請參照第4圖,其繪示係為存取命令之示意圖。進一步來說,預測單元320例如係根據存取命令S1及一預設準則(Predefined Criteria)判斷主機310係對快閃記憶體40循序存取或隨機存取,而預設準則可視需求而有不同的實施態樣。Please refer to FIG. 4, which is a schematic diagram showing an access command. Further, the prediction unit 320 determines, for example, that the host 310 sequentially or randomly accesses the flash memory 40 according to the access command S1 and a preset criterion (Predefined Criteria), and the preset criteria may be different depending on the requirements. The implementation of the situation.
舉例來說,前述之主機介面310於接收存取命令S1之前,係接收存取命令S4,且主機介面310於接收存取命令S4之前,係接收存取命令S5。存取命令S1、存取命令S4及存取命令S5分別包括存取類型(如讀或寫)、邏輯區塊位址(Logical Block Address, LBA)及區段計數值(Sector Count)。且預測單元320更記錄各存取命令之邏輯區塊位址及區段計數值。For example, the host interface 310 receives the access command S4 before receiving the access command S1, and the host interface 310 receives the access command S5 before receiving the access command S4. The access command S1, the access command S4, and the access command S5 include an access type (such as a read or write), a logical block address (LBA), and a sector count value (Sector Count), respectively. And the prediction unit 320 further records the logical block address and the segment count value of each access command.
而預設準則例如為計算存取命令S4之邏輯區塊位址及區段計數值之總和是否等於存取命令S1之邏輯區塊位 址?若存取命令S4之邏輯區塊位址及區段計數值之總和等於存取命令S1之邏輯區塊位址,表示主機20係對快閃記憶體40循序存取。The preset criterion is, for example, whether the sum of the logical block address and the segment count value of the access command S4 is equal to the logical block bit of the access command S1. site? If the sum of the logical block address and the segment count value of the access command S4 is equal to the logical block address of the access command S1, it indicates that the host 20 is sequentially accessing the flash memory 40.
或者,再進一步計算存取命令S5之邏輯區塊位址及區段計數值之總和是否等於存取命令S4之邏輯區塊位址?若存取命令S5之邏輯區塊位址及區段計數值之總和等於存取命令S4之邏輯區塊位址及存取命令S4之邏輯區塊位址及區段計數值之總和等於存取命令S1之邏輯區塊位址,表示主機20係對快閃記憶體40循序存取。Or, further calculating whether the sum of the logical block address and the segment count value of the access command S5 is equal to the logical block address of the access command S4? If the sum of the logical block address and the segment count value of the access command S5 is equal to the logical block address of the access command S4 and the sum of the logical block address and the segment count value of the access command S4 is equal to the access The logical block address of the command S1 indicates that the host 20 is sequentially accessing the flash memory 40.
前述之預設準則並不侷限於此,預設準則亦可計算第n-1個存取命令之邏輯區塊位址及區段計數值之總和是否等於第n個存取命令之邏輯區塊位址。其中,n=2~N,而N係為正整數。預設準則可視需求而決定N值大小。The foregoing preset criterion is not limited thereto, and the preset criterion may also calculate whether the sum of the logical block address and the segment count value of the n-1th access command is equal to the logical block of the nth access command. Address. Where n = 2~N and N is a positive integer. The preset criteria can determine the value of N depending on the demand.
請參照第5圖,其繪示依照本發明一較佳實施例的一種快閃記憶體之控制方法之流程圖。快閃記憶體之控制方法用於控制上述主機20與快閃記憶體40之間的資料存取,且控制方法包括如下步驟:首先如步驟510所示,主機介面310接收主機20輸出之存取命令S1,存取命令S1用以存取一更新區塊至快閃記憶體40。接著如步驟520所示,紀錄存取命令S1之邏輯區塊位址及區段計數值。Please refer to FIG. 5, which is a flow chart of a method for controlling a flash memory according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention. The flash memory control method is used to control data access between the host 20 and the flash memory 40, and the control method includes the following steps: First, as shown in step 510, the host interface 310 receives the output of the host 20 output. Command S1, access command S1 is used to access an update block to flash memory 40. Next, as shown in step 520, the logical block address and the segment count value of the access command S1 are recorded.
跟著如步驟530所示,根據寫入命令S1判斷主機20 係對快閃記憶體40循序存取或隨機存取(Random Write Sequence),以選擇性地輸出存取請求S2或存取請求S3。若預測單元320輸出存取請求S2表示主機20係對快閃記憶體40循序存取。相反地,若預測單元320輸出存取請求S3表示主機20係對快閃記憶體40隨機存取。Following the step 530, the host 20 is determined according to the write command S1. The flash memory 40 is sequentially accessed or randomized (Random Write Sequence) to selectively output an access request S2 or an access request S3. If the prediction unit 320 outputs the access request S2, the host 20 is sequentially accessing the flash memory 40. Conversely, if the prediction unit 320 outputs an access request S3, it indicates that the host 20 is randomly accessing the flash memory 40.
當主機20係對快閃記憶體40循序存取時,係如步驟540所示,循序區塊存取單元330標示更新區塊為一循序區塊。接著如步驟550所示,循序區塊存取單元330根據存取請求S2控制快閃記憶體控制器350對快閃記憶體40執行一循序區塊(In-Order Block)寫入操作。When the host 20 sequentially accesses the flash memory 40, as shown in step 540, the sequential block access unit 330 indicates that the update block is a sequential block. Next, as shown in step 550, the sequential block access unit 330 controls the flash memory controller 350 to perform an In-Order Block write operation on the flash memory 40 in accordance with the access request S2.
相反地,當主機20係對快閃記憶體40隨機存取時,係如步驟560所示,非循序區塊存取單元340標示更新區塊為一非循序區塊。接著如步驟570所示,非循序區塊存取單元340根據更新區塊建立一頁對映表(Page Mapping Table)。然後如步驟580所示,非循序區塊存取單元340根據存取請求S3控制快閃記憶體控制器350執行一非循序區塊(Out-Of-Order Block)寫入操作。Conversely, when the host 20 randomly accesses the flash memory 40, as shown in step 560, the non-sequential block access unit 340 indicates that the update block is a non-sequential block. Next, as shown in step 570, the non-sequential block access unit 340 creates a page mapping table based on the updated block. Then, as shown in step 580, the non-sequential block access unit 340 controls the flash memory controller 350 to perform an out-of-order block write operation in accordance with the access request S3.
本發明上述實施例所揭露之快閃記憶體之控制電路及控制方法,係根據主機20係對快閃記憶體40循序存取或隨機存取而動態地選擇出較佳的頁對映方式(如循序區塊(In-Order Block)或非循序區塊(Out-Of-Order Block)),進而提高效能。The control circuit and the control method of the flash memory disclosed in the above embodiments of the present invention dynamically select a better page mapping mode according to the sequential access or random access of the host 20 to the flash memory 40 ( Such as In-Order Block or Out-Of-Order Block, which improves performance.
