In this embodiment, the SRAM 112 is disposed outside of the controller 110B and coupled to the controller 110B.
值得注意的是,為簡化說明,第1A圖與第1B圖僅顯示與本發明相關之元件,並且第1A圖與第1B圖僅顯示多種可應用本發明之架構的其中兩種。然而,本發明之實施並不僅限於第1A圖與第1B圖所示之元件與架構。It is to be noted that, for simplicity of explanation, FIGS. 1A and 1B show only elements related to the present invention, and FIGS. 1A and 1B show only two of the various structures to which the present invention can be applied. However, the implementation of the present invention is not limited to the elements and architectures shown in Figures 1A and 1B.
根據本發明之一實施例,記憶體裝置120包括複數記憶體區塊。記憶體區塊可進一步被區分為複數單層單元(Single Level Cell,縮寫為SLC)區塊與複數多層單元區塊(Multiple Level Cell,縮寫為MLC)區塊。SLC區塊的每個記憶體單元中儲存一個位元資料,MLC區塊的每個記憶體單元中儲存多個位元資料。例如,根據本發明之一實施例,MLC區塊的每一個記憶體單元(亦即每一個浮動閘極電晶體)可以儲存二個位元,包含最低有效位元(LSB)與最高有效位元(MSB)。假設記憶體區塊具有N條字元線,其中N為正整數,每一條字元線可構成兩個資料頁,故記憶體區塊共包含有2*N個資料頁。每一條字元線上的多個記憶體單元所儲存的最低有效位元構成了該字元線對應的第一個物理分頁(最低有效位元資料頁(LSB page))以及所儲存的最高有效位元構成了該字元線對應的第二個物理分頁(最高有效位元資料頁(MSB page))。換言之,MLC區塊的各個物理分頁係分別對應到特定之字元線。在此實施例中,同一條字元線上的二個資料頁具有連續的分頁編號,舉例而言,字元線WL(0)上的多個記憶體單元所儲存的最低有效位元構成了資料頁P(0),字元線WL(0)上的多個記憶體單元所儲存的最高有效位元構成了資料頁P(1),但本發明不以此為限。於其他實施例中,同一條字元線上的多個資料頁可具有不連續的分頁編號。According to an embodiment of the invention, the memory device 120 includes a plurality of memory blocks. The memory block can be further divided into a plurality of single level cells (SLC) blocks and a plurality of multiple level cells (MLCs). One bit of metadata is stored in each memory unit of the SLC block, and a plurality of bit data are stored in each memory unit of the MLC block. For example, in accordance with an embodiment of the present invention, each memory cell of the MLC block (ie, each floating gate transistor) can store two bits, including the least significant bit (LSB) and the most significant bit. (MSB). It is assumed that the memory block has N word lines, where N is a positive integer, and each word line can constitute two data pages, so the memory block contains a total of 2*N data pages. The least significant bit stored in the plurality of memory cells on each word line constitutes the first physical page (LSB page) corresponding to the word line and the most significant bit stored. The element constitutes the second physical page (MSB page) corresponding to the word line. In other words, each physical page of the MLC block corresponds to a particular word line. In this embodiment, two data pages on the same word line have consecutive page numbers. For example, the least significant bits stored in the plurality of memory cells on the word line WL(0) constitute data. The page P(0), the most significant bit stored in the plurality of memory cells on the word line WL(0) constitutes the data page P(1), but the invention is not limited thereto. In other embodiments, multiple material pages on the same word line may have discrete page numbers.
如上述,各記憶體區塊可包括複數分頁,通常在快閃記憶體中,一個分頁為一個寫入作業的最小資料塊單位。一個物理分頁的大小為固定的,而一個邏輯分頁的大小則可根據韌體編程需求彈性地被設計。As noted above, each memory block can include a plurality of pages, typically in flash memory, with one page being the smallest block of data for a write job. The size of a physical page is fixed, and the size of a logical page can be flexibly designed according to firmware programming requirements.
一般而言,記憶體裝置的一些特定程序中需要執行資料搬移。例如,多層單元區塊的垃圾回收(garbage collection)程序便會需要執行資料搬移。當執行資料搬移時,資料會自來源記憶體區塊搬移(被寫入)至目的記憶體區塊。於資料搬移的過程中,最不樂見的就是發生不預期的斷電或者突然斷電(Sudden Power Off,縮寫為SPO)。In general, data transfer is required in some specific programs of the memory device. For example, a garbage collection program for a multi-level cell block would require data movement. When data is moved, the data is moved (written) from the source memory block to the destination memory block. In the process of data movement, the most unsatisfactory is the unexpected power outage or sudden power outage (Sudden Power Off, abbreviated as SPO).
當記憶體裝置120於資料搬移的過程中發生突然斷電,傳統的處理方法為放棄已完成的資料搬移,即放棄已被搬移至目的記憶體區塊之資料,並且由控制器尋找其他空的記憶體區塊,再重新開始資料搬移。舉例而言,當資料儲存裝置100上電時,微處理器111可自記憶體裝置120讀取一些變數值(例如,不預期斷電旗標或SPO計數值)判斷是否發生過突然斷電。其中,SPO計數值係用於累計發生不預期斷電的次數,當SPO計數值增加則代表記憶體裝置120的上次關機是不預期斷電造成的。此外,不預期斷電旗標係用於指出資料儲存裝置100上一次的關機是否是不預期斷電造成的,例如:當不預期斷電旗標的值為1時,代表發生不預期斷電,當不預期斷電旗標的值為0時,代表正常關機,於每次資料儲存裝置100上電時,微處理器111可將不預期斷電旗標設定為1並儲存於記憶體裝置120,而當記憶體裝置120正常關機時,微處理器111可將不預期斷電旗標設定為0並儲存於記憶體裝置120,因此若發生不預期斷電後時再次上電時,不預期斷電旗標仍會保持在數值1。若控制器發現先前發生突然斷電時,有尚未完成的資料搬移,則控制器直接放棄該未完成的資料搬移,選取其他的空的記憶體區塊作為目的記憶體區塊,並且再從頭開始進行資料搬移。When the memory device 120 suddenly powers off during the data transfer process, the conventional processing method is to abandon the completed data transfer, that is, to abandon the data that has been moved to the destination memory block, and the controller searches for other empty data. Memory block, and then restart data transfer. For example, when the data storage device 100 is powered on, the microprocessor 111 can read some variable values (eg, an unexpected power-off flag or SPO count value) from the memory device 120 to determine whether a sudden power outage has occurred. The SPO count value is used to accumulate the number of times an unexpected power failure occurs. When the SPO count value increases, it means that the last shutdown of the memory device 120 is caused by an unexpected power failure. In addition, it is not expected that the power-off flag is used to indicate whether the last shutdown of the data storage device 100 is caused by an unexpected power failure. For example, when the value of the power-off flag is not expected to be 1, it indicates that an unexpected power failure has occurred. When the value of the power-off flag is not expected to be 0, it represents a normal shutdown. When each data storage device 100 is powered on, the microprocessor 111 can set the undesired power-off flag to 1 and store it in the memory device 120. When the memory device 120 is normally shut down, the microprocessor 111 can set the undesired power-off flag to 0 and store it in the memory device 120. Therefore, if the power is turned on again after an unexpected power failure, it is not expected to be broken. The electric flag will remain at the value of 1. If the controller finds that there is a data transfer that has not been completed before the sudden power failure occurs, the controller directly abandons the uncompleted data transfer, selects another empty memory block as the destination memory block, and starts from the beginning. Carry out data movement.
然而,這樣的作法,會導致記憶體區塊被抹除的次數增加,因而降低記憶體區塊的壽命。此外,放棄已經完成搬移的資料,選取其他的記憶體區塊從頭開始進行資料搬移也會降低記憶體裝置120的運作效能。However, such an approach results in an increase in the number of times the memory block is erased, thereby reducing the lifetime of the memory block. In addition, abandoning the data that has been moved, selecting other memory blocks to perform data transfer from the beginning will also reduce the operational efficiency of the memory device 120.
為了避免上述的缺陷,本發明提出一種新穎的資料處理方法,不僅無須放棄已經完成搬移的部分資料,也能有效提升記憶體區塊的使用率及運作效能。In order to avoid the above defects, the present invention proposes a novel data processing method, which not only does not need to give up part of the data that has been moved, but also effectively improves the usage rate and operational efficiency of the memory block.
根據本發明之一實施例,當控制器110A/110B判斷先前於執行將資料寫入一多層單元(MLC)區塊之一寫入操作之過程中發生過突然斷電(SPO)時,控制器110A/110B不會捨棄此MLC區塊,而是會先找出被斷電攻擊的物理分頁(以下稱之為既定分頁),並且執行對應之突然斷電回復(Sudden Power Off Recovery,SPOR)程序,包含找到適當的物理分頁並繼續SPO發生之前未完成的寫入操作。According to an embodiment of the present invention, when the controller 110A/110B judges that a sudden power-off (SPO) has occurred in the process of writing a write operation to one of the multi-level cell (MLC) blocks, the control is performed. Instead of discarding this MLC block, the 110A/110B will first find out the physical page that was attacked by the power outage (hereinafter referred to as the scheduled page break) and perform the corresponding Sudden Power Off Recovery (SPOR). A program that includes finding the appropriate physical page and continuing the write operation that was not completed before the SPO occurred.
第2圖係顯示根據本發明之一實施例所述之資料處理方法流程圖。於此實施例中,假設當控制器110A/110B執行將資料寫入一MLC區塊之一寫入操作之過程中發生過突然斷電。當資料儲存裝置100上電時,控制器110A/110B可先藉由一些變數值(例如,不預期斷電旗標或SPO計數值)判斷是否發生過突然斷電。若控制器發現先前發生突然斷電時,此MLC區塊有尚未完成的資料搬移,則控制器110A/110B可先找出MLC區塊中被斷電攻擊的既定分頁(步驟S202)。接著,控制器110A/110B可重新編程(double programming)此既定分頁及與此既定分頁直接相關之一第一分頁(步驟S204)。接著,控制器110A/110B可虛擬編程(dummy programming)與此既定分頁間接相關之複數第二分頁(步驟S206)。接著,控制器110A/110B可決定捨棄與此既定分頁間接相關之複數第三分頁(步驟S208),即,捨棄第三分頁被寫入的資料。2 is a flow chart showing a data processing method according to an embodiment of the present invention. In this embodiment, it is assumed that a sudden power failure occurs during the writing operation of the controller 110A/110B to write data into one of the MLC blocks. When the data storage device 100 is powered on, the controller 110A/110B may first determine whether a sudden power failure has occurred by some variable value (for example, an unexpected power failure flag or an SPO count value). If the controller finds that the MLC block has an uncompleted data transfer when a sudden power failure occurs, the controller 110A/110B may first find a predetermined page of the MLC block that is powered off (step S202). Next, the controller 110A/110B can double programming the predetermined page and one of the first pages directly related to the predetermined page (step S204). Next, the controller 110A/110B may dummy programming a plurality of second pages indirectly associated with the predetermined page (step S206). Next, the controller 110A/110B may decide to discard the complex third page indirectly associated with the predetermined page (step S208), ie, discard the data to which the third page is written.
值得注意的是,於本發明之實施例中,第二分頁與第三分頁均為與此既定分頁間接相關之物理分頁,所謂之間接相關係指第二分頁、第三分頁與此既定分頁所分別對應的字元線於物理空間的配置上是鄰近的(以下將有更詳細的說明)。第二分頁與第三分頁之差異在於,第二分頁為尚未被編程過(尚未寫入資料)的分頁,而第三分頁為於記憶體裝置120被斷電攻擊前已被編程過(已被寫入資料)的分頁。此外,值得注意的是,步驟S206與步驟S208的執行順序可交換。It should be noted that in the embodiment of the present invention, the second page and the third page are both physical pages indirectly related to the predetermined page. The so-called inter-phase relationship refers to the second page, the third page, and the predetermined page. The word lines corresponding to the respective pages are adjacent in the configuration of the physical space (more details will be described below). The difference between the second page and the third page is that the second page is a page that has not been programmed (not yet written), and the third page is programmed before the memory device 120 is powered off. Pagination that has been written to the data). Further, it is to be noted that the order of execution of step S206 and step S208 can be exchanged.
於本發明之實施例中,所述之第二分頁可包括複數分頁編號連續的物理分頁,且所述之第三分頁可包括複數分頁編號連續的物理分頁。In an embodiment of the present invention, the second page may include a plurality of physical page pages of consecutive page numbers, and the third page may include a plurality of physical page pages of consecutive page numbers.
接著,控制器110A/110B可將MLC區塊中該等第三分頁的起始物理分頁的前一物理分頁標註為存有最新(latest)且有效資料的物理分頁(步驟S210)。例如,控制器110A/110B可將此物理分頁的分頁編號紀錄於一變數中,用以指出存有最新(latest)且有效資料的物理分頁為哪個分頁。值得注意的是,步驟S206、步驟S208與步驟S210的執行順序也是可交換。例如,控制器110A/110B可先執行步驟S208,再執行步驟S210,再執行步驟S206。Next, the controller 110A/110B may mark the previous physical page of the first physical page of the third page in the MLC block as the physical page with the latest and valid data (step S210). For example, the controller 110A/110B may record the page number of the physical page in a variable to indicate which page is the physical page with the latest and valid data. It should be noted that the execution order of step S206, step S208 and step S210 is also interchangeable. For example, the controller 110A/110B may first perform step S208, then perform step S210, and then perform step S206.
最後,控制器110A/110B可將MLC區塊中該等第二分頁的結束物理分頁的次一物理分頁標註為第一個空白的物理分頁(步驟S212)。Finally, the controller 110A/110B may mark the next physical page of the end physical page of the second page in the MLC block as the first blank physical page (step S212).
第3圖係顯示根據本發明之一實施例所述之一記憶體區塊所包含之複數物理分頁示意圖。假設記憶體區塊400為一MLC區塊,並包含256個物理分頁,圖中的數字為各物理分頁所給予的分頁編號。分頁編號為一邏輯性的編號。亦即,分頁編號連續之複數分頁並不絕對表示這些分頁於物理空間的配置上是連續、相鄰或相近的。3 is a schematic diagram showing a plurality of physical page partitions included in a memory block according to an embodiment of the present invention. It is assumed that the memory block 400 is an MLC block and contains 256 physical pages, and the numbers in the figure are the page numbers given by the physical pages. The page number is a logical number. That is, the plural page breaks of consecutive page numbers do not absolutely indicate that these page pages are continuous, adjacent or similar in the configuration of the physical space.
假設控制器110A/110B於將資料寫入第48頁時,發生突然斷電(SPO),則此實施例中的第48頁為上述的既定分頁。當記憶體裝置120重新上電時,控制器110A/110B可先藉由一些變數值(例如,不預期斷電旗標或SPO計數值)判斷是否發生過突然斷電。若控制器發現先前發生突然斷電時,此MLC區塊有尚未完成的資料搬移,則控制器110A/110B可先找出此MLC區塊中被斷電攻擊的既定分頁。Assuming that the controller 110A/110B is suddenly powered off (SPO) when writing data onto page 48, page 48 in this embodiment is the predetermined page described above. When the memory device 120 is powered back on, the controller 110A/110B may first determine whether a sudden power failure has occurred by some variable value (eg, an unexpected power down flag or an SPO count value). If the controller finds that the MLC block has an uncompleted data transfer when a sudden power failure occurs, the controller 110A/110B may first find a predetermined page of the MLC block that is powered off.
根據本發明之一實施例,控制器110A/110B可對記憶體區塊400所包含的所有物理分頁執行二元搜索(binary search),以找出目前第一個空白的分頁。於本發明之一實施例,控制器110A/110B可讀取被搜索的各分頁所存之資料,依資料內容判斷是否為空白頁。舉例而言,若讀出的資料圖樣均為1,或者一預設圖樣,則代表為空白頁。於此實施例中,目前第一個空白的分頁為第49頁。In accordance with an embodiment of the present invention, the controller 110A/110B may perform a binary search on all of the physical pages contained in the memory block 400 to find the current first blank page. In an embodiment of the present invention, the controller 110A/110B can read the data stored in each of the searched pages, and determine whether it is a blank page according to the content of the data. For example, if the read data pattern is 1, or a preset pattern, it represents a blank page. In this embodiment, the first blank page is currently page 49.
待找出目前第一個空白的分頁後,便可定位出此MLC區塊中被斷電攻擊的既定分頁。於此實施例中,被斷電攻擊的既定分頁為第一個空白的分頁的前一頁,即,第48頁。After the first blank page is found, the existing page breaks in the MLC block that are powered off can be located. In this embodiment, the predetermined page that is attacked by the power outage is the previous page of the first blank page, i.e., page 48.
接著,控制器110A/110B可重新編程(double programming)此既定分頁及與此既定分頁直接相關之一第一分頁。根據本發明之一實施例,所述之第一分頁為此既定分頁之一配對頁(pair page),其中此既定分頁與其配對頁對應於同一字元線。第一分頁可僅包含一個分頁,或者可包含複數分頁。例如,所述之第一分頁與此既定分頁對應於同一個寫入指令(例如一次性寫入指令/One-shot programing command)時,其中第一分頁可僅包含一個分頁。又例如,於具有兩儲存矩陣(plane)之記憶體裝置120的實施例中,不同儲存矩陣的相對應記憶體區塊可構成一超級區塊,則一次性寫入指令可一次寫入四個分頁的資料,因此第一分頁可包含複數分頁,例如第3圖所示,第一分頁可包含分頁45-47。Controller 110A/110B can then double programming the predetermined page and one of the first pages directly associated with the predetermined page. According to an embodiment of the invention, the first page is a pair page of a predetermined page, wherein the predetermined page corresponds to the same word line as its paired page. The first page can contain only one page, or can contain multiple pages. For example, when the first page and the predetermined page correspond to the same write command (for example, a one-shot programing command), the first page may include only one page. For example, in an embodiment of the memory device 120 having two storage matrices, corresponding memory blocks of different storage matrices may form a super block, and the write-once command may be written once at a time. The paged material, so the first page can contain a plurality of pages, such as shown in Figure 3, and the first page can include pages 45-47.
一般而言,多層單元快閃記憶體的一個記憶單元儲存兩個資料位元,而此兩個資料位元分別屬於一組相對應的強分頁(strong page)與弱分頁(weak page),並且這組強分頁與弱分頁互為彼此之配對頁。所謂強分頁,係指該分頁被寫入資料時的編程忙碌時間(program busy time)較短。反之,所謂弱分頁,係指該分頁被寫入資料時所需的編程忙碌時間較長。一般而言,控制器在將資料寫入快閃記憶體時,是逐次寫入快閃記憶體的各頁。因此,當多層單元快閃記憶體的一組相對應的強分頁與弱分頁先後被寫入資料時,後續被寫入資料的弱分頁可能會影響先前被寫入資料的強分頁的資料儲存。In general, a memory unit of a multi-level cell flash memory stores two data bits, and the two data bits belong to a corresponding set of strong pages and weak pages, respectively. This set of strong pages and weak pages are mutually paired pages. The so-called strong paging means that the program busy time when the page is written is short. Conversely, weak paging means that the programming busy time required for the paging to be written to the data is longer. In general, when the controller writes data to the flash memory, it writes the pages of the flash memory one by one. Therefore, when a corresponding set of strong pages and weak pages of the multi-level cell flash memory are sequentially written into the data, the weak page of the subsequently written data may affect the data storage of the strong pages of the previously written data.
此外,一般而言,記憶體區塊的強分頁與弱分頁的配對關係可以是製造記憶體裝置時就可得知的,或者可以是經由特定的計算而得知的。於此實施例中,既定分頁第48頁的配對頁為第47頁。值得注意的是,於記憶體設計中,強分頁與弱分頁可以是連續(分頁編號連續)的分頁,也可是不連續的分頁,因此,本發明並不限定於任一種可能的配對關係。In addition, in general, the pairing relationship between the strong page and the weak page of the memory block may be known when the memory device is manufactured, or may be known through a specific calculation. In this embodiment, the paired page on page 48 of the predetermined page is page 47. It should be noted that in the memory design, the strong page and the weak page may be consecutive (page number consecutive) pages or discontinuous pages. Therefore, the present invention is not limited to any possible pairing relationship.
根據本發明之一實施例,控制器110A/110B藉由寫入一預定圖樣覆蓋既定分頁及第一分頁原先已被寫入之原始資料,用以重新編程既定分頁及第一分頁,使其穩定。According to an embodiment of the present invention, the controller 110A/110B rewrites the predetermined page and the first page by stabilizing the predetermined page and the original data that the first page has been written by writing a predetermined pattern to stabilize the predetermined page and the first page. .
值得注意的是,於一實施例中,控制器110A/110B於一次寫入操作中可僅編程一個儲存矩陣,因此,因遭受斷電攻擊而直接受影響的分頁為既定分頁及第一分頁(例如既定分頁的配對頁)。然而,本發明並不限於此。於第3圖之實施例中,控制器110A/110B於一次寫入操作中可同時編程兩個儲存矩陣,例如,將兩個記憶體矩陣串聯耦接至相同的字元線組,因此,控制器110A/110B對於活化一既定字元線的一次寫入操作中,可同時編程這兩個儲存矩陣中對應至此既定字元線的分頁,則被斷電攻擊而直接受影響的分頁可包含既定分頁及多個第一分頁,如第3圖所示。因此,於此實施例中,因斷電攻擊而直接影響的分頁亦可為,例如,四個分頁,控制器110A/110B藉由寫入一預定圖樣覆蓋這四個分頁原先已被寫入之原始資料,用以重新編程這四個分頁,使其穩定。It should be noted that in an embodiment, the controller 110A/110B can program only one storage matrix in a write operation, and therefore, the page that is directly affected by the power-off attack is a predetermined page and a first page ( For example, a paired page of a given page break). However, the invention is not limited thereto. In the embodiment of FIG. 3, the controller 110A/110B can simultaneously program two storage matrices in a write operation, for example, coupling two memory matrices in series to the same set of word lines, thus controlling In a write operation for activating a predetermined word line, the pages of the two storage matrices corresponding to the predetermined word line can be programmed at the same time, and the directly affected paging can be included in the write-off attack. Pagination and multiple first pagination, as shown in Figure 3. Therefore, in this embodiment, the paging directly affected by the power-off attack may also be, for example, four pages, and the controller 110A/110B covers the four pages by writing a predetermined pattern. Raw data to reprogram these four pages to make them stable.
接著,控制器110A/110B可找出與既定分頁間接相關之複數第三分頁,並且決定捨棄第三分頁。根據本發明之一實施例,與既定分頁間接相關的分頁係指會因突然斷電的發生而導致記憶體狀態不穩定或儲存資料失真的分頁。根據本發明之一實施例,假設既定分頁係對應至一既定字元線,則第三分頁可包括對應至鄰近此既定字元線之一或多條(或,一既定數量)字元線之複數物理分頁。根據本發明之一實施例,所述之鄰近字元線可以字元線編號相近的字元線,亦可以是物理空間中配置於鄰近的位置的字元線(即便字元線編號不相近)。於此實施例中,第三分頁為第37分頁至第44分頁。Controller 110A/110B can then find a plurality of third pages that are indirectly related to the predetermined page and decide to discard the third page. According to an embodiment of the present invention, the page indirectly associated with a predetermined page refers to a page that may result in unstable memory state or distortion of stored data due to the occurrence of a sudden power failure. According to an embodiment of the present invention, assuming that the predetermined page break corresponds to a predetermined word line, the third page may include one or more (or a predetermined number) of word lines corresponding to the adjacent word line. Plural physical paging. According to an embodiment of the present invention, the adjacent word line may be a word line with a similar word line number, or may be a word line disposed in an adjacent position in the physical space (even if the word line numbers are not similar). . In this embodiment, the third page is the 37th to the 44th page.
值得注意的是,於本發明之實施例中,第三分頁除了包括因突然斷電的發生而間接受影響導致記憶體狀態不穩定或儲存資料失真的分頁(例如,對應至鄰近此既定字元線之一或多條字元線之複數物理分頁),亦可包括未間接受影響的分頁(例如,並非對應至鄰近此既定字元線之一或多條字元線之複數物理分頁)。It should be noted that, in the embodiment of the present invention, the third page includes, in addition to the inclusion of the page due to the occurrence of a sudden power failure, causing the memory state to be unstable or the stored data to be distorted (for example, corresponding to the adjacent character). A plurality of physical pages of one or more of the word lines may also include pages that are not affected (eg, do not correspond to a plurality of physical pages adjacent to one or more of the defined word lines).
第4圖係顯示根據本發明之一實施例所述之一記憶體區塊的示意圖。如圖所示,3D MLC記憶體區塊可包含立體堆疊之多個平面(即,多層),各層可包含多個物理分頁。假設被斷電攻擊的既定分頁(第48頁)對應至字元線WL(n),則因斷電攻擊而間接受影響的分頁可包括物理空間的配置上是對應鄰近字元線的分頁。例如,對應至字元線WL(n)上方之字元線WL(m)之分頁,諸如第37、38分頁,以及對應至前一條字元線WL(n-1)之分頁,諸如第46分頁等,其中n與m為正整數。此外,由於記憶體之各分頁的編程必須是連續的(即,各分頁會依分頁編號連續被編程),因此,於本發明之實施例中,控制器110A/110B可決定捨棄自第37分頁至第44分頁之間的物理分頁(即使其中包含了其他未間接受影響的分頁,例如對應至字元線WL(n-2)之分頁)。Figure 4 is a schematic diagram showing a memory block in accordance with an embodiment of the present invention. As shown, the 3D MLC memory block can include multiple planes (ie, multiple layers) of a stereoscopic stack, and each layer can include multiple physical pages. Assuming that the predetermined page (page 48) of the power-off attack corresponds to the word line WL(n), the page that is affected by the power-off attack may include the configuration of the physical space that is the page corresponding to the adjacent word line. For example, a page corresponding to the word line WL(m) above the word line WL(n), such as page 37, 38, and a page corresponding to the previous word line WL(n-1), such as the 46th Pagination, etc., where n and m are positive integers. In addition, since the programming of each page of the memory must be continuous (ie, each page will be continuously programmed according to the page number), in the embodiment of the present invention, the controller 110A/110B may decide to discard from the 37th page. Physical page breaks between the 44th pages (even if there are other pages that are not affected, such as pages corresponding to the word line WL(n-2)).
根據本發明之一實施例,第三分頁的涵蓋範圍可以是製造記憶體裝置時就可得知的,或者可以是經由特定的計算或多次實驗而得知的。According to an embodiment of the present invention, the coverage of the third page may be known when the memory device is manufactured, or may be known through a specific calculation or a plurality of experiments.
根據本發明之一實施例,記憶體裝置120可儲存多個映射表格,例如,記憶體裝置120可至少包含一邏輯實體映射表格(第一映射表格),用以紀錄各邏輯分頁係分別指向記憶體裝置120中之哪個MLC區塊的哪個物理分頁。於本發明之實施例中,控制器110A/110B藉由清除第三分頁於邏輯實體映射表格中所記錄的物理區塊及物理分頁連結來捨棄第三分頁。例如,控制器110A/110B可將第三分頁於邏輯實體映射表格中所記錄的物理區塊及物理分頁連結(例如,物理區塊編號與物理分頁編號)改寫為0xFF,或其他預設值、無效值。換言之,當邏輯實體映射表格的連結被清除,對應之物理分頁所儲存之資料即為無效資料。According to an embodiment of the present invention, the memory device 120 can store a plurality of mapping tables. For example, the memory device 120 can include at least one logical entity mapping table (first mapping table) for recording each logical paging system to point to memory respectively. Which physical partition of which MLC block is in the body device 120. In an embodiment of the invention, the controller 110A/110B discards the third page by clearing the third page in the logical entity mapping table and the physical page link recorded in the logical entity mapping table. For example, the controller 110A/110B may rewrite the third physical page and the physical page link (for example, the physical block number and the physical page number) recorded in the logical entity mapping table to 0xFF, or other preset values, Invalid value. In other words, when the link of the logical entity mapping table is cleared, the data stored in the corresponding physical page is invalid data.
接著,控制器110A/110B可將MLC區塊中這些第三分頁的起始物理分頁的前一個物理分頁標註為存有最新(latest)且有效資料的物理分頁。例如,於此實施例中,存有最新資料的物理分頁為第36分頁。控制器110A/110B可將此物理分頁的分頁編號紀錄於一變數中,用以指出存有最新(latest)且有效資料的物理分頁為哪個分頁。若之後又遇到不預期斷電時,控制器110A/110B可以此存有最新(latest)且有效資料的物理分頁開始相關的處理。Next, the controller 110A/110B may mark the previous physical page of the starting physical page of these third pages in the MLC block as the physical page with the latest and valid data. For example, in this embodiment, the physical page in which the latest material is stored is the 36th page. The controller 110A/110B can record the page number of the physical page in a variable to indicate which page is the physical page with the latest and valid data. If an unexpected power outage is encountered later, the controller 110A/110B may have the latest and physical processing of the active material to begin the relevant processing.
接著,控制器110A/110B可找出其他與既定分頁間接相關之複數第二分頁,並且虛擬編程第二分頁。根據本發明之一實施例,與既定分頁間接相關的分頁係指會因突然斷電的發生而導致記憶體狀態不穩定的分頁。根據本發明之一實施例,假設既定分頁係對應至一既定字元線,則第二分頁可包括對應至鄰近此既定字元線之一或多條(或,一既定數量)字元線之複數物理分頁。根據本發明之一實施例,所述之鄰近字元線可以字元線編號相近的字元線,亦可以是物理空間中配置於鄰近的位置的字元線(即便字元線編號不相近)。於此實施例中,第二分頁為第49分頁至第56分頁。Controller 110A/110B can then find other complex second pages that are indirectly related to the intended page and virtual program the second page. According to an embodiment of the present invention, the page indirectly associated with a predetermined page refers to a page that is unstable due to the occurrence of a sudden power failure. According to an embodiment of the present invention, assuming that the predetermined page break corresponds to a predetermined word line, the second page may include one or more (or a predetermined number) of word lines corresponding to the adjacent word line. The plural physical page. According to an embodiment of the present invention, the adjacent word line may be a word line with a similar word line number, or may be a word line disposed in an adjacent position in the physical space (even if the word line numbers are not similar). . In this embodiment, the second page is the 49th to the 56th page.
如上述,於本發明之實施例中,第二分頁與第三分頁均為與此既定分頁間接相關之物理分頁,第二分頁與第三分頁之差異在於,第二分頁為尚未被編程過(尚未寫入資料)的分頁,而第三分頁為於記憶體裝置120被斷電攻擊前已被編程過(已被寫入資料)的分頁。As described above, in the embodiment of the present invention, the second page and the third page are both physical pages indirectly related to the predetermined page, and the difference between the second page and the third page is that the second page is not yet The paged has been programmed (data not yet written), and the third page is a page that has been programmed (written data) before the memory device 120 is powered off.
此外,值得注意的是,於本發明之實施例中,第二分頁除了包括因突然斷電的發生而間接受影響導致記憶體狀態不穩定的分頁(例如,對應至字元線WL(n)下方之字元線WL(k)之第55、56分頁、對應至後一條字元線WL(n+1)之第49、50分頁等,其中k為正整數),亦可包括未間接受影響的分頁(例如,並非對應至鄰近此既定字元線之一或多條字元線之複數物理分頁)。由於記憶體之各分頁的編程必須是連續的(即,各分頁會依分頁編號連續被編程),因此,於本發明之實施例中,控制器110A/110B可決定虛擬編程自第49分頁至第56分頁之間的物理分頁(即使其中包含了其他未間接受影響的分頁)。Moreover, it is worth noting that in an embodiment of the invention, the second page includes, in addition to the inclusion of a page that is unstable due to the occurrence of a sudden power outage (eg, corresponding to the word line WL(n). ) The 55th and 56th pages of the lower word line WL(k), the 49th and 50th pages corresponding to the next word line WL(n+1), etc., where k is a positive integer, may also include The page that accepts the impact (for example, does not correspond to a plurality of physical pages adjacent to one or more of the defined word lines). Since the programming of each page of the memory must be continuous (ie, each page will be continuously programmed according to the page number), in an embodiment of the invention, the controller 110A/110B may determine the virtual programming from the 49th page to Physical pagination between page 56 (even if it contains other pagination that is not affected).
根據本發明之一實施例,第二分頁的涵蓋範圍可以是製造記憶體裝置時就可得知的,或者可以是經由特定的計算或多次實驗而得知的。此外,根據本發明之一實施例,既定分頁與第一分頁通常位於同一平面,而第二分頁與第三分頁可與既定分頁位於同一平面或不同平面。然而,必須注意的是,本發明並不僅限於此實施方式。According to an embodiment of the present invention, the coverage of the second page may be known when the memory device is manufactured, or may be known through a specific calculation or a plurality of experiments. Moreover, in accordance with an embodiment of the present invention, a predetermined page and a first page are generally in the same plane, and the second page and the third page are in the same plane or different planes as the predetermined page. However, it must be noted that the present invention is not limited to this embodiment.
根據本發明之一實施例,控制器110A/110B可藉由寫入一虛擬資料、無效資料或一預定圖樣以虛擬編程第二分頁。當第二分頁被虛擬編程後,控制器110A/110B可將MLC區塊中第二分頁的結束物理分頁的次一物理分頁標註為第一個空白的物理分頁。例如,於此實施例中,第一個空白的物理分頁改為第57分頁。控制器110A/110B可將此物理分頁的分頁編號紀錄於一變數中,用以指出第一個空白的物理分頁為哪個分頁。待確定第一個空白的物理分頁後,控制器110A/110B可繼續SPO發生之前未完成的寫入操作,即,自第57分頁開始,將其他尚未完成寫入的資料自來源記憶體區塊搬移(寫入)至目的記憶體區塊。In accordance with an embodiment of the present invention, the controller 110A/110B can virtually program the second page by writing a virtual material, invalid material, or a predetermined pattern. After the second page is virtually programmed, the controller 110A/110B may mark the next physical page of the end physical page of the second page in the MLC block as the first blank physical page. For example, in this embodiment, the first blank physical page is changed to the 57th page. The controller 110A/110B can record the page number of the physical page in a variable to indicate which page of the first blank physical page. After the first blank physical page is determined, the controller 110A/110B may continue the write operation that was not completed before the SPO occurs, that is, from the 57th page, the other data that has not been written is from the source memory block. Move (write) to the destination memory block.
根據本發明之一實施例,控制器110A/110B可自來源記憶體區塊中尚未完成搬移的第一個物理頁面開始,繼續斷電攻擊前未完成的資料搬移,或者可自目前MLC區塊中存有最新資料的物理分頁(即,於本實施例中為第36分頁)所對應之來源記憶體區塊之物理頁面的次一頁面開始搬移,使得此目前MLC區塊(目的記憶體區塊)的第36分頁接續到第57分頁的資料為來源記憶體區塊中連續的資料。According to an embodiment of the present invention, the controller 110A/110B may start from the first physical page of the source memory block that has not completed the moving, and continue the data transfer that is not completed before the power failure attack, or may be from the current MLC block. The next page of the physical page of the source memory block corresponding to the physical page in which the latest data is stored (ie, the 36th page in this embodiment) starts to be moved, so that the current MLC block (the destination memory area) The data from the 36th page of the block to the 57th page is continuous data in the source memory block.
藉由上述資料處理方法,控制器110A/110B可快速找出被斷電攻擊的物理分頁,並且執行對應之資料處理,包含重新編程因斷電攻擊而直接受影響的N個分頁、虛擬編程因斷電攻擊而間接受影響的M個分頁,以及捨棄因斷電攻擊而間接受影響的R個分頁,其中N、M、R均為正整數,並且N、M、R可隨著記憶體裝置120的規格不同而對應被調整。此外,控制器110A/110B可進一步找到適當的物理分頁並繼續SPO發生之前未完成的寫入操作。不同於傳統設計,本發明所提出之資料處理方法不會放棄被斷電攻擊的MLC區塊。因此,本發明所提出之資料處理方法可有效避免傳統設計中記憶體區塊被抹除的次數增加、記憶體區塊的壽命被縮短,更可提高記憶體裝置120的運作效能。With the above data processing method, the controller 110A/110B can quickly find out the physical page of the power-off attack, and perform corresponding data processing, including reprogramming N pages, virtual programming factors directly affected by the power-off attack. M paging that affects the power-off attack, and discards R pages that are affected by the power-off attack, where N, M, and R are positive integers, and N, M, and R can follow the memory device The specifications of 120 are different and the corresponding adjustments are made. In addition, the controller 110A/110B can further find the appropriate physical page and continue the write operation that was not completed before the SPO occurred. Different from the traditional design, the data processing method proposed by the present invention does not abandon the MLC block that is attacked by power failure. Therefore, the data processing method proposed by the present invention can effectively avoid the increase of the number of times the memory block is erased in the conventional design, the life of the memory block is shortened, and the operation efficiency of the memory device 120 can be improved.
