New Description: [New Technology Field] This new type is about a smart power-saving and fault-tolerant memory module, especially for a smart power-saving function with power saving and fault tolerance. Memory module. [Prior Art] Due to the advancement of technology and the technology of semiconductors have entered the process of nanotechnology, the volume of electronic products, especially portable digital devices, is getting smaller and smaller, which is more in line with the user's convenient surface requirements. The requirements for power consumption are also being taken seriously. In particular, portable digital devices, such as notebook computers, PDAs, FPGAs, DSPs, and ARM-10s, 11 are mostly used as a source of power for portable digital devices when they are used for out-of-home use. : The circuit or device in the portable digital device consumes the power of the battery. In particular, the capacity of the portable digital device is increasing. For example, there is a bit capacity of the bite device. There is access to all or part of the memory space of the memory, and the entire memory is constantly consuming power. Such behavior will quickly shorten the power consumption of the portable digital device. In some cases, the coffee will cause the part of the cake to be ruined. If you access or store the money, you will be able to touch the clock. If you touch the material, you will find it.

[New content] The purpose of this new model is to provide a smart power-saving and fault-tolerant memory module design, which has the function of controlling the reading and body work. However, only the memory block in the work consumes battery power, and other memory blocks that are not working do not consume battery power, so that power saving can be achieved. The purpose is to provide a smart power-saving and fault-tolerant memory module, _纟 has a fault-tolerant Wei' and can mark the late _memory (four), so that the portable digital device does not carry data on the faulty memory space. Access, therefore, without having to replace the memory module, The utility model can save the cost of updating the device. The invention provides a smart power-saving and fault-tolerant memory module, which has a memory and a control port, so that the CPU can access the memory, the controller Connected between the CPU and the memory, the controller controls the size of the working memory block of the memory according to the address command of the CPU, and further includes a backup memory. The controller can mark the space that cannot be used by the memory fault, and switch to the backup memory, so that the CPU does not access the space where the fault cannot be used, and the overall available memory space is still the same. [Embodiment] A preferred embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Fig. 1 is a block diagram of a system for a smart power-saving and fault-tolerant memory module applied to a portable digital device. The power-saving and fault-tolerant memory module 24 mainly includes a controller 16 and a memory 14 that can receive the address signal of the CPu 12 according to the memory range currently used by the CPU. Setting Recall the 0N or 0FF of the block. For example, the CPU has used the memory blocks B1, B2, and B3, so the controller controls the power of the three blocks to be set to 〇N, which can be saved normally. However, other memory blocks are similar, 85,864738 is not used, so the controller can control the power of these five memory blocks, set it to 〇FF, to achieve power saving effect. In Figure 1 The portable digital device 10 has a CPU 12, a memory 14 and a controller 16'. The memory 14 can be a DRAM, a SDRAM, a DDRAM, a DDRn, a DDRIE, or a higher-order memory. Controller 16 can be a separate device or built into memory 14. The CPU 12 accesses the memory 14 by means of a data bus 18, and the CPU 12 selects the address and space size of the memory 14 by the address bus 20, and the controller 16 borrows two. The address bus 20 and a control line 22 are coupled between the CPU 12 and the memory 14. Similarly, if the capacity of the memory 14 is 500 Mbits, when the CPU 12 needs less than 10 Mbytes of memory space to access the data, the controller 16 obtains the information according to the location bus 2 The controller 16 controls the memory 14 by the control line 22 to have a memory block of about iM bits operating in an active state, and the working state memory block in this operation consumes power. Without being controlled by the controller 16, the operating state memory block does not consume power; if the CPU 12 requires another memory space to access the data, the controller 16 controls another memory in the memory 14. The block is operated in a working state, so that the CPU 12 has enough memory space to access the data. Thus, the size of the working memory block of the memory 14 is controlled by the controller 16, and when the memory block is used, it is switched to 0N if the memory block is not M286985 p615-003.doc If used, it is set to GFF, and the copper portable digital device (4) can save power. If a part of the memory 14 is faulty and cannot be used, the controller 16 marks the space of the memory, so that the coffee 12 does not access the data of the faulty face space. In the method known in the general art field, the GPU can be switched to the backup memory 26 into the (four) material access, so that the portable device can be fault-tolerant. The total memory space is unchanged. The advantage of the novel is that the controller has the size of the working memory block for controlling the memory, and only the working memory block consumes power, and the rest of the memory block does not consume power. In order to achieve the purpose of power saving; in addition, the controller has a fault-tolerant function, and can be used for the memory 妓 _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ You don't need to be able to save the cost of the equipment. The technology disclosed in this case has been implemented by the technical practitioners. For the external shape and structure of the case, the 仍 is still the torn material of the material; _ the various changes considered by the case (4) are not out of this case. The _π _ the above-mentioned real side is not enough to cover the patent scope of this case protection. Therefore, the scope of the patent application is attached.
