摘要： A program operation in a non-volatile memory is segmented at predefined junctures into smaller segments for execution over different times. The predefined junctures are such that they allow unambiguous identification when restarting the operation in a next segment so that the operation can continue without having to restart from the very beginning of the operation. This is accomplished by requiring the programming sequence of each segment to be atomic, that is, to only terminate at a predetermined type of programming step. In a next segment, the terminating programming step is identified by detecting a predetermined pattern of ECC errors across a group of programmed wordlines.

摘要： A portion of a nonvolatile memory is partitioned from a main multi-level memory array to operate as a cache. The cache memory is configured to store at less capacity per memory cell and finer granularity of write units compared to the main memory. In a block-oriented memory architecture, the cache has multiple functions, not merely to improve access speed, but is an integral part of a sequential update block system. Decisions to archive data from the cache memory to the main memory depend on the attributes of the data to be archived, the state of the blocks in the main memory portion and the state of the blocks in the cache portion.

摘要： Techniques for the management of spare blocks in re-programmable non-volatile memory system, such as a flash EEPROM system, are presented. In one set of techniques, for a memory partitioned into two sections (for example a binary section and a multi-state section), where blocks of one section are more prone to error, spare blocks can be transferred from the more error prone partition to the less error prone partition. In another set of techniques for a memory partitioned into two sections, blocks which fail in the more error prone partition are transferred to serve as spare blocks in the other partition. In a complementary set of techniques, a 1-bit time stamp is maintained for free blocks to determine whether the block has been written recently. Other techniques allow for spare blocks to be managed by way of a logical to physical conversion table by assigning them logical addresses that exceed the logical address space of which a host is aware.

摘要： In a memory system with a file storage system, a scheme for allocating memory locations for a write operation is to write the files substantially contiguously in a memory block one after another rather than to start a new file in a new block. In this way, they are more efficiently packed into the blocks by being written contiguously one after another. In a preferred embodiment, an incrementing write pointer points to the write location in memory for the next data for a file, which is independent of the offset address of the data within the file. When a current write block becomes filled with file data, an erased block is allocated, and the write pointer is moved to this block. Similarly a relocation pointer is used for data relocation during garbage collection or data compaction operations.
摘要翻译：在具有文件存储系统的存储器系统中，用于分配用于写入操作的存储器位置的方案是将文件基本上连续地写入存储器块中，而不是在新的块中开始新的文件。以这种方式，它们通过一个接一个的连续写入，更有效地打包到块中。在优选实施例中，递增写指针指向用于文件的下一数据的存储器中的写入位置，该文件与文件内的数据的偏移地址无关。当当前的写入块被填满文件数据时，分配一个擦除的块，并将写指针移动到该块。类似地，在垃圾收集或数据压缩操作期间，重定位指针用于数据重定位。

摘要： A memory system is presented where sectors are normally stored in logically contiguous groups. As repeated writes of the same small sector group can causes a massive garbage collection (data relocation), the pattern of host access is monitored by checking the sectors' update history and control data structures' update history. When repeated access patterns are detected and then expected again, the “hot” segments are separated into specially handled, non-standard zone in the memory. The non-standard zone has a sector management that is different from the logical groups and optimized for the repeated host accesses in order to reduce the frequency and amount of garbage collection operations.

摘要： A non-volatile memory is constituted from a set of memory planes, each having its own set of read/write circuits so that the memory planes can operate in parallel. The memory is further organized into erasable blocks, each for storing a logical group of logical units of data. In updating a logical unit, all versions of a logical unit are maintained in the same plane as the original. Preferably, all versions of a logical unit are aligned within a plane so that they are all serviced by the same set of sensing circuits. In a subsequent garbage collection operation, the latest version of the logical unit need not be retrieved from a different plane or a different set of sensing circuits, otherwise resulting in reduced performance. In one embodiment, any gaps left after alignment are padded by copying latest versions of logical units in sequential order thereto.
摘要翻译：非易失性存储器由一组存储器平面构成，每个存储器平面具有其自己的一组读/写电路，使得存储器平面可以并行操作。存储器被进一步组织成可擦除块，每个块用于存储数据的逻辑单元的逻辑组。在更新逻辑单元时，逻辑单元的所有版本都保持在与原始单元相同的平面中。优选地，逻辑单元的所有版本在平面内对准，使得它们都由相同的一组感测电路服务。在随后的垃圾回收操作中，不需要从不同的平面或不同的感测电路组检索最新版本的逻辑单元，否则导致性能降低。在一个实施例中，通过按照顺序复制最新版本的逻辑单元来填补对齐之后留下的任何间隙。

摘要： In a memory that is programmable page by page and each page having multiple sectors that are once-programmable, even if successive writes are sequential, the data recorded to an update block may be fragmented and non-sequential. Instead of recording update data to an update block, the data is being recorded in at least two interleaving streams. When a full page of data is available, it is recorded to the update block. Otherwise, it is temporarily recorded to the scratch pad block until a full page of data becomes available to be transferred to the update block. Preferably, a pipeline operation allows the recording to the update block to be set up as soon as the host write command indicates a full page could be written. If the actual write data is incomplete due to interruptions, the setup will be canceled and recording is made to the scratch pad block instead.
摘要翻译：在逐页可编程的存储器中，每页具有一次可编程的多个扇区，即使连续的写入是顺序的，记录到更新块的数据可能是分段的和非顺序的。代替将更新数据记录到更新块，数据被记录在至少两个交错流中。当全页数据可用时，它被记录到更新块。否则，它暂时记录到便笺块块中，直到完整页面的数据可用于传送到更新块。优选地，管道操作允许一旦主机写入命令指示可以写入完整页面就可以对更新块进行记录。如果实际的写入数据由于中断而不完整，则设置将被取消，而代之以记录。
