摘要： A method and apparatus are disclosed for increasing the system performance of a digital system having a controller for controlling nonvolatile devices for storing blocks of information, each block having a group of sectors. When sectors within a block are being rewritten in sequential order, the controller writes the new sector information into a sector location of another block without the need to move any of the sectors within the original block thereby reducing the number of read and write cycles needed to avoid erase-before-write operations. A "moved" flag (1042), stored in the sector location of each block, indicates that the sector has been transferred to another block or, alternatively, a move locator word (170) maintains status information regarding the position of the sectors within the blocks that have been moved.
摘要翻译：公开了一种用于增加具有用于控制存储信息块的非易失性设备的控制器的数字系统的系统性能的方法和设备，每个块具有一组扇区。当一个块内的扇区按顺序重写时，控制器将新扇区信息写入另一个块的扇区位置，而不需要移动原始块内的任何扇区，从而减少了需要的读取和写入周期数避免写前擦除操作。存储在每个块的扇区位置中的“移动”标志（1042）指示该扇区已经被转移到另一个块，或者移动定位器字（170）保持关于扇区内的扇区位置的状态信息已移动的块。

摘要： An improved compact flash memory card system includes an improved compact flash memory card desktop adapter and an improved compact flash memory card. The improved compact flash memory card desktop adapter utilizes a fifty pin socket to interface with the compact flash memory card. The desktop adapter also utilizes a plug adapter to interface with a computer. For more efficient communication between the improved compact flash memory card and the computer, the improved desktop adapter adopts the universal serial bus architecture. The improved compact flash memory card utilizes a fifty pin connection to interface with a computer through an interface device. The fifty pin connection of the flash memory card can be used with different interface devices in a variety of configurations such as a universal serial bus mode, PCMCIA mode, and ATA IDE mode. Each of these modes of operation require different protocols. Upon initialization with an interface device, this improved compact flash memory card automatically detects which operation mode is used by this interface device and configures the memory card to be compatible with the present operation mode. Because all fifty pins of the flash memory card are occupied to either transfer data or provide control signals to and from the flash memory card, this improved flash memory card merely senses selected pins to determine the present mode of operation.
摘要翻译：改进的紧凑型闪存卡系统包括改进的紧凑型闪存卡桌面适配器和改进的紧凑型闪存卡。改进的紧凑型闪存卡桌面适配器使用五十针插座与紧凑型闪存卡进行接口。桌面适配器还使用插头适配器与计算机进行接口。改进的紧凑型闪存卡和计算机之间的通信更为有效，改进的桌面适配器采用通用串行总线架构。改进的紧凑型闪存卡利用五十针连接通过接口设备与计算机接口。闪存卡的五十针连接可以在各种配置中使用，例如通用串行总线模式，PCMCIA模式和ATA IDE模式。这些操作模式中的每一种都需要不同的协议。在使用接口设备初始化时，该改进的紧凑型闪存卡自动检测该接口设备使用哪种操作模式，并将存储卡配置为与当前操作模式兼容。因为闪存卡的所有五十个引脚都被占用以传输数据或向闪存卡提供控制信号，所以改进的闪存卡仅仅感测所选择的引脚以确定当前的操作模式。

摘要： The present invention includes a digital system having a controller semiconductor device coupled to a host and a nonvolatile memory bank including a plurality of nonvolatile memory devices. The controller transfers information, organized in sectors, with each sector including a user data portion and an overhead portion, between the host and the nonvolatile memory bank and stores and reads two bytes of information relating to the same sector simultaneously within two nonvolatile memory devices. Each nonvolatile memory device is defined by a row of memory locations wherein corresponding rows of at least two semiconductor devices maintain two sectors of information therein with the overhead information relating to the two sectors maintained in one of the memory rows of the nonvolatile memory device. Each 32 sectors of information defines a block identified by a virtual physical block address with a block of information expanding between two memory devices wherein an even and an odd byte of a sector is simultaneously read from or written to two nonvolatile memory devices. In another embodiment, the controller stores an entire sector of information within a single nonvolatile memory device and reads from or writes to, a sector of information by processing corresponding bytes of at least two sectors in two nonvolatile memory devices simultaneously.
