| 20100005229 | FLASH MEMORY APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR SECURING A FLASH MEMORY FROM DATA DAMAGE - A method for securing a flash memory from data damage is provided. After writing of data to a plurality of written pages of a first block of a flash memory is completed, a last weak page of the written pages is determined. A first strong page corresponding to the last weak page is then determined. A plurality of strong pages between the first strong page and the last weak page are then determined. Data of the plurality of strong pages is the coped to a backup area of the flash memory for data recovery. | 01-07-2010 |
| 20110153918 | DATA WRITING METHOD AND DATA STORAGE DEVICE - The invention provides a data writing method for a flash memory. First, a write command, a write address, and write data are received from a host. When a total number of block pairs in the flash memory is equal to a threshold value, and execution of the write command increases the total number of block pairs, the write data is written to a data buffer block of the flash memory, and the write address is stored in an address storage table. A target block pair comprising a target mother block and a target child block is then selected from the block pairs for integration. The target mother block and the target child block are integrated into an integrated block during receiving intervals of a plurality of subsequent write commands. Finally, the write command is executed according to the write data stored in the data buffer block and the write address stored in the address storage table. | 06-23-2011 |
| 20110179216 | Data Storage Device and Data Access Method - The invention provides a data access method for a flash memory. First, a write command, a write address, and target data are received from a host. A target block corresponding to the write address is then determined. Whether a storage space with the write address in the target block stores data is then determined. When the storage space does not store data, the target data is written to the storage space of the target block. When the storage space stores data, whether a file allocation table (FAT) block mapped to the target block exists in the flash memory is then determined. When the FAT block exists, the target data is written to the FAT block. When the FAT block does not exist, whether a child block mapped to the target block exists in the flash memory is determined. When the child block exists, the target data is written to the child block. | 07-21-2011 |
| 20110179217 | Flash Storage Device and Data Access Method of Flash Memory - The invention provides a data access method of a flash memory. First, a write command, a write address, and target data are received from a host. A target block corresponding to the write address is then determined from the flash memory. Whether a storage space corresponding to the write address in the target block has stored data therein is then determined When the storage space of the target block does not have stored data therein, the target data is written into the storage space of the target block. When the storage space of the target block does have stored data therein, whether a child block mapped to the target block exists in the flash memory is determined. When the child block exists in the flash memory, the target data is written into the child block. | 07-21-2011 |

In one embodiment, a controller corresponding to the memory comprises a ping-pong buffer. First, a first sector read time period required by the memory to read and output a data sector to the ping-pong buffer is calculated. A second sector read time period required by a host to read a data sector from the ping-pong buffer is calculated. A page switch time period required by the memory to switch a target read page is obtained. A total sector number is determined according to the first sector read time period, the second sector read time period, and the page switch time period. When the memory outputs data to the ping-pong buffer, a first buffer and a second buffer of the ping-pong buffer are switched to receive the data output by the memory according to the total sector number. | 07-21-2011 |

A first spare block with the earliest erase time index is then selected from the spare area. Whether an erase count of the first spare block is less than a first threshold is then determined When the erase count of the first spare block is less than the first threshold, the write data is written to the first spare block. Data is then erased from the first data block to convert the first data block to a spare block. | 10-20-2011 |
