NAND flash controlling
By Francis Pelletier | February 11, 2021 at 1:15 pmATP Electronics Taiwan Inc., Taipei, Taiwan, has been assigned a patent (10,885,948) developed by Liu, Jyun-Nan, Ho, Chih-Wei, and Lin, Hung-Tse, Taipei, Taiwan, for “NAND flash controlling system and method thereof.“
The abstract of the patent published by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office states: ”A NAND flash controlling method includes the steps of: configuring a temperature-sensing unit to detect the flash temperatures and a source block to store source data, configuring a main control unit to receive the flash temperatures for calculating a temperature difference, to generate a data-transmitting signal if the current temperature is abnormal and the temperature difference is too large, configuring a control unit to read and transmit the source data, configuring a data-buffering unit to receive and store the source data, configuring an error-correcting unit to receive a source error-correcting code and a source bit-error rate to re-calculate an updated error-correcting code, configuring a flash-buffering unit to receive the updated error-correcting code and the source data, and, configuring the control unit to utilize the updated error-correcting code to write the source data into the destination block from the flash-buffering unit. In addition, a NAND flash controlling system is also provided.”
The patent application was filed on January 28, 2020 (16/774,622).
