Patent number: 11967369Abstract: A flash controller for managing at least one MLC non-volatile memory module and at least one SLC non-volatile memory module. The flash controller is adapted to determine if a range of addresses listed by an entry and mapped to said at least one MLC nonvolatile memory module fails a data integrity test. In the event of such a failure, the controller remaps said entry to an equivalent range of addresses of said at least one SLC non-volatile memory module. The flash controller is further adapted to determine which of the blocks in the MIX and SLC nonvolatile memory modules are accessed most frequently and allocating those blocks that receive frequent writes to the SLC non-volatile memory module and those blocks that receive infrequent writes to the MLC non-volatile memory module.Type: GrantFiled: November 7, 2023Date of Patent: April 23, 2024Assignee: Vervain, LLCInventor: G.

Patent number: 11967370Abstract: A controller for managing at least one MLC non-volatile memory space including at least one MLC non-volatile memory element and at least one SLC non-volatile memory space including at least one SLC non-volatile memory element. The controller is adapted to determine if a range of addresses listed by an entry and mapped to the at least one MLC non-volatile memory element fails a data integrity test performed at the controller based upon received data retained at the controller and which received data is stored in the at least one MLC memory element as stored data. In the event of such a failure, the controller remaps said entry to an the at least one SLC non-volatile memory element.Type: GrantFiled: December 20, 2023Date of Patent: April 23, 2024Assignee: Vervain, LLCInventor: G.

Publication number: 20240013832Abstract: A method for storing data comprises maintaining an address table for a memory space containing volatile memory and nonvolatile memory space. The nonvolatile memory space includes both multi-level cell (MLC) space and single level cell (SLC) space and the volatile memory includes a random access volatile memory element. An address table maps logical and physical addresses adaptable to the system by the address table. The mapping is performed as necessitated by the system to maximize lifetime maps data in at least one of volatile or nonvolatile memories. Storing received data within a controller memory associated with the at least one controller. Controlling access of the MLC and SLC nonvolatile memory elements and the random access volatile memory element for storage of the received data.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 26, 2023Publication date: January 11, 2024Applicant: Vervain, LLCInventor: G.R.
