  • Patent number: 11086636
    Abstract: A data storage device waking up from a sleep mode rapidly is disclosed. The data storage device uses a controller to operate a non-volatile memory. The controller has a microprocessor and a volatile memory. The microprocessor loads boot code from the non-volatile memory to a not-always-on area of the volatile memory according to a script loaded on an always-on area of the volatile memory. The microprocessor executes the boot code loaded on the not-always-on area to load an in-system program from the non-volatile memory to the not-always-on area for execution of the in-system program. The script loaded on the always-on area is loaded from the non-volatile memory, and the non-volatile memory is searched to load the script to the always-on area in response to powering on a data storage device containing the non-volatile memory from a power-off state.

  • Patent number: 10776280
    Abstract: A data storage device is provided. The data storage includes: a flash memory, a dynamic random access memory (DRAM), and a memory controller. The flash memory stores a logical-to-physical mapping (L2P) table that is divided into a plurality of group-mapping (G2P) tables, and includes a first logical unit number (LUN) and a second LUN that are respectively controlled by a first chip enable (CE) signal and a second CE signal. The memory controller receives a write command from a host, and forms super page data using logical pages of data in the write command. The memory controller reads one of the group-mapping tables from the first LUN or the second LUN to the DRAM after sequentially enabling the first CE signal and second CE signal to write a first portion and a second portion of the super page data to the first LUN and the second LUN.

  • Patent number: 8486284
    Abstract: A method for forming a touch sensing pattern and signal wires, comprises the steps of: installing a first and a second conductive plating films on a surface of a highly transparency substrate; projecting a high energy light beam to the conductive plating films; and the high energy light beam moving with respect to the substrate along a predetermined track; a plurality of insulating trenches being formed in the first and second conductive plating films so as to form predetermined patterns for a sensing area and a wire area; a yellow light process being performed on the substrate; a layer of light resistor thin film being formed on a surfaces of the wire area; and etching the first conductive plating film in the sensing area; by above steps, the predetermined pattern in the sensing area being formed in the second conductive plating film.
