Abstract: A solenoid drive device includes a first solenoid drive circuit, a second solenoid drive circuit, a selection circuit, and circuitry. The circuitry controls the first switching element and the second switching element with a duty control in a control cycle according to acquired values of the first drive current and the second drive current so that a first on/off switching direction of the first switching element at a start timing of the control cycle is opposite to a second on/off switching direction of the second switching element at the start timing. The circuitry determines whether a failure in at least one of the selector, the first solenoid drive circuit, and the second solenoid drive circuit occurs based on a change in the selection detection signal in a period during which an on/off state of the first switching element is different form an on/off state of the second switching element.

Abstract: A recording device includes a plurality of storage modules and a recording controller. With respect to a writing request, the recording controller generates parity data and writes data in the respective plurality of modules by dividing the data. When an error is detected with respect to a reading request, data of the error is restored from data and the parity data read from other recording modules. With respect to an initialization request of the storage module, the storage module to be initialized is specified from the plurality of storage modules, and an address conversion table is initialized. Moreover, identification information for identifying the initialized storage module is held. With respect to a request for cancelling the table initialization request of the storage module, reading of data from the storage module corresponding to the held identification information is processed as an error.

Abstract: Included are a flash memory onto which user data and parity data are recorded, an external interface unit which receives a first write command for instructing recording of the user data onto the flash memory, and a block managing unit which manages management information indicating whether parity data is valid or invalid. When the user data related to the first write command received through the external interface unit is recorded onto the flash memory 18, the block managing unit updates the management information so as to indicate that the parity data corresponding to the user data is invalid.

Abstract: A command analyzer 160 determines whether or not a first write command after power-on is issued. A new block reserve determinator 170 determines that a new physical block is reserved, in a case where the command analyzer 160 determines that first writing command after power-on is issued and the physical block corresponding to a logical address at which a host device requests transmit is in a written state. At this time, the semiconductor memory device writes data to the new physical block. Thereby, data written before power disconnection does not been destroyed.

Abstract: A host device 200A includes a data buffer 250. When data has been already written to a part of a physical block and data is additionally written to the physical block, it is determined whether or not the data written to the physical block is held in the data buffer. When the data is held, data is written to the block, and when an error exists, data in unit of physical blocks is rewritten. When the data is not held in the data buffer, a new physical block is required to be secured and then, data is written to the new block. Thereby, even when power is shut off or an error occurs during writing in the semiconductor memory device, destruction of data already written is prevented.
