Abstract: A method and apparatus for performing automatic power control in a memory device are provided. The method includes: during an initialization phase of the memory device, performing signal level detection on a reference clock request signal to determine whether the reference clock request signal is at a first predetermined voltage level or a second predetermined voltage level, for performing the automatic power control for the memory device, wherein the reference clock request signal is received through an IO pad; and according to a logic value carried by an input signal of a selective regulation circuit (SRC), performing selective power control to generate a secondary power voltage according to a main power voltage, wherein the selective power control makes the secondary power voltage be either equal to the main power voltage or a regulated voltage of the main power voltage in response to the logic value carried by the input signal.

Abstract: A method for performing error correction, an associated memory apparatus and an associated controller thereof are provided. The data used in a hard decoding period can be wholly or partially reserved, and the reserved data can be used in a soft decoding period. For example, a read operation is performed at a specific physical address of a flash memory; after an uncorrectable error of the read operation is detected, a re-read operation is performed at the specific physical address of the flash memory to obtain first data and temporarily store the first data into a volatile memory, and a hard decoding operation is performed on the first data; and after decoding failure of the hard decoding operation is detected, a soft decoding operation is performed according to the first data read from the volatile memory to perform error correction corresponding to the specific physical address.

Abstract: A method for providing an application cluster service (APCS) with fault-detection and failure-recovery capabilities. This method is composed of the steps of nodes clustering, invoking and detecting applications, fault-recovery of applications, detection of nodes, and node replacement. This method is applicable in a clustered environment to detect if a slave node is failed by sending a heartbeat periodically from a master node; and to detect if the master node still exists by checking if the master node stops sending the heartbeat (i.e. the master node may be failed).
