Patent number: 9685220Abstract: There are provided a DDR controller, a method for implementing the same and a chip, which are applicable to the field of DDR controller technology. The method includes the steps of: parsing a plurality of buffered commands concurrently (S501); prejudging relationships between a bank and a row of an address to be accessed by each parsed command and a bank and a row of an address for a currently executed command; and transmitting a PRECHARGE command and an ACTIVE command in advance. With the above technical solution, the PRECHARGE command and ACTIVE command which should have been transmitted serially can be transmitted in advance by being hidden in parallel in a Read or WRITE period to thereby make full use of a bandwidth of a DDR device.Type: GrantFiled: July 25, 2011Date of Patent: June 20, 2017Assignee: ARTEK Microelectronics Co., Ltd.Inventor: Hongbin Wang

Patent number: 9047186Abstract: An allocation method comprises: partitioning moderate memory into a plurality of physical memory pages having predetermined page size according to the predetermined page size; scanning the moderate memory using the predetermined page size and recording the physical address and damage degree of each physical memory page; obtaining the allocation information of the physical memory pages when a memory request is received and allocating physical memory to the request based on the recorded physical address and damage degree of each physical memory page and the obtained allocation information. A moderate memory is scanned and the physical address and damage degree of each physical memory page are recorded, then the physical memory is allocated based on the recorded physical address and damage degree of each physical memory page and the obtained allocation information.Type: GrantFiled: December 30, 2011Date of Patent: June 2, 2015Assignee: ARTEK MICROELECTRONICS CO., LTD.Inventors: Qinghua Fan, He Huang, Guoping Li

Patent number: 8234541Abstract: A method for controlling access to data in a Flash is provided, including steps as follows: outputting at least one main data block to a buffer area of the Flash continuously, the buffer area of the Flash being adapted to buffer data to be inputted to a storage area of the Flash; generating and buffering checksum data for each main data block while outputting the at least one main data block; and outputting the buffered checksum data of the at least one main data block to the buffer area of the Flash. Another method for controlling access to data in the Flash, apparatuses corresponding to the methods and methods for controlling data access by a controller are also provided. The efficiency of data access in the Flash is raised.Type: GrantFiled: December 23, 2009Date of Patent: July 31, 2012Assignee: Artek Microelectronics Co., Ltd.Inventor: Jiangxun Tang
