  • Patent number: 6725291
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a detection method used in a memory card adaptor and, more particularly, to a detection method used in an adaptor capable of inserting various kinds of memory cards. The present invention comprises mainly the steps of: a control device on an adaptor issuing an identification command to detect a memory card responsive to the identification command, and the control device issuing again a reset command to detect a reset-type memory card if there is no corresponding response; the control device continually awaiting a response signal if there is still no corresponding response; the control device entering a read/write mode corresponding to the memory card if a corresponding response is obtained after issuing the command; and the control device awaiting a read/write command of said master device. The present invention can effectively enhance detection and identification efficiency without the need of adding a hardware switching device.

  • Patent number: 6718406
    Abstract: A memory array apparatus with shorter data accessing time is proposed. The memory array apparatus comprises a register administrator and a plurality of data registers between a micro controller and at least one memory array. The data to be accessed are divided into a plurality of data blocks according to a predetermined data unit. The data block is firstly stored in corresponding data register and then read by the main frame or stored into the corresponding memory array. At the same time, the next data block is stored in the corresponding data register through circuit switched by the micro controller. The pending time of the main frame and the data accessing time can be advantageously reduced.

  • Patent number: 6711663
    Abstract: The present invention relates to an algorithm of flash memory capable of quickly building a mapping table and preventing disorder of data due to abnormal disconnection and a control system thereof, wherein pages of a physical block store data of the mapping table of logical block addresses and corresponding physical block addresses. A set of ECC data are used for protection. When the host computer is normally turned on, data of the mapping table are directly stored into a buffer so that the control device can read. The system can quickly build the mapping table to save the time and operation of turning on without the need of a scanning procedure. If an error of the mapping table due to improper operation occurs, the previous mapping table can be retraced to restore the system to the normal state.

  • Patent number: 6704852
    Abstract: The present invention proposes a control device compatible to Smart Media cards, Memory Stick cards, and NAND-gate type flash memories and applicable to various kinds of capacities and a method for fabricating same. After the control device is turned on and scans physical block addresses of each data block of a memory card one by one, it will partition the memory card into a plurality of segments according to the capacity of a segment lookup table therein. A FAT accessory lookup table in the control device is matched and used for lookup of logical addresses of the FAT. When a host computer is to access a file, the segment lookup table can be used for lookup of data in the segment, and the FAT accessory lookup table will match the operation system to quick find the physical block address when the FAT is accessed. The control device can be compatible to flash memory cards of various kinds of capacities, and the required size of the size of total lookup tables built in RAM can be effectively controlled.

  • Publication number: 20030056141
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a flash memory and, more particularly, to an and-gate type flash memory, wherein a plurality of data storage units are provided, each of the data storage units is partitioned into a plurality of sectors, and an ECC data directly abuts behind each of the sectors to store the ECC of the sector, thereby shortening the access time of data when the data storage unit is not filled. At least a dynamic spare storage unit not detectable by a mainframe is provided in the data storage unit. When a sector of a flash memory is damaged, a control device is used to store the data in the damaged storage unit into the dynamic spare storage unit, thereby decreasing the number of damaged storage units detectable by the mainframe to relatively lengthen the lifetime of use of the flash memory.
