  • Publication number: 20240126433
    Abstract: According to one embodiment, a memory system includes a non-volatile semiconductor memory, a block management unit, and a transcription unit. The semiconductor memory includes a plurality of blocks to which data can be written in both the first mode and the second mode. The block management unit manages a block that stores therein no valid data as a free block. When the number of free blocks managed by the block management unit is smaller than or equal to a predetermined threshold value, the transcription unit selects one or more used blocks that stores therein valid data as transcription source blocks and transcribes valid data stored in the transcription source blocks to free blocks in the second mode.

  • Patent number: 11935338
    Abstract: Generally, the current threshold value is set as a fixed value. Therefore, even in a case where an abnormality occurs in the load and the resistance value is small, when the power supply voltage applied to the load is low, the current value is also low, and falls below the threshold value, and there is a possibility that the overcurrent is not detected. In the present invention, by providing a second detection means that detects a load abnormality by calculating the resistance value of the load from information of the power supply voltage applied to the load, in addition to a first detection means that detects an overcurrent state that indicates the load abnormality using only current value information, it is possible to detect an overcurrent indicating an abnormality of the load even when the power supply voltage applied to the load is low.
