Patent number: 11899976Abstract: A solid state storage device includes a control circuit, a volatile memory and a non-volatile memory. The non-volatile memory is divided into a first area and a second area. After the host issues a write command and a write data, the control circuit monitors a data amount of the write data continuously stored into the non-volatile memory. Before the data amount of the write data continuously stored into the non-volatile memory reaches a predetermined amount, the write data is stored into plural buffering blocks of the first area in a first write mode. After the data amount of the write data continuously stored into the non-volatile memory reaches the predetermined amount, the write data is stored into plural storing blocks of the second area in a second write mode.Type: GrantFiled: February 23, 2022Date of Patent: February 13, 2024Assignee: SOLID STATE STORAGE TECHNOLOGY CORPORATIONInventors: Liang-You Lin, Yu-Chuan Peng, Ya-Ping Pan, Po-Yen Chen

Patent number: 11487429Abstract: A FTL table processing method for a solid state drive is provided. When the control circuit intends to perform the backup action on a FTL table, the control circuit calculates the size of a remaining space of a used block. Then, the control circuit judges whether the complete content of the FTL table is required to be backed up to the blank block. If the size of the remaining space of the used block is enough, the control circuit backs up the amended contents of the FTL table and a content changed table to the remaining space of the used block. Whereas, if the size of the remaining space of the used block is not enough, the control circuit backs up the complete content of the FTL table to a plurality of blank blocks.Type: GrantFiled: May 17, 2021Date of Patent: November 1, 2022Assignee: SOLID STATE STORAGE TECHNOLOGY CORPORATIONInventors: Liang-You Lin, Ho-An Lin, Chun-Ju Chiu

Patent number: 10055143Abstract: A data programming method for a solid state drive is provided. The solid state drive has a flash memory with plural blocks. If a garbage collection is determined to be performed, a first open block is selected from the plural blocks of the flash memory for storing a moved valid data corresponding to the garbage collection. Then, the moved valid data corresponding to the garbage collection is programmed into the first open block. A second open block is selected from the plural blocks of the flash memory for storing a write data from a host.Type: GrantFiled: April 14, 2016Date of Patent: August 21, 2018Assignees: LITE-ON ELECTRONICS (GUANGZHOU) LIMITED, LITE-ON TECHNOLOGY CORPORATIONInventors: Min-I Hung, Liang-You Lin, Yu-Chuang Peng, Ya-Ping Pan

Patent number: 9857983Abstract: A flash translation layer table rebuilding method for a solid state drive is provided. The solid state drive includes a non-volatile memory and a buffering circuit. Firstly, a flash translation layer table is loaded from the non-volatile memory to the buffering circuit. In case that an abnormal shutdown event occurs, plural blocks of the non-volatile memory to be read are determined according to a specified block programming serial number of the flash translation layer table. Then, a read sequence of reading the plural blocks is determined according to a block programming serial number or an auxiliary serial number corresponding to the block. The contents of the blocks are read according to the read sequence. A mapping relationship between plural physical allocation addresses and plural logical block addresses of the flash translation layer table is updated.Type: GrantFiled: May 5, 2016Date of Patent: January 2, 2018Assignees: LITE-ON ELECTRONICS (GUANGZHOU) LIMITED, LITE-ON TECHNOLOGY CORPORATIONInventors: Liang-You Lin, Yu-Chuang Peng, Ya-Ping Pan, Ho-An Lin
