  • Patent number: 9390000
    Abstract: A memory device includes a substrate, a plurality of nonvolatile memory chips disposed on the substrate, and a memory controller disposed on the substrate. The memory chips may be disposed on the same side or the opposite side of the substrate as the memory controller. The memory controller controls each of the nonvolatile memory chips based on a firmware, where the firmware is written in a nonvolatile memory chip positioned at a location farthest from the memory controller. A write system may perform writing using a binary or single level cell (SLC) recording system in memory chips located closest to the memory controller and a multi-value or multi-level cell (MLC) recording system in memory chips located farthest from the memory controller. A weighting factor may be assigned for each of the nonvolatile memory chips based on the distance from the memory controller.
