  • Memory storage device, memory controller thereof, and method for programming data thereof
    Patent number: 9213597
    Abstract: A memory storage device, a memory controller thereof, and a method for programming data thereof are provided. The memory storage device having an error checking and correcting (ECC) circuit and a rewritable non-volatile memory chip is coupled to a host system. The method includes determining whether write data to be written into the rewritable non-volatile memory chip belongs to a specific type. The method also includes generating at least one first type ECC code with a first length by the ECC circuit according to the write data if the write data belongs to the specific type. The method further includes generating at least one second type ECC code with a second length by the ECC circuit according to the write data if the write data does not belong to the specific type. In which, the first length is longer than the second length.
