Abstract: A voltage identification definition (VID) reference voltage generation circuit and a boot voltage generating method thereof are provided. In the boot voltage generating method, a VID reference voltage generation circuit is provided. The VID reference voltage generation circuit includes a preset voltage providing unit, a switch and a VID input signal detection unit. When the VID input signal detection unit detects no input of a VID signal, a control signal is generated to control the switch, such that the preset voltage providing unit provides an adjustable preset voltage.

Abstract: A method for Wear-Leveling includes: utilizing a comparison circuit to compare an average erase count with an erase count of a first data block; and utilizing a first free block as a replacement for storing data content of the first data block so as to make the first data block become a free block when the erase count of the first data block is smaller than the average erase count.

Abstract: A storage apparatus includes a first storage unit and at least a second storage unit. A method for accessing the storage apparatus generates a plurality of bad block lists regarding the plurality of the storage units, respectively, and according to at least one bad block indicated by a bad block list of the first storage unit, configures at least a good block in each second storage unit corresponding to the at least one bad block of the first storage unit as a replacement block of each second storage unit. Accordingly, the method generates a mapping result of each second storage unit according to a bad block list of the second storage unit and each replacement block, and accesses the storage apparatus according to the bad block list of the first storage unit and each mapping result.
