  • Patent number: 9858000
    Abstract: A sustained status accelerating method for a storage device includes: controlling the storage device to receive a sustained status command from the outside; and controlling the storage device to enter the sustained status using a sustained valid page count (SVPC) table in response to the sustained status command so that each of a plurality of blocks constituting the storage device has a value greater than a predetermined valid page count. The SVPC table includes a valid page count with respect to each of the blocks in the storage device.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: December 22, 2015
    Date of Patent: January 2, 2018
    Assignee: SAMSUNG ELECTRONICS CO., LTD.

  • Patent number: 9208076
    Abstract: A data storing method of a nonvolatile storage device that includes a plurality of nonvolatile memory devices electrically connected to a plurality of channels is provided. The data storing method includes allocating part of write data provided from a host to the nonvolatile memory devices to each channel; determining whether at least one channel among the channels is present that is connected to a nonvolatile memory device in a last page offset state; and when the at least one channel is determined to be present, scheduling erase commands on the plurality of channels, scheduling write commands on the plurality of channels with respect to the allocated write data, and executing the erase commands and the write commands on the plurality of channels.

  • Publication number: 20140325122
    Abstract: An operating method of a memory controller that controls a nonvolatile memory device is provided. A command is received from an external device. Whether the nonvolatile memory device is in a temperature control mode is determined. When the nonvolatile memory device is in the temperature control mode, the received command is delayed for a predetermined time until the received command is outputted to the nonvolatile memory device. When the nonvolatile memory device is in the temperature control mode, the nonvolatile memory device is in an idle state.
