  • Publication number: 20250199694
    Abstract: A storage controller included in a storage device, the storage controller including an interrupt circuit that detects a sudden power off (SPO) with respect to the storage device, and issues a SPO notification and an emergency flush request; a central processing unit that receives the SPO notification and issues a program request; and a volatile memory device including a plurality of memory areas. A first non-volatile memory (NVM) interfacing circuit of the storage device programs data stored in a first memory area from among the plurality of memory areas to an external first non-volatile memory device in response to receiving the program request, and programs data stored in a second memory from area among the plurality of memory areas to the first non-volatile memory device in response to receiving the emergency flush request.

  • Patent number: 9847122
    Abstract: A program method of a multi-bit memory device is provided. First page data is programmed in a first region of a memory cell array. The first page data is stored in a first buffer of a page buffer. Second page data is programmed in the first region of the memory cell array. The second page data is stored in a third buffer of the page buffer. Third page data is stored in the first region of the memory cell array. The second page data stored in the third buffer is transferred to a second buffer of the page buffer and the third page data is stored in the third buffer. The first to third page data stored in page buffer are programmed in a second region of the memory cell array.
