  • Publication number: 20250078897
    Abstract: A memory management method, a memory storage device and a memory control circuit unit are disclosed. The method includes: detecting a status of a rewritable non-volatile memory module; and determining whether to perform a data refresh operation on the rewritable non-volatile memory module according to a first condition and a second condition. The first condition is related to a first physical unit in the rewritable non-volatile memory module. The second condition is related to a plurality of second physical units in the rewritable non-volatile memory module. The data refresh operation is configured to update data in the rewritable non-volatile memory module to reduce a bit error rate of the data.

  • Publication number: 20220099756
    Abstract: An electrowetting on dielectric (EWOD) device for self-detection of an open-circuit or closed-circuit condition includes a detection chip, a power input module, a switch module, a detection module, and a determination module. The detection chip includes a channel, several driving electrodes, and a detection electrode. Each driving electrode can couple with the detection electrode to form the driving loop. The switch unit selects one of the driving electrodes to be electrically connected to the power input module for receiving a power voltage from the power input module. The detection module receives a detection voltage outputted by the detection electrode and accumulates the detection voltage to obtain an accumulated voltage. The determination module compares the accumulated voltage with a specified voltage for determining whether the driving loop is open-circuit or closed-circuit. A method for a self-detection circuit in EWOD device is also disclosed.
