  • Publication number: 20240176519
    Abstract: The present application discloses example operating methods for memory controllers, memory controllers, systems, and electronic devices. The operating methods include: in response to a working mode switching command, determining a state of redundancy check data in a redundancy check cache of a memory controller, and the redundancy check data being used for data recovery of a corresponding storage area in a memory array; and backing up the redundancy check data in the state of an updated state into a backup area of the memory array. Other examples are described.

  • Publication number: 20240176499
    Abstract: Disclosed in the present application are an operating method for a memory controller, a memory controller, a system, and an electronic device. The operating method can include, when detecting that remaining capacity of a used backup area in the memory is less than capacity required for redundancy check data to be written, determining a backup area to be used from the memory, determining valid redundancy check data belonging to garbage collection in the used backup area, and backing up the valid redundancy check data into the backup area to be used, and erasing the used backup area.

  • Publication number: 20240168849
    Abstract: In once example, a memory system includes a controller and a three-dimensional non-volatile memory that are coupled. The three-dimensional non-volatile memory includes a three-dimensional memory array. The three-dimensional memory array includes a plurality of word lines and a plurality of pages that are coupled. The controller is configured to: calculate received page data corresponding to a first word line in units of page data corresponding to one word line to obtain first RAID parity data, and store the first RAID parity data in a parity buffer space; and calculate received page data corresponding to an (i+1)th word line and ith RAID parity data to obtain (i+1)th RAID parity data, and store the (i+1)th RAID parity data in the parity buffer space, the (i+1)th RAID parity data overwriting the ith RAID parity data, i being a positive integer greater than or equal to 1.

  • Publication number: 20240168892
    Abstract: Aspects of the disclosure provide the memory system having a memory apparatus and a memory controller coupled with the memory apparatus. The memory apparatus includes at least one memory chip having a plurality of memory planes, each memory plane includes a plurality of pages, a plurality of pages located at the same position in each of the memory planes of the at least one memory chip form a page line, the memory apparatus includes a plurality of tag groups, each tag group includes a plurality of page lines. The memory controller can be configured to, when the memory apparatus is powered down and then powered on, respectively perform, in sequence, a recoding operation on all pages of which the states are programmed states in each tag group, and according to an encoding result corresponding to each tag group, respectively determine whether check data corresponding to each tag group is abnormal.

  • Patent number: 11972155
    Abstract: Implementations of the present disclosure provide a system includes a memory device for storing memory data. The memory device includes an array of memory cells and a plurality of word lines arranged in a plurality of rows and coupled to the array of memory cells. The system also includes a memory controller, having a processor and a memory, operatively coupled to the array of memory cells. The system further includes a host, having another processor and another memory, operatively coupled to the memory controller. The other processor of the host is configured to perform a first RAID encode operation on memory data to form first parity data. The processor of the memory controller is configured to receive the first parity data and the memory data, and perform a second RAID encode operation on the first parity data and the memory data to form second parity data.
