Spare block management in non-volatile memories

摘要: Techniques for the management of spare blocks in re-programmable non-volatile memory system, such as a flash EEPROM are presented. In one set techniques, partitioned into two sections (for example binary section and multi-state section), where more prone to error, can be transferred from error partition less partition. another techniques sections, which fail serve other complementary 1-bit time stamp is maintained free determine whether block has been written recently. Other allow managed by way logical physical conversion table assigning them addresses that exceed address space host aware.
