Patent Searching and Data


Title:
MEMORY SYSTEM AND DATA TRANSFER METHOD THEREOF
Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JP2011242884
Kind Code:
A
Abstract:

To shorten latency in a read operation from a nonvolatile memory.

A memory system 10 includes: a nonvolatile memory 11 for storing data; a buffer 15 for tentatively storing the data from the nonvolatile memory 11; a correction circuit 17 for correcting errors of the data from the buffer 15; a buffer 18 for tentatively storing the data from the correction circuit 17; a bus 20 for receiving the data from the buffer 18; a command sequencer group for issuing a plurality of commands for data transfer between the nonvolatile memory 11 and the bus 20; a command decoder group for decoding the plurality of commands and generating a plurality of control signals for controlling the data transfer; and an interruption circuit 21 for generating an interruption in a CPU 22 when a read error due to error correction incapability occurs. Even when the interruption is generated, the command sequencer group continues the data transfer from the nonvolatile memory 11.
