The present invention intends to provide a semiconductor recording device that is able to continuously record data and has high reliability even in a case where writing errors frequently occur. When data to be written is recorded as an error correction code (ECC) in a plurality of physical blocks constituting a nonvolatile memory and a writing error occurred, a time interval between the writing error that occurred immediately before and the present writing error is detected. Then, when the time interval is within a first reference time, an error position management unit registers a writing error occurrence block number and block numbers grouped with the writing error occurrence block in the ECC. Then, the writing error registered in the error position management unit is read at a predetermined timing, and the error is corrected on the basis of the ECC and the corrected data is rewritten. In this manner, since overflow of a buffer memory of the host apparatus can be avoided, real-time recording can be realized even in the case where the writing errors frequently occurred.
A semiconductor recording device that incorporates a nonvolatile memory composed of a plurality of physical blocks, the physical block being composed of a plurality of pages, and configures the predetermined number of said physical blocks as one group, comprising:
