Abstract
A storage device includes a controller unit and a memory cell array. The controller unit is for outputting data through a first data path or a second data path according to a property of externally supplied input data. The memory cell array includes a first memory and a second memory, and receives and stores the data from the controller unit output through the first and second data paths. The first memory has a different memory cell structure than the second memory.
Claims18
A storage device comprising:
- a controller unit which selectively outputs input data through a first data path or a second data path according to a property of the input data;
- and
- a memory cell array which includes a first memory and a second memory, and which receives and stores the input data output by the controller unit through the first data path and the second data path, wherein the first memory has a different memory cell structure than the second memory, and
- wherein the first memory has a charge trap flash (CTF) structure and the second memory has a floating gate (FG) structure.
