Abstract
A block addressing method for a memory device and a memory device are provided. The block addressing method includes: dividing a memory array in the memory device into N partitions, where N is an integer; converting a physical address of each of a plurality of blocks of the memory device into a logical address according to a specific mapping rule; and addressing the blocks to the N partitions according to the logical addresses.
Claims10
A block addressing method for a memory device, comprising:
- dividing a memory array of the memory device into N partitions, wherein N is an integer;
- converting a physical address of each of a plurality of blocks of the memory device into a logical address according to a specific mapping rule;
- and
- addressing the blocks to the N partitions according to the logical addresses.
1 more element
A memory device, comprising:
- a memory array divided into N partitions, wherein N is an integer;
- and
- a decoder coupled to the memory array, converting a physical address of each of a plurality of blocks of the memory into a logical address according to a specific mapping rule, and addressing the blocks to the N partitions according to the logical addresses.
A block addressing method for a memory device, comprising:
- dividing a memory array of the memory device into N partitions, wherein N is an integer;
- and
- treating N blocks among a plurality of blocks of the memory device as a unit and addressing the N blocks into partitions P1 to PN one by one until all the blocks are addressed.
