Abstract
A memory controller adds dummy data to write data by referring to instruction information about a descriptor transfer of the write data if a size of the write data to be written according to a data-write request information does not match a page size unit, thereby adjusting the size of the write data to the page size unit and then outputs the write data.
Claims19
A memory controller that controls access to a flash memory in which data is written in a page size unit according to data-write request information, wherein
- the memory controller adds dummy data to write data by referring to instruction information about a descriptor transfer of the write data if a size of the write data to be written according to the data-write request information does not match the page size unit, thereby adjusting the size of the write data to the page size unit and then outputs the write data.
A method of controlling access to a flash memory in which a memory controller controls access to a flash memory in which data is written in a page size unit according to data-write request information, the method comprising:
- the memory controller acquiring write data to be written into the flash memory according to the data-write request information;
- the memory controller adding dummy data to the write data by referring to instruction information about a descriptor transfer of the write data if a size of the write data to be written according to the data-write request information does not match the page size unit and adjusting the size of the write data to the page size unit;
- and
- the memory controller outputting the write data by referring the instruction information.
