Flash Controller Basics
To overcome the vulnerability of Flash memory to power glitches, memory system designers have utilized advanced memory management techniques. The most frequently used technique involves usage of Error Correction Code (ECC) to detect the failure and correct the data. The ECC algorithm calculates special code based on the user data and programs this code in the overhead space for each programmed page. When the data is read, the ECC algorithm verifies it against the calculated value. In case of discrepancy, the ECC algorithm can correct the read data (within certain statistical limitation) based on the stored special code. Depending on product specification, Fortasa Memory Systems solutions offer ECC correction capability substantially greater than is recommended by the Flash memory suppliers. This “safety measure” can correct upto 99% of data corruptions in a typical application.
