发明名称 METADATA REDUNDANCY SCHEMES FOR NON-VOLATILE MEMORIES
摘要 Systems and methods are provided for storing data to or reading data from a non-volatile memory (“NVM”), such as flash memory, using a metadata redundancy scheme. In some embodiments, an electronic device, which includes an NVM, may also include a memory interface for controlling access to the NVM. The memory interface may receive requests to write user data to the NVM. The user data from each request may be associated with metadata, such as a logical address, flags, or other data. In response to a write request, the NVM interface may store the user data and its associated metadata in a first memory location (e.g., page), and may store a redundant copy of the metadata in a second memory location. This way, even if the first memory location becomes inaccessible, the memory interface can still recover the metadata from the backup copy stored in the second memory location.

主权项 1. A method of storing data in a non-volatile memory, the method comprising: receiving a first write request to write first user data to a first logical address; receiving a second write request to write second user data to a second logical address; identifying a physical address at which to store the second user data; and programming the first logical address, the second logical address, and the second user data in the non-volatile memory at the physical address.
