HIGH-PERFORMANCE LARGE SCALE SEMICONDUCTOR STORAGE MODULE WITH HYBRID TECHNOLOGY

摘要

An open architecture is provided for enabling at least two memory types for a single memory disk unit. The memory disk unit includes an interface and a DMA controller. The DMA controller controls the transfer of data to/from memory of at least two memory types of the memory disk unit through a hybrid memory control module. A corresponding memory controller (and in some cases, an ECC controller) is provided for each memory of the at least two memory types. The hybrid memory control architecture can control existing memory controllers by matching protocols for the particular memory controller. Address/memory commands and signal timing can be matched up to the appropriate controller by the hybrid memory control architecture.
