发明名称 METHOD FOR MANAGING FLASH MEMORIES HAVING MIXED MEMORY TYPES
摘要 <p>A method manages a flash memory having a plurality of physical blocks. The blocks of the memory are addressed by logic block addresses which are converted into physical block addresses. In each block a deletion counter is run in which the number of deletions of the block is counted, and two regions having different types of flash chips are present. A first region contains single-level flash chips with a large maximum deletion frequency, and a second region contains multi-level flash chips with a lower maximum deletion frequency. When writing to the memory the address conversion of the logic addresses into physical addresses is carried out such that all blocks of the first region are written, when all blocks of the first region have been written and a further writing process is initiated, the block in the first region having the lowest deletion counter is copied into a blank block in the second region.</p>
