发明名称 METHOD FOR MANAGING BAD MEMORY BLOCKS IN A NONVOLATILE-MEMORY DEVICE, AND NONVOLATILE-MEMORY DEVICE IMPLEMENTING THE MANAGEMENT METHOD
摘要 A method for managing bad memory blocks of a nonvolatile-memory device, in which the available memory blocks are divided into a first set, formed by addressable memory blocks that are to be used by a user, and a second set, formed by spare memory blocks that are to replace bad addressable memory blocks, and in which the bad addressable memory blocks are re-mapped into corresponding spare memory blocks. The re-mapping of the bad addressable memory blocks envisages: seeking bad spare memory blocks; storing the logic address of each bad spare memory block in a re-directing vector in a position corresponding to that of the bad spare memory block in the respective set; seeking bad addressable memory blocks; and storing the logic address of each bad addressable memory block in a free position in the re-directing vector.
