FILE ALLOCATION TABLE MANAGEMENT BY MEMORY CONTROLLER FOR MEMORY CARD

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide higher speed and more efficient file management of a memory card.

SOLUTION: A memory card controller (130) controls a file allocation table (500) and file system structures of a memory card (120), in order to speed up data transfer to and from the memory card and a host device. The memory card controller includes a memory (210) to store the file allocation table, and a processor (220) to update the file allocation table and file system structures based on access commands received from the host device.
