Abstract

A flash storage chip is provided. The flash storage chip includes a single circuit board, a microcontroller, a flash memory and a PCI Express connecting interface. The microcontroller, the flash memory and the PCI Express connecting interface are embedded at the single circuit board, and the microcontroller includes a flash memory interface and a PCI Express interface. When a host writes data into the flash storage chip, the microcontroller receives the data though the PCI Express interface and stores the data in the flash memory though the flash memory interface. When the host reads data form the flash storage chip, the microcontroller reads the data from the flash memory though the flash memory and transmits the data to the host though the PCI Express interface.

Description of the Invention: [Technical Field] The present invention relates to a storage device, and particularly to a flash memory chip and a flash array storage system. , - [Prior Art] With the continuous advancement of the electronics industry in semiconductor technology, the product has been oriented to improve the processing speed and multi-functionalization of the 'logic processing components (such as the central processing unit) and The processing speed of love ^ is also constantly improving under this trend. However, in the computer system, in addition to the logic processing components and processing speed affects the operation of the electricity (four) system, the access speed of the memory is also affecting the operation of the computer purely. It is impossible to break through its own technical obstacles to improve its second, and 'the speed of its access is still not compatible with the CPU and memory speed, thus the overall performance of the computer line can not be effectively improved. The speed of transferring data depends on the transmission speed of the bus, in order to improve the performance of the computer. [Related operators continue to develop the interface of the Wisdom, such as the integrated driver electronics (IDE) interface, peripheral component interconnect (PCI) interface, High-speed peripheral component interconnection (PCIEXPress) connection interface, etc. In addition, in order to improve the access speed of the access device in the computer system, the prior art proposes a disk array (Redundant Array of Independent

In addition, when the system host wants to write data to the flash array storage system 3, the flash array driver 302 receives the write command of the system host, for example, a command, and will write the The data is divided into a plurality of sections and the segmented material is transmitted with the IDE instructions to at least one of the flash storage wafers 306-1 through 306-n. Thereafter, the virtual flash memory of the flash memory chips 306-1 to 306-n that receives the command and data will execute the IDE command 'and the data to be written will be converted from the flash memory interface η to The format that the flash memory 316 can receive is written to the flash memory 316. In the embodiment of the present invention, for example, the IDE instruction is compatible with the ΑΤΑ specification. I, In another embodiment of the invention, the IDE instructions are, for example, compatible with the sequence specification. In the present embodiment, the flash memory wafers 306-1 through 306-n are packaged as a single wafer, thereby reducing the overall flash array storage system 3' size for use in small computer systems. Further, in the present embodiment, the external transfer interface of the flash memory chips 306-1 to 306-n uses the ρα Express interface, and the transfer rate is as high as 250 MB/s at 1 Lane single channel (pcie xl). Therefore, in this embodiment, the data transmission speed of the array storage 21 200910356 PSPD-2007-U016 24992twf.doc/n system can be effectively improved. In particular, in this embodiment, the micro-control cry has a virtual IDE interface module, so that the system host can access the data to achieve the PCI Express interface speed, and also has compatible features.
