非挥发性储存装置及其控制方法 Non-volatile storage device and control method thereof

技术领域technical field

本发明涉及一种储存装置,特别是涉及一种非挥发性储存装置及其控制方法。The invention relates to a storage device, in particular to a non-volatile storage device and a control method thereof.

背景技术Background technique

体积日益小型化的非挥发性内存储存装置(non-volatile memory storageapparatus),如内存卡(memory card);其应用日益广泛,并逐渐为便携式装置(portable device)普遍采用。为配合便携式应用,如“手机”(mobile phone)的需要,该内存储存装置的体积也日益趋向轻薄短小,并降低其耗电量;以满足使用者希望缩小产品体积并延长电池使用时间的需要。因而有新推出的产品不仅具有调整该内存储存装置的电源供应电压(power supply voltage)的功能,也具有调整接口信号位准(interface signal level)的发展。Non-volatile memory storage apparatus (non-volatile memory storage apparatus), such as memory card (memory card), is increasingly miniaturized; its application is becoming more and more extensive, and it is gradually widely used by portable devices. In order to meet the needs of portable applications, such as "mobile phones", the size of the memory storage device is becoming thinner and smaller, and its power consumption is reduced; to meet the needs of users who want to reduce the size of the product and extend the battery life . Therefore, there are new products that not only have the function of adjusting the power supply voltage of the memory storage device, but also have the development of adjusting the interface signal level.

请参阅图1,其为现有技术的电源管理单元的功能方块图。其中,电源管理单元110是根据电压检测器114内固有的检测电压,来控制升压电路112作升压的动作,或控制稳压电路111来作稳压或降压的动作,以供应储存单元(未图示)运作的所需。其中,此检测电压是高于储存单元的最小工作电压,并低于其本身的工作电压VDD。由于每种储存单元都具有其特有的工作电压范围,倘若电源管理单元110只能根据固有的检测电压来调整外部电压VEXT,且非挥发性储存装置内采用不同规格的储存单元时,电源管理单元110将无法支持不同规格的储存单元,导致非挥发性储存装置的应用范围受到限制。Please refer to FIG. 1 , which is a functional block diagram of a prior art power management unit. Wherein, the power management unit 110 controls the voltage boosting circuit 112 to boost the voltage according to the inherent detection voltage in the voltage detector 114, or controls the voltage stabilizing circuit 111 to stabilize or lower the voltage to supply the storage unit (not shown) required for operation. Wherein, the detection voltage is higher than the minimum working voltage of the storage unit and lower than its own working voltage V DD . Since each storage unit has its unique operating voltage range, if the power management unit 110 can only adjust the external voltage VEXT according to the inherent detection voltage, and when storage units with different specifications are used in the non-volatile storage device, the power management unit 110 will not be able to support storage units of different specifications, resulting in limited application range of non-volatile storage devices.

请参考图2所示,其为本发明内容的非挥发性储存装置的方块示意图。非挥发性储存装置(non-volatile storage apparatus)20包含一储存装置控制器(storage controller)21及一储存单元(memory unit)22。储存装置控制器21连结于非挥发性储存装置20外部的应用装置(application device)10,用以接收由应用装置10提供非挥发性储存装置20运作所需的外部电压(external voltage)VS,以及作为非挥发性储存装置20与应用装置10间传输数字信息的桥梁。储存单元22连结于储存装置控制器21,用以储存应用装置10所输入的数字信息,储存单元22可以是一非挥发性内存单元,即至少包含一个非挥发性内存。其中,外部电压Vs为非挥发性储存装置20的电源供应电压。Please refer to FIG. 2 , which is a schematic block diagram of the non-volatile storage device of the present invention. The non-volatile storage apparatus 20 includes a storage controller 21 and a memory unit 22 . The storage device controller 21 is connected to the application device 10 outside the non-volatile storage device 20 to receive the external voltage V S provided by the application device 10 for the operation of the non-volatile storage device 20, And as a bridge for transmitting digital information between the non-volatile storage device 20 and the application device 10 . The storage unit 22 is connected to the storage device controller 21 for storing the digital information input by the application device 10. The storage unit 22 may be a non-volatile memory unit, ie at least includes one non-volatile memory. Wherein, the external voltage Vs is the power supply voltage of the non-volatile storage device 20 .

储存装置控制器21包含一电源管理单元(power management unit)210及一控制单元(control unit)220。电源管理单元210连结于应用装置10及储存单元22之间,用以根据储存单元22的规格及控制单元220所提供的控制信号VC,将所接收到的外部电压VS,调整为符合储存单元22运作所须的电压准位,即第二工作电压VOP2。除此之外,电源管理单元210将外部电压VS稳压(regulate)之后,供应至控制单元220,以维持控制单元220运作的所需,即第一工作电压VOP1The storage device controller 21 includes a power management unit 210 and a control unit 220 . The power management unit 210 is connected between the application device 10 and the storage unit 22, and is used to adjust the received external voltage V S to conform to the storage unit 22 according to the specification of the storage unit 22 and the control signal V C provided by the control unit 220. The voltage level required for the operation of the unit 22 is the second operating voltage V OP2 . In addition, the power management unit 210 supplies the external voltage V S to the control unit 220 after being regulated, so as to maintain the operation requirement of the control unit 220 , that is, the first operating voltage V OP1 .

控制单元220包含一系统接口(system interface)221、一数据处理装置(processing device)222及一内存接口(memory interface)223。其中,系统接口221连结于应用装置10,内存接口223连结于储存单元22,数据处理装置222连结于系统接口221及内存接口223。数据处理装置222用以根据控制单元220内的控制程序,来处理储存单元22与应用装置10之间的数据交换。The control unit 220 includes a system interface (system interface) 221 , a data processing device (processing device) 222 and a memory interface (memory interface) 223 . Wherein, the system interface 221 is connected to the application device 10 , the memory interface 223 is connected to the storage unit 22 , and the data processing device 222 is connected to the system interface 221 and the memory interface 223 . The data processing device 222 is used for processing data exchange between the storage unit 22 and the application device 10 according to the control program in the control unit 220 .

由于第二工作电压VOP2可能与外部电压VS不同,所以储存单元22与内存接口223间传输的内部信号的电压位准VINT大于应用装置10与系统接口221间传输的外部信号的电压位准VEXT。为使外部信号与内部信号在传递时,储存单元22及应用装置10依旧能分别正确稳定地辨识内部信号的电压位准VINT及外部信号的电压位准VEXT,因此控制单元220内部必须将两组接口(系统接口221及内存接口223)的参考电压独立分开。也就是说,系统接口221必须根据应用装置10所提供的外部电压VS来作为外部参考电压VER,使外部信号的电压位准VEXT符合外部电压VS的电压位准,内存接口223必须根据第二工作电压VOP2来作为内部参考电压VIR,使内部信号的电压位准VINT符合第二工作电压VOP2的电压位准。Since the second operating voltage V OP2 may be different from the external voltage V S , the voltage level V INT of the internal signal transmitted between the storage unit 22 and the memory interface 223 is greater than the voltage level of the external signal transmitted between the application device 10 and the system interface 221 Quasi-V EXT . In order to enable the storage unit 22 and the application device 10 to correctly and stably identify the voltage level V INT of the internal signal and the voltage level V EXT of the external signal when the external signal and the internal signal are transmitted, the control unit 220 must internally The reference voltages of the two groups of interfaces (the system interface 221 and the memory interface 223 ) are separated independently. That is to say, the system interface 221 must use the external voltage V S provided by the application device 10 as the external reference voltage V ER , so that the voltage level V EXT of the external signal conforms to the voltage level of the external voltage V S. The memory interface 223 must According to the second operating voltage V OP2 as the internal reference voltage V IR , the voltage level V INT of the internal signal conforms to the voltage level of the second operating voltage V OP2 .

此外,每一个供货商所提供的储存单元22都包含不同的规格或信息,因此每种储存单元22内都包含一独特的识别代码。依照本发明的实施例,即使更换储存单元22,以应用在不同的非挥发性储存装置20中,仍能确保非挥发性储存装置20的稳定运作。In addition, each storage unit 22 provided by each supplier contains different specifications or information, so each storage unit 22 contains a unique identification code. According to the embodiment of the present invention, even if the storage unit 22 is replaced to be used in a different non-volatile storage device 20 , the stable operation of the non-volatile storage device 20 can still be ensured.

An operating voltage V OP1 . The second voltage stabilizing circuit 213 is connected to the application device 10, and is used to determine whether to receive the external voltage Vs provided by the application device 10 according to the control of the power supply control and the switch circuit 215, and to stabilize or reduce the voltage level of the external voltage Vs. , so as to generate the second operating voltage V OP2 to supply the operation requirements of the storage unit 22 and the requirements of the control unit 220 to adjust the voltage level V INT of the internal signal.

电压检测电路214连结于应用装置10,用以检测由应用装置10所提供的外部电压VS的电压位准,并产生检测信号,来提供电源控制及开关电路215作为电源控制的参考依据。The voltage detection circuit 214 is connected to the application device 10 for detecting the voltage level of the external voltage V S provided by the application device 10 and generating a detection signal to provide the power control and switching circuit 215 as a reference for power control.

电源控制及开关电路215连结于控制单元220及储存单元22,用以根据控制单元220所输入的控制信号Vc以及电压检测电路214所输入的检测信号,来决定输出的第二工作电压VOP2是由第二升压电路212来提供,或是由第二稳压电路213来提供,且决定电源管理单元210所接收到的外部电压Vs需要升压、稳压或降压。The power control and switching circuit 215 is connected to the control unit 220 and the storage unit 22, and is used to determine the output second operating voltage V OP2 according to the control signal Vc input by the control unit 220 and the detection signal input by the voltage detection circuit 214. It is provided by the second voltage boosting circuit 212 , or provided by the second voltage stabilizing circuit 213 , and determines whether the external voltage Vs received by the power management unit 210 needs to be boosted, stabilized or buckled.

请参考图4所示,其为本发明内容的识别储存单元以调整第二工作电压的流程图。当连结于应用装置10的非挥发性储存装置20启动后,应用装置10开始供应外部电压Vs,如步骤S310。Please refer to FIG. 4 , which is a flow chart of identifying a storage unit to adjust a second operating voltage according to the present invention. After the non-volatile storage device 20 connected to the application device 10 is activated, the application device 10 starts to supply the external voltage Vs, as in step S310.

此时,电源管理单元210中的第一稳压电路211接收到应用装置10所供应的外部电压Vs,并将外部电压Vs调整成控制单元220运作所需要的第一工作电压VOP1,使控制单元220可以利用第一工作电压VOP1来推动其内部的运作,例如处理应用装置10与储存单元22间的数据交换、分别调整内部信号及外部信号的电压位准VINT及VEXT,以符合第二工作电压VOP2与外部电压Vs的电压位准等,如步骤S320。At this time, the first voltage stabilizing circuit 211 in the power management unit 210 receives the external voltage Vs supplied by the application device 10, and adjusts the external voltage Vs to the first operating voltage V OP1 required by the operation of the control unit 220, so that the control The unit 220 can use the first operating voltage V OP1 to promote its internal operations, such as processing the data exchange between the application device 10 and the storage unit 22, and adjusting the voltage levels V INT and V EXT of internal signals and external signals respectively to meet The voltage levels of the second operating voltage V OP2 and the external voltage Vs, etc., as in step S320 .

当电源管理单元210提供控制单元220运作所需的第一工作电压VOP1后,控制单元220会先输出一控制信号Vc至电源管理单元210内的电源控制及开关电路215,使电源控制及开关电路215根据控制信号Vc及检测信号,来决定由第二稳压电路213将外部电压Vs调整至非挥发性储存装置20所支持的最小的第二工作电压VOP2,来供应储存单元22,如步骤S330。After the power management unit 210 provides the first operating voltage V OP1 required for the operation of the control unit 220, the control unit 220 will first output a control signal Vc to the power control and switching circuit 215 in the power management unit 210, so that the power control and switching According to the control signal Vc and the detection signal, the circuit 215 decides to adjust the external voltage Vs to the minimum second operating voltage V OP2 supported by the non-volatile storage device 20 by the second voltage stabilizing circuit 213 to supply the storage unit 22, such as Step S330.

当储存单元22供应最小的第二工作电压VOP2至储存单元22时,控制单元220便可以驱动其内部的内存接口223来读取储存单元22内所储存的识别代码,如步骤S340。其中,每一个供货商所提供的储存单元22都包含不同的规格或信息,因此每种储存单元22内都包含一独特的识别代码。When the storage unit 22 supplies the minimum second operating voltage V OP2 to the storage unit 22 , the control unit 220 can drive its internal memory interface 223 to read the identification code stored in the storage unit 22 , as in step S340 . Wherein, each storage unit 22 provided by each supplier contains different specifications or information, so each storage unit 22 contains a unique identification code.

当内存接口223由储存单元22内获取到识别代码时,控制单元220会进一步地判断此获取出来的识别代码是否可以正确地识别出来,即当可以识别出此储存单元22的制造厂商及产品规格等信息时,代表此时的第二工作电压VOP2可以成功地驱动储存单元22,当无法识别出此储存单元22的制造厂商及产品规格等信息,甚至出现乱码时,代表此时的第二工作电压VOP2无法成功地驱动储存单元22,如步骤S350。When the memory interface 223 obtains the identification code from the storage unit 22, the control unit 220 will further judge whether the obtained identification code can be correctly identified, that is, when the manufacturer and product specification of the storage unit 22 can be identified When waiting for information, it means that the second operating voltage V OP2 at this time can successfully drive the storage unit 22. When the information such as the manufacturer and product specifications of the storage unit 22 cannot be recognized, or even garbled characters appear, it means that the second operating voltage V OP2 at this time can successfully drive the storage unit 22. The operating voltage V OP2 cannot successfully drive the storage unit 22 , as in step S350 .

根据步骤S350,当控制单元220无法正确地辨识储存单元22内之识别代码时,进一步地判断此时的第二工作电压VOP2是否已达到了非挥发性储存装置20所能支持之第二工作电压VOP2的最大值,如步骤S352。According to step S350, when the control unit 220 cannot correctly identify the identification code in the storage unit 22, it further judges whether the second operating voltage V OP2 at this time has reached the second operation that the non-volatile storage device 20 can support. The maximum value of the voltage V OP2 , as in step S352.

根据步骤S352,当此时的第二工作电压VOP2尚未达到非挥发性储存装置20所能支持之第二工作电压VOP2的最大值时,表示此储存单元22的规格可能系在非挥发性储存装置20所支持的范围内。因此控制单元220会根据此一鉴别信息,产生新的控制信号Vc至电源管理单元210之电源控制及开关电路215,使电源控制及开关电路215可以根据检测信号及新的控制信号Vc,来控制第二升压电路212将外部电压Vs的电压位准提升,以提供更新第二工作电压VOP2,使内存接口223可以继续尝试获取正确的识别代码,如步骤S354。According to step S352, when the second operating voltage V OP2 at this time has not yet reached the maximum value of the second operating voltage V OP2 that the non-volatile storage device 20 can support, it means that the specification of the storage unit 22 may be in the non-volatile within the range supported by the storage device 20. Therefore, the control unit 220 will generate a new control signal Vc to the power control and switch circuit 215 of the power management unit 210 according to this identification information, so that the power control and switch circuit 215 can be controlled according to the detection signal and the new control signal Vc. The second boost circuit 212 boosts the voltage level of the external voltage Vs to provide an updated second operating voltage V OP2 , so that the memory interface 223 can continue to try to obtain the correct identification code, as in step S354 .

根据步骤S352,当此时的第二工作电压VOP2已达到非挥发性储存装置20所能支持的第二工作电压VOP2的最大值时,表示此储存单元22的规格不在此非挥发性储存装置20所能支持的范围内,因此控制单元220结束检测识别代码的程序,且电源管理单元210也无法正确地设定合适的第二工作电压VOP2来供应此储存单元运作的所需,如步骤S380。According to step S352, when the second operating voltage V OP2 at this time has reached the maximum value of the second operating voltage V OP2 that the non-volatile storage device 20 can support, it means that the specification of the storage unit 22 is not in the non-volatile storage Therefore, the control unit 220 ends the procedure of detecting the identification code, and the power management unit 210 cannot correctly set the appropriate second operating voltage V OP2 to supply the operation of the storage unit, such as Step S380.

根据步骤S350,当控制单元220可以正确地辨识出储存单元22内的识别代码时,表示此储存单元22的规格是在非挥发性储存装置20所支持的范围内。控制单元220会根据此一鉴别信息,产生新的控制信号Vc至电源控制及开关电路215,以控制第二升压电路212或第二稳压电路213来调整外部电压Vs,产生合适的第二工作电压VOP2,以供应储存单元22运作的所需,如步骤S360。According to step S350 , when the control unit 220 can correctly identify the identification code in the storage unit 22 , it means that the specification of the storage unit 22 is within the range supported by the non-volatile storage device 20 . The control unit 220 will generate a new control signal Vc to the power control and switch circuit 215 according to the identification information, so as to control the second voltage boosting circuit 212 or the second voltage stabilizing circuit 213 to adjust the external voltage Vs to generate a suitable second voltage. The operating voltage V OP2 is used to supply the operation of the storage unit 22 , as in step S360 .

也就是说,当外部电压Vs小于储存单元22运作所需的第二工作电压VOP2时,电源控制及开关电路215会控制第二升压电路212,来提高第二工作电压VOP2的电压位准,以符合储存单元22运作的所需。当外部电压Vs符合储存单元22运作所需的第二工作电压VOP2时,电源控制及开关电路215会控制第二稳压电路213作稳压的动作。当外部电压Vs大于储存单元22运作所需的第二工作电压VOP2时,电源控制及开关电路215会控制第二稳压电路213,来降低第二工作电压VOP2的电压位准,以符合储存单元22运作的所需。That is to say, when the external voltage Vs is lower than the second operating voltage V OP2 required for the operation of the storage unit 22, the power control and switching circuit 215 will control the second boost circuit 212 to increase the voltage level of the second operating voltage V OP2 Standard, to meet the needs of the storage unit 22 operation. When the external voltage Vs meets the second operating voltage V OP2 required for the operation of the storage unit 22 , the power control and switching circuit 215 controls the second voltage stabilizing circuit 213 to perform voltage stabilizing action. When the external voltage Vs is greater than the second operating voltage V OP2 required for the operation of the storage unit 22, the power control and switching circuit 215 will control the second voltage stabilizing circuit 213 to reduce the voltage level of the second operating voltage V OP2 to meet The storage unit 22 is required for operation.

当第二工作电压VOP2已符合储存单元22运作的所需时,表示第二工作电压VOP2已完成设定,且控制单元220即可结束检测识别代码的程序,如步骤S370。When the second operating voltage V OP2 meets the operation requirements of the storage unit 22 , it means that the setting of the second operating voltage V OP2 has been completed, and the control unit 220 can end the procedure of detecting the identification code, as in step S370 .

如此一来,不仅可以使储存单元22在外部电压Vs脱离储存单元22的操作范围下,仍能稳定地运作,且即使非挥发性储存装置20内采用不同规格的储存单元22时,仍能保持正常的工作。In this way, not only can the storage unit 22 operate stably when the external voltage Vs deviates from the operating range of the storage unit 22, but also the non-volatile storage device 20 can still maintain a normal work.

本发明所提供的优点在于,不仅可以使储存单元在外部电压脱离储存单元的操作范围下,仍能稳定的运作,且非挥发性储存装置可支持多种不同规格的储存单元。The advantage provided by the present invention is that not only the storage unit can still operate stably when the external voltage is out of the operation range of the storage unit, but also the non-volatile storage device can support a variety of storage units with different specifications.

本发明所提供的另一优点在于,利用每种不同规格的储存单元内的识别代码,来调整第二工作电压以供应储存单元运作的所需。Another advantage provided by the present invention is that the second operating voltage is adjusted to meet the requirements of the operation of the storage unit by utilizing the identification code in each storage unit with different specifications.

本发明所提供的再一优点在于,电源管理单元根据储存单元内的识别代码相对应的控制信号,以及外部电压相对应的检测信号,来决定是将外部电压作升压、稳压或降压的动作,以符合储存单元运作的所需。Another advantage provided by the present invention is that the power management unit determines whether to boost, stabilize or lower the external voltage according to the control signal corresponding to the identification code in the storage unit and the detection signal corresponding to the external voltage. Actions to meet the needs of the storage unit operation.
