Abstract
Description
technical field
[0001] The invention relates to a chip access technology, in particular to a method for operating a flash memory and a system chip. Background technique
[0002] Nand-flash (a kind of Flash memory) is an important storage medium. Manufacturers have introduced a series of advanced Nand-flash chips with higher capacity density and lower cost. However, the stability of the chip is greatly reduced, and more bits of ECC are required for verification. In the early chips, errors only occurred in erasing and writing operations, but the new Nand-flash can also make errors when reading (read disturbance).
[0003] In order to provide a reliable data reading channel, each manufacturer provides user-defined operation commands in addition to the standard Nand-flash reading and writing interface, and they are not compatible with each other. After the standard data reading fails, the user executes the Read-retry command. The Read-retry command changes the internal level de...
