Erasing/writing control circuit and method of nonvolatile memory

Abstract

The invention discloses an erasing / writing control circuit of a nonvolatile memory. The erasing / writing control circuit comprises a main control circuit, a parameter register circuit, a comparison circuit, a data cache region circuit, the erasing / writing control circuit and a reading control circuit. The invention furthermore discloses an erasing / writing control method of the nonvolatile memory. In a process of erasing / writing the nonvolatile memory each time, firstly erasing / writing attempts to be performed by using a configuration parameter corresponding to low power consumption and short erasing / writing time. After the current operation of attempting to perform the easing / writing is finished, backward reading is performed and comparison with data stored in an internal cache region of the circuit is carried out. If the data is inconsistent, the erasing / writing attempts to be performed again by using a configuration parameter corresponding to higher power consumption and longer erasing / writing time, and the process is repeated until a comparison result displays that the data is consistent after the backward reading, so that the current erasing / writing work of the nonvolatile memory is finished. According to the control circuit, the erasing / writing time of the nonvolatile memory can be optimized, the power consumption of the erasing / writing period can be reduced, and the erasing / writing performance can be improved.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of non-volatile memory, in particular to a control circuit for erasing and writing of the non-volatile memory. The invention also relates to a method for controlling erasing and writing of the nonvolatile memory. Background technique [0002] For non-volatile memory, the power consumption required for erasing and writing is often three to four orders of magnitude greater than that required for reading, and the time required for erasing and writing is also three to four orders of magnitude greater than the time required for reading . For different erasing and writing unit blocks corresponding to the same non-volatile memory, the required erasing and writing time and erasing and writing power consumption are also different, and the difference can be more than one order of magnitude. Moreover, as the number of times of use increases, the circuit of the memory unit will age, thus requiring a longer erasing time and eras...
