NAND STORAGE DEVICE
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18742941 titled 'NAND STORAGE DEVICE
Original Abstract Submitted
A NAND storage device is provided which includes a built-in controller working to compare a bit error in each block of a first memory area of a NAND memory with a first refresh threshold to determine whether data in the first memory area should be self-refreshed. Similarly, the built-in controller also compares a bit error in each block of a second memory area of the NAND memory with a second refresh threshold to determine whether data in the second memory area should be self-refreshed. This structure is capable of setting the refresh thresholds depending on characteristics of data retained in the NAND memory of the NAND storage device.
