Improving MLC flash performance and endurance with extended P/E cycles
2015
The traditional usage pattern for NAND flash memory is the program/erase (P/E) cycle: the flash pages that make a flash block are all programmed in order and then the whole flash block needs to be erased before the pages can be programmed again. The erase operations are slow, wear out the medium, and require costly garbage collection procedures. Reducing their number is therefore beneficial both in terms of performance and endurance. The physical structure of flash cells limits the number of opportunities to overcome the 1 to 1 ratio between programming and erasing pages: a bit storing a logical 0 cannot be reprogrammed to a logical 1 before the end of the P/E cycle. This paper presents a t…
TID and SEE Tests of an Advanced 8 Gbit NAND-Flash Memory
2008
We report on the dose and operational mode dependence of error percentage, stand-by current, erase and write time of 8 Gbit / 4 Gbit NAND-flash memories as well as on their static, dynamic and SEFI cross sections.
