Abstract:
1. A method of accessing a large block memory of a nonvolatile memory device, wherein the large block memory has a plurality of pages and each page has a plurality of sectors, wherein the memory device has a controller to control an access operation between a host and the large block memory of the memory device, the controller also has two buffers regions, the method comprising: transferring a portion of a current page data from the host to the controller, and transferring a portion of the current page data from die controller to a data cache within the large block memory, wherein the two transferring steps can be performed at the same time; shifting the current page data in the data cache to a page buffer within the large block memory, when full data of one page is received and a storage space of the page buffer is available; and programming the current page data into a cell array of the large block memory, and simultaneously performing the foregoing two transferring steps if a next page data is desired to continuously transfer.
