ECC简介
由于NAND Flash的工艺不能保证NAND的Memory Array在其生命周期中保持性能的可靠,因此,在NAND的生产中及使用过程中会产生坏块。为了检测数据的可靠性,在应用NAND Flash的系统中一般都会采用一定的坏区管理策略,而管理坏区的前提是能比较可靠的进行坏区检测。
如果操作时序和电路稳定性不存在问题的话,NAND Flash出错的时候一般不会造成整个Block或是Page不能读取或是全部出错,而是整个Page(例如512Bytes)中只有一个或几个bit出错。
对数据的校验常用的有奇偶校验、CRC校验等,而在NAND Flash处理中,一般使用一种比较专用的校验——ECC。ECC能纠正单比特错误和检测双比特错误,而且计算速度很快,但对1比特以上的错误无法纠正,对2比特以上的错误不保证能检测。
ECC原理
ECC一般每256字节原始数据生成3字节ECC校验数据,这三字节共24比特分成两部分:6比特的列校验和16比特的行校验,多余的两个比特置1,如下图所示:
ECC的列校验和生成规则如下图所示:
用数学表达式表示为:
P4=D7(+)D6(+)D5(+)D4P4`=D3(+)D2(+)D1(+)D0
P2=D7(+)D6(+)D3(+)D2P2`=D5(+)D4(+)D1(+)D0
P1=D7(+)D5(+)D3(+)D1P1`=D6(+)D4(+)D2(+)D0
这里(+)表示“位异或”操作
ECC的行校验和生成规则如下图所示:
用数学表达式表示为:
P8 = bit7(+)bit6(+)bit5(+)bit4(+)bit3(+)bit2(+)bit1(+)bit0(+)P8
……………………………………………………………………………………
这里(+)同样表示“位异或”操作
当往NAND Flash的page中写入数据的时候,每256字节我们生成一个ECC校验和,称之为原ECC校验和,保存到PAGE的OOB(out-of-band)数据区中。
当从NAND Flash中读取数据的时候,每256字节我们生成一个ECC校验和,称之为新ECC校验和。
校验的时候,根据上述ECC生成原理不难推断:将从OOB区中读出的原ECC校验和新ECC校验和按位异或,若结果为0,则表示不存在错(或是出现了ECC无法检测的错误);若3个字节异或结果中存在11个比特位为1,表示存在一个比特错误,且可纠正;若3个字节异或结果中只存在1个比特位为1,表示OOB区出错;其他情况均表示出现了无法纠正的错误。
