Mainboard with integrated flash memory storage unit

Abstract

The invention provides a mainboard with an integrated flash memory storage unit. The mainboard comprises a memory control module, an input / output control module, and an integrated flash memory storage unit which is integrated on the mainboard for storing data, a flash memory controller which is connected with the integrated flash memory storage unit, receives commands of the input / output control module and controls the communication of the integrated flash memory storage unit, and a direct memory access controller which cooperates with the flash memory controller in the control of the communication of the integrated flash memory storage unit. The mainboard with flash memory storage provided by the invention makes use of the advantages of quick reading and writing speed, good shock resistance and low power consumption of flash memory and uses the flash memory as a storage medium to form a storage unit of a computer, and the direct integration of the flash memory on the mainboard simplifies a circuit and reduces the volume and weight of the mainboard. According to the characteristics of the flash memory, the flash memory storage unit has a higher speed, lower energy consumption and noise as well as better safety compared with hard disk.

Description

Technical field [0001] The invention relates to a computer structural component, in particular to a mainboard integrated with a flash memory storage unit. Background technique [0002] The core of the current computer system data storage is the traditional hard disk. The hard disk uses the disk as the storage medium and performs various operations on the disk through the magnetic head. The existing hard disk is large in size, and because of its internal motor, magnetic head and other mechanical parts, it has poor shock resistance and is easy to damage and cause loss of data; and it still needs dedicated SCSI (Small Computer System Interface), SATA ( Serial Advanced Technology Attachment point-to-point serial ATA) or PATA (ParallelATA, Parallel ATA) hard disk interface connection works, because traditional hard disks need to be connected to the motherboard with a power cable and a data cable, the motherboard connects the CPU module and memory, The communication control is carried ...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

Existing hard disk volume is bigger, and because there are mechanical parts such as motor, magnetic head inside it, so shock resistance is poor, easily damaged and cause loss of data; And still need special SCSI (Small Computer System Interface), SATA ( Serial Advanced Technology Attachment point-to-point Serial ATA) or PATA (ParallelATA, Parallel ATA) hard disk interface connection work, because the traditional hard disk needs to connect a power line and a data line with the motherboard, the motherboard is connected to the CPU module and memory, The communication control is carried out through the memory control module and the input / output control module on the main board, so the connection is complicated and the disassembly and assembly are inconvenient

[0003] There is an existing solid state disk (solid state disk, SSD), which uses flash memory instead of magnets as a hard disk as a storage medium. The hard disk includes a storage controller, a storage medium, a cache, etc. It is no different from the traditional hard disk, its structure is still very complicated, and the connection is still inconvenient
