Storage apparatus can support various memory units with different standards based on the method which drives the power control-and-switch circuit in the power management unit according to a control signal caused by the ID code of a memory unit to control the second booster for further increasing the level of the external voltage or control the second regulator for further regulating or decreasing the level of the external voltage.

Non-volatile storage apparatus and a control method thereof

A non-volatile memory storage device with functions of boosting supply voltage and signal level can adopt a non-volatile memory having an operating voltage higher than the supply voltage provided by the host device as a storage medium. The non-volatile memory storage device includes a supply voltage booster, a non-volatile memory storage unit and a controller. The supply voltage booster boosts the lower supply voltage provided by the host device up to the higher operating voltage of the non-volatile memory. The controller adjusts the interface signal to a proper interface signal level by cooperating with the supply voltage and the operating voltage so as to avoid the interface from damage owing to an over high signal level or avoid the non-volatile memory unit from not correctly receiving signal due to an over low signal level.

Non-volatile memory storage device and controller therefor

An application IC that can be applied in the control system of a memory storage device for the USB device for communicating with a server for receiving, reading and writing commands from the server and to access to the data stored in various memory storage devices is provided. Alternatively, the application IC can support the server, including IDE portable information product for data transmission. The data transmission having these two different specifications can share the same data source in certain mechanism. In this mechanism, the USB server is in the first priority transfer mode, the IDE server will take action only when the USB server is unavailable or discharged. When the IDE server is in operation mode, the interruption demand from the USB server is denied and after the IDE server completes the assignment, the interruption command from the USB server is executed.
