Abstract
A device for reading data from a first memory to a second memory based on real-time blank page detection includes a memory controller for reading a page of data from the first memory, a buffer for buffering a portion of the page data, a blank page pre-detection unit for generating a pre-detection result that indicates whether the page is a blank page based on a pre-determined part of the page data, a data processing unit for processing all of the page data to identify a page type, and a control unit for signaling the memory controller to read the page of data from the first memory and enabling the data processing unit based on the pre-detection result.
