Abstract
A method for scanning bad block of a memory and a circuit system thereof are provided. In a procedure of scanning bad blocks of the memory, the circuit system uses a cache read command that is adapted to a process of continuously reading a plurality of memory pages of the memory. The cache read command loads a memory page data to a cache of the memory in advance, and then reads the memory page data from the cache at a next instruction cycle. Next, the cache read command loads a next memory page data to the cache. These steps are repeated until the procedure of scanning bad blocks of the memory is completed. The method can effectively reduce the time for the memory to prepare the next page data so as to reduce the impact of the busy time of the memory on time performance.
