FLASH TRANSLATION LAYER
Phison develops its own FTL with proprietary improvements from generation to generation. Proprietary technologies include:

SmartRefreshTM

SmartRefreshTM scans the NAND for errors when idle.

SmartFlushTM

SmartFlush<sup>TM</sup> works to prevent data loss by flushing the DRAM cache when idle is detected.

Adaptive Wear Leveling

Efficient algorithms prolong the life of the NAND by monitoring not only the health of cells, but also the rate of cell degradation.
