Abstract

See full text

A memory device such as a solid state memory device have a dual-hardware, secure erase feature. A memory controller operating in a memory controller domain provides general memory management and interface operons. Upon receipt of a trigger signal which may be received from a secure supervisor circuit, a separate processor element that is configured to directly access the raw memory cells in the device bypasses the memory controller domain and executes a separately provided secure erase operating system whereby the raw cell data may be erased and rewritten with a predetermined data pattern and whereby the erase operation at the raw cell level may be verified and reported to the user by the processor.
