Abstract: A NAND flash memory in which a command/address pin is separated from a data input/output pin. The NAND flash memory includes a memory cell array used for storing data, a command/address pin through which a command and an address are received for transmitting data in the memory cell array, and a data input/output pin through which data are transmitted in the memory cell array. The command/address pin is separated from the data input/output pin in the NAND flash memory. Data input/output speed is increased. Furthermore, the NAND flash memory can perform a bank interleaving operation with a minimal delay time.

Abstract: The present invention provides a system with a plurality of Bluetooth dongles connected to a single host. Each dongle is connected to a different port on the host and each dongle can accommodate a piconet of up to seven Bluetooth devices. The host communicates with the Bluetooth devices via Bluetooth channels. The host includes an application layer, a Host Control Interface (HCI) layer and an interface device driver layer.
