  • Method and system for communicating with non-volatile memory
    Patent number: 9430411
    Abstract: Apparatus and methods implemented therein are disclosed for communicating with flash memories. The apparatus comprises a flash interface module and a processor in communication with the flash interface module. The flash interface module is configured for communication with a first and second flash bank. The processor is configured to generate a plurality of command sequences in response to receiving a plurality of flash commands from a host system. Each of the plurality of command sequences corresponds to a respective one of the plurality of flash commands. Some of the plurality of command sequences comprises a first portion and a second portion and each of the first portion and second portion are atomic.
    Type: Grant

  • Method for adapting a memory system to operate with a legacy host originally designed to operate with a different memory system
    Publication number: 20070136639
    Abstract: A non-volatile memory device is provided with a controller and includes method that controls memory operations and to emulate the memory and communication characteristics of a legacy memory device. In this way, the memory device is compatible with a host that was originally designed to operate the legacy memory device. In particular, the controller performs the emulation to the host taking into account differences such as multibit memory, error correction requirement, memory support of overwrites, and erasable block sizes.
