Abstract
A nonvolatile memory system comprises a nonvolatile memory having a plurality of data areas; and a memory controller operative to control read and write operations to the nonvolatile memory. The memory controller successively executes read/write operations to plural sectors within a selected data area in the nonvolatile memory in accordance with a command and a sector count and sector address fed from a host device.
Claims18
A method for controlling a nonvolatile memory, the method comprising:
- inputting a first command to the nonvolatile memory with command latch enable signal (CLE) asserted;
- after inputting the first command, inputting a data transfer amount to the nonvolatile memory with address latch enable (ALE) signal asserted;
- after inputting the data transfer amount, inputting a second command to the nonvolatile memory with command latch enable signal (CLE) asserted.
