Controller and Method for Memory Aliasing for Different Flash Memory Types

Abstract

A controller and method for memory aliasing for different flash memory types are presented. In one embodiment, a controller is presented having one or more interfaces through which to communicate with a plurality of memory dies, wherein at least one of the memory dies is of a different memory type than the other memory dies. The controller also has an interface through which to communicate with a host, wherein the interface only supports commands for a single memory types. The controller further contains a processor that is configured to receive a logical address and a command from the host, determine which memory die is associated with the logical address, and translate the command received from the host to a form suitable for the memory type of the memory die associated with the logical address.

Dependencies are inferred from the claim text.
