Configurable flash interface

A non-transitory computer readable medium that stores instructions for:

• receiving a request to perform a requested operation with a flash memory device;
• selecting multiple selected instructions to be executed by a programmable module of the flash memory controller, based upon (a) an interface specification supported by the flash memory device and (b) the requested operation;
• wherein the programmable module comprising multiple operation phase circuits;
• and
• executing the multiple selected instructions by the programmable module, wherein the executing of the multiple selected instructions comprises executing a plurality of selected instructions by multiple operation phase circuits;
• wherein different operation phase circuits are arranged to execute different operation phases of the requested operation.

A flash memory controller, comprising:

• an input port arranged to receive a request to perform a requested operation with a flash memory device;
• a programmable module arranged to execute multiple selected instructions, wherein the multiple selected instructions are selected by the flash memory controller based upon based upon (a) an interface specification supported by the flash memory device and (b) the requested operation;
• wherein the programmable module comprises multiple operation phase circuits that are arranged to execute a plurality of the selected instructions;
• wherein different operation phase circuits are arranged to execute different operation phases of the requested operation.
