Controller, system and method for controlling memories in storage devices

Abstract

Disclosed herein is a new technique for providing a storage controller with variable interface communication speeds to allow the storage controller to set different communication speeds and frequencies for different communication channels between the storage controller and respective memories. A controller comprises: a processor; registers; and a clock generator configured to generate clock signals respectively for multiple communication channels based on values stored in the registers. The controller is configured to communicate with non-volatile memories through the communication channels respectively using the clock signals.
