Abstract (en)
[origin: WO2007095579A2] Writing to flash memory may include receiving write commands that are substantially independent of an internal architecture of the flash memory. In certain implementations, two operand flash commands are received at a flash controller from a remote controller, and the writing process may further include translating each two-operand write command into architecture-dependent flash commands; executing the architecture-dependent flash commands to fill a page buffer associated with the flash memory; and subsequently transferring contents of the page buffer to a page of flash memory. A system for configuring or testing memory may cycle a memory array while substantially concurrently performing other functional testing. In particular implementations, the system may configure, or cycle, a flash memory (e.g., by erasing and writing specific patterns to dissipate charge that accumulated during a fabrication process) using a serial interface and test other functional units using the same serial interface substantially concurrently.
