Abstract:
The Flash memory device with a Low Pin Count (LPC) communication interface includes a memorization block or Flash core including a matrix of non volatile memory cells, with associated circuit portions for reading, modifying and erasing the data contained in the memory. An interface block associated with the LPC communication interface includes at least an address block, a data block and a state machine enabling the data flow from and towards the memorization block. Advantageously, the data block of the interface block is doubled in a portion provided to contain the read data and in a portion provided to contain write data. In the memorization block, respective address decoders are provided for the read and write steps of the memory matrix. The device includes an architecture of the multibank type and the logic necessary for the execution of a “Dual Operations” mode. In this way it is possible to simultaneously perform a modify operation in a memory bank and a read operation in another bank.
