ABSTRACT:
A flash memory card is described. One flash memory card has circuitry for providing a ready output signal that indicates a first in time transition from a busy mode to a ready mode by either a first flash memory or a second flash memory of the flash memory card. One flash memory card has a power control register that is used to place certain flash memories in a power down mode. One flash memory card retains information in a power control register from a time prior to the entering of a global power down mode to a time after exiting of the global power down mode. One flash memory card has jumpers for indicating how many flash memories are present on the flash memory card.
