ABSTRACT:
High integration of a non-volatile memory device (NVMD) is disclosed. According to one aspect of the present invention, a non-volatile memory device comprises an intelligent non-volatile memory (NVM) controller and an intelligent non-volatile memory module. The NVM controller includes a central processing unit (CPU) configured to handle data transfer operations to the NVM module to ensure source synchronous interface, interleaved data operations and block abstracted addressing. The intelligent NVM module includes an interface logic, a block address manager and at least one non-volatile memory array. The interface logic is configured to handle physical block management. The block address manager is configured to ensure a physical address is converted to a transformed address that is accessible to the CPU of the intelligent NVM controller. The transformed address may be an address in blocks, pages, sectors or bytes either logically or physically.
