20140244906 | MEMORY, AND METHOD OF READING DATA FROM THE MEMORY - Disclosed is a method of reading data from a memory including a NAND cell array for performing communications via a serial peripheral interface (SPI) bus. The method includes sequentially receiving inputs of a block address, a word-line address, and a bit-line address of the NAND cell array; and starting to output data written in the NAND cell array immediately after the bit-line address is completely input. In this case, the sequential receiving of the inputs is performed via one input terminal. | 2014-08-28 |
20140244907 | MEMORY DEVICE - According to an embodiment of the invention, a memory device includes an interface unit, a determining unit, a second command generating unit, and a processor. The interface unit receives a first command from the outside of the memory device. The determining unit determines whether the first command received by the interface unit is an access command that is a write command or a read command. When the determining unit determines that the first command is the access command, the second command generating unit extracts access destination information, which is address information or size information of an access destination, from the first command and generates a second command which includes the extracted access destination information and has a size less than that of the first command. The processor executes the second command. | 2014-08-28 |
