Memory array, system and method for storing data. The memory array has a flash memory array, a random access memory array coupled to the flash memory and configured to receive the data, a memory management module and a data bus. The memory management module is coupled to the random access memory array and to the flash memory array, the memory management module being configured to transfer at least a portion of the data stored in the random access memory array to the flash memory array. The data bus is coupled to the flash memory array and configured to output at least a portion of the data originally stored in the random access memory array from the flash memory array.

Memory array with flash and random access memory and method therefor, reading data from the flash memory without storing the data in the random access memory

An implantable medical device have an associated memory device is disclosed. The implantable medical device utilizes techniques for optimizing one or more embedded operations of the memory device, such operations including programming, reading or erasing data. The techniques for optimizing the embedded operations include controlling the operations as a function of an energy source of the implantable medical device.
