Abstract

A memory device receiving a host instruction generated by a host includes a flash memory array and a controller. The controller translates the host instruction into operation instructions, queues the operation instructions in a major command queue, and performs an operation on the flash memory array according to the operation instructions. When an error occurs during execution of the operation commands, the controller performs an error-handling process, queues operation commands related to the error-handling process in an auxiliary command queue, sequentially executes the operation commands in the auxiliary command queue, and stops executing the major command queue.
