Abstract
A circuit comprising a non-volatile memory array, an Input/Output (IO) circuit, a decoder circuit, a control circuit, and a read/write circuit. The non-volatile memory array couples to an address decoder that identifies a location within the non-volatile memory array for a storage command. The IO circuit couples to a decoder circuit through a control bus. The decoder circuit decodes a command address and storage command from a fixed length command sequence received by the IO circuit over the data bus. The decoder circuit may include a serial-in parallel out (SIPO) circuit for decoding and parallel operation. The control circuit couples to the IO and decoder circuits and generates control signals to execute decoded storage commands. The read/write circuit couples to the non-volatile memory array and the control circuit. The read/write circuit transfers data between the non-volatile memory array and the IO circuit in response to the storage commands.
