Abstract

A non-volatile memory apparatus and corresponding method of operation are provided. The apparatus includes non-volatile memory cells in an integrated circuit device along with a microcontroller in communication with the non-volatile memory cells. The microcontroller is configured to receive a memory operation command and in response, determine a condition value of one of a plurality of conditions associated with the memory operation command and whether the one of the plurality of conditions is dynamic. In parallel, the microcontroller determines and outputs an output value using the condition value. The microcontroller then determines whether the one the plurality of conditions has changed. If the one of the plurality of conditions is dynamic and has changed, the microcontroller determines an updated condition value and in parallel, compares the condition value and the updated condition value and determines and outputs an updated output value using the updated condition value and the comparison.
