Abstract
An apparatus and method including a command input to receive a command with a macro identifier from a channel processor, a macro memory storing a plurality of flash control commands, each comprising a duration and a plurality of target control values to control a flash target; and a second finite state machine comprising a plurality of control outputs each corresponding control inputs on the flash target, wherein in response to a received command, the first finite state machine locates in the macro memory a sequence of flash control commands associated with the macro identifier and sequentially outputs the flash control commands to the second finite state machine; and wherein the second finite state machine drives each of the plurality of control outputs based on corresponding values in the first flash control command for the duration specified in the current flash control command.
