Abstract
A control circuit for a non-volatile memory array includes an interface to receive requests, a common request queue connected to the interface and a common request buffer connected to the common request queue. The common request buffer is configured to receive the requests from the common request queue in their received order and buffer unfinished requests directed to memory addresses such that for any address in the non-volatile memory array no more than one unfinished request is in the common request buffer.
