Abstract

An integrated circuit ('IC') may have flash memory circuitry associated with it. The IC may also have controllable routing circuitry for routing signal information (1) between the flash memory circuitry and any one of a plurality of signal ports of the IC, or (2) between various ones of those signal ports. Multiple instance of such ICs and their associated flash memory circuitries may be connected to one another via the above-mentioned signal ports to provide flash memory storage systems of any size in which data can be routed in and out at least partly via the controllable routing circuitries of the various ICs.
