Abstract
A system including a non-volatile semiconductor memory (NVSM), an interface module and a control module. The NVSM stores first and second blocks of data. The first or second block of data is non-page based such that a size of the first block of data or a size of the second block of data is not an integer multiple of a page of data. The interface module transfers the first and second blocks of data during respectively a first data transfer event and a second data transfer event. The control module, based on descriptors, controls the first and second data transfer events such that the interface module transfers the first block of data between the interface module and the NVSM while transferring the second block of data between the interface module and the NVSM. The descriptors include respective sets of instructions for transferring the first and second blocks of data.
