Abstract

Systems and methods implemented therein are disclosed for communicating data in a flash memory system. The system comprises a memory system, a data path manager (DPM) and a memory controller. The memory system is configured to receive a flash command from a host processor. In response to receiving the flash command, the memory system is configured to communicate a flash command sequence to one of the first flash device or the second flash device. Separately, the data path manager (DPM) is configured to select a subset of logical data paths from a set of logical data paths. Data is communicated between the memory controller and either one of the first flash device or the second flash device via the subset of logical data paths.
