Abstract

The disclosure concerns a flash memory interface having a memory management unit including a comparator configured to determine whether an address of a flash memory access operation corresponds to a logical address or a physical address by comparing the address with one or more address ranges and a logical memory unit configured to convert logical addresses into physical addresses and to provide the physical addresses to the flash memory. The memory management unit is configured to direct physical addresses to the flash memory and to direct logical addresses to the logical memory unit for conversion into physical addresses.
