Abstract

A control apparatus for a non-volatile memory and applications of the control apparatus to electronic computer peripheral equipments are disclosed. For example, a NOVRAM (non-volatile static random access memory) is used as the non-volatile memory so that data of the status of the apparatus are stored into the non-volatile memory while the apparatus is operating in order to perform recovery of the apparatus quickly after a trouble such as turning off of the power or service interruption occurs.
