Abstract
The present invention provides a nonvolatile memory system whose storage capacity can be easily changed. The nonvolatile memory system comprises plural memory modules, a controller for controlling the operation of the plural memory modules according to access requests from the outside, and a module selecting decoder for selectively enabling the memory modules by decoding a selection signal outputted from the controller, wherein the memory modules are freely mounted or dismounted. With this arrangement, the storage capacity can be changed by increasing or decreasing the memory modules.
