Abstract
A flash memory card including a controller, at least one control pad, at least one memory, and a high voltage switch logic module in communication with the at least one control pad, the controller and the at least one memory, the high voltage switch logic module being adapted to selectively route voltage from the at least one control pad to one of the controller and the at least one memory. If the voltage input to the at least one control pad does not exceed a predefined level, then the voltage may be routed from the at least one control pad to the controller. If the voltage input to the at least one control pad exceeds the predefined level, then the voltage may be routed from the at least one control pad to the at least one memory.
