Abstract
System and method for the managing of suspend requests in flash memory devices. The system includes a microcontroller performing a modify operation on a flash memory array, a memory coupled to the microcontroller and storing suspend sequence code for causing a suspension of the modify operation when executed by the microcontroller, and suspend circuitry that receives a suspend request from a user to suspend the modify operation and starts the execution of the suspend sequence code.
