Abstract

The disclosure is directed to a method of determining memory parameters of a memory device. The method includes determining a communication protocol associated with the memory device, determining a page size of the memory device by using the communication protocol to communicate a page of data, determining a block size of the memory device by using the communication protocol to erase a block of the memory device, and determining a capacity of the memory device by using the communication protocol to determine a number of significant address bits.
