Abstract

The disclosure is directed to a device including a memory interface. The memory interface includes a data interface, a first state machine and a second state machine. The first state machine includes a first chip select interface and a first ready/busy interface. The first state machine is configured to select and monitor a first memory device via the first chip select interface and the first ready/busy interface, respectively, when the first memory device is coupled to the data interface. The second state machine includes a second chip select interface and a second ready/busy inter-face. The second state machine is configured to select and monitor a second memory device via the second chip select interface and the second ready/busy interface, respectively, when the second memory device is coupled to the data interface.
