Abstract
The present invention provides a control device of the memory, which accelerates the memory to execute iterant commands. This control device includes a micro-controller unit, a controller, a block information table and a state machine. Among them, the micro-controller unit is used to issue a command to operate the memory, which contains several blocks. The controller is coupled between the memory and the micro-controller unit. When it determines the command needs not be executed repeatedly, the micro-controller unit would issue the command through the control device. When the command is determined necessary for repetitive execution, the state machine would repeatedly carry out this command. The state machine performs an analysis based on the state of every block in the block information table and executes repetitively the command accordingly. It also updates the state information on the blocks in the table accordingly.
