Abstract

An e-MMC memory having a controller for a NAND Flash and another controller for a Phase-Change Memory (PCM) in a memory managed system. The different memory technologies of the NAND Flash and PCM may be partitioned to segment available memory space to store different types of data or code while accounting for an attribute property stored in a register.
