Abstract

The embodiments described herein provide a method and controller for performing a sequence of commands. In one embodiment, a controller receives a command from a host to perform a memory operation in a flash memory device, wherein the command comprises at least one bit that indicates whether the command is a stand-alone command or is part of a sequence of commands. The controller analyzes the at least one bit to determine whether the at least one bit indicates that the command is a stand-alone command or is part of a sequence of commands. If the at least one bit indicates that the command is a stand-alone command, the controller performs the command. If the at least one bit indicates that the command is part of a sequence of commands, the controller performs the command as part of the sequence of commands.
