The low-level interface to flash memory chips differs from those of other memory types such as DRAM, ROM, and EEPROM, … See more

Because of the particular characteristics of flash memory, it is best used with either a controller to perform wear leveling and error correction or specifically designed flash file systems, … See more

Flash memory stores information in an array of memory cells made from floating-gate transistors. In single-level cell (SLC) devices, each cell … See more

Block erasure
One limitation of flash memory is that it can be erased only a block at a time. This generally sets all … See more

NOR and NAND flash differ in two important ways:
