Abstract:     A Multi-Media Card/Secure Digital (MMC/SD) single-chip flash device contains a MMC/SD flash microcontroller and flash mass storage blocks containing flash memory arrays that are block-addressable rather than randomly-addressable. MMC/SD transactions from a host MMC/SD bus are read by a bus transceiver on the MMC/SD flash microcontroller. Various routines that execute on a CPU in the MMC/SD flash microcontroller are activated in response to commands in the MMC/SD transactions. A flash-memory controller in the MMC/SD flash microcontroller transfers data from the bus transceiver to the flash mass storage blocks for storage. Rather than boot from an internal ROM coupled to the CPU, a boot loader is transferred by DMA from the first page of the flash mass storage block to an internal RAM. The flash memory is automatically read from the first page at power-on. The CPU then executes the boot loader from the internal RAM to load the control program.

First Claim:
Show all 19 claims		     1. A Multi-Media Card (MMC) single-chip flash device comprising:

a MMC flash microcontroller having a central processing unit (CPU) for executing instructions and a random-access memory (RAM) for storing instructions for execution by the CPU;

a bus transceiver in the MMC flash microcontroller for receiving MMC commands from a host over a host MMC bus;

a flash-memory controller in the MMC flash microcontroller;

flash mass storage blocks, coupled to the flash-memory controller, for storing non-volatile data for the host, the data in the flash mass storage blocks being block-addressable and not randomly-addressable; and

a flash bus having parallel data lines for transferring data from the flash-memory controller to the flash mass storage blocks, the flash bus also carrying a command to the flash mass storage blocks over the parallel data lines and also carrying a flash address over the parallel data lines;

wherein a block of data in the flash mass storage blocks is addressable by the flash-memory controller sending the command and a physical address over the parallel data lines, the command and the physical address being used to transfer the block of data over the parallel data lines as a plurality of data words transferred in a plurality of bus cycles;

whereby the MMC flash microcontroller is integrated with the flash mass storage blocks that are block-addressable.
