Flash memory controller

<p>A flash memory controller (or flash controller) manages data stored on <a href="/facts/Flash_memory/Cn8JsStx">flash memory</a> (usually <a href="/facts/NAND_flash/Cn8JsStx">NAND flash</a>) and communicates with a <a href="/facts/Computer/SQe1aK05">computer</a> or <a href="/facts/Electronic_device/E4JhgISq">electronic device</a>. Flash memory controllers can be designed for operating in low <a href="/facts/Duty-cycle/B2tbtXTh">duty-cycle</a> environments like <a href="/facts/Memory_card/Rwy2lKS2">memory cards</a>, or other similar <a href="/facts/Data_storage_device/uCvJ6nrq">media</a> for use in <a href="/facts/Personal_digital_assistant/fLTT1Uqy">PDAs</a>, <a href="/facts/Mobile_phone/H3EcqD9h">mobile phones</a>, etc. <a href="/facts/USB_flash_drive/Jv0qmTCF">USB flash drives</a> use flash memory controllers designed to communicate with <a href="/facts/Personal_computer/koaYfNce">personal computers</a> through the <a href="/facts/USB_port/XcIKWLyg">USB port</a> at a low duty-cycle. Flash controllers can also be designed for higher duty-cycle environments like <a href="/facts/Solid-state_drive/aMHBy8gU">solid-state drives</a> (SSDs) used as data storage for <a href="/facts/Laptop/3EFwTAb2">laptop</a> computer systems up to <a href="/facts/Mission-critical/arr57gEx">mission-critical</a> enterprise <a href="/facts/Storage_array/rucs0NjV">storage arrays</a>.
