FLASH MEMORY STORAGE APPARATUS
First Claim
1. A flash memory storage apparatus having a plurality of operation modes, the flash memory storage apparatus comprising:
- a memory controller circuit configured to control the flash memory storage apparatus to operate in one of the plurality of operation modes, wherein the plurality of operation modes comprise a low standby current mode; and
a memory cell array coupled to the memory controller circuit and configured to store data that comprises read-only memory data,wherein the memory controller circuit controls the flash memory storage apparatus to enter the low standby current mode according to a first command, and wakes up the flash memory storage apparatus from the low standby current mode according to a second command,wherein when the flash memory storage apparatus operates in the low standby current mode, the read-only memory data is kept.

Abstract
A flash memory storage apparatus having a plurality of operation modes is provided. The flash memory storage apparatus includes a memory controller circuit and a memory cell array. The memory controller circuit is configured to control the flash memory storage apparatus to operate in one of the operation modes. The operation modes include a low standby current mode. The memory cell array is coupled to the memory controller circuit. The memory cell array is configured to store data. The data includes read-only memory data. The memory controller circuit controls the flash memory storage apparatus to enter the low standby current mode according to a first command. The memory controller circuit wakes up the flash memory storage apparatus from the low standby current mode according to a second command. When the flash memory storage apparatus operates in the low standby current mode, the read-only memory data is kept.
