    摘要: A bank selector circuit for a simultaneous operation flash memory device with a flexible bank partition architecture comprises a memory boundary option, a bank selector encoder coupled to receive a memory partition indicator signal from the memory boundary option, and a bank selector decoder coupled to receive a bank selector code from the bank selector encoder. The decoder, upon receiving a memory address, outputs a bank selector output signal to point the memory address to either a lower memory bank or an upper memory bank in the simultaneous operation flash memory device, in dependence upon the selected memory partition boundary.
