Claim 9:
10. A method for outputting commands issued from a host to a multi-plane flash memory, comprising:
storing a first plane pipeline command and a second plane pipeline command that are issued from the host in a first storage unit and a second storage unit, respectively; and
outputting the first plane pipeline command to a first plane of the flash memory and the second plane pipeline command to a second plane of the flash memory synchronously only when no read process is performed on any one of the first plane and the second plane of the flash memory, so that the first plane of the flash memory performs a first operation corresponding to the first plane pipeline command and the second plane of the flash memory performs a second operation corresponding to the second plane pipeline command synchronously in response to a signal that indicates data stored in the first plane and the second plane have been cached into a first cache and a second cache, respectively, and the first cache and the second cache are ready to be accessed by the host,
wherein the first plane pipeline command is distinct from the second plane pipeline command.
