Abstract:
A file memory device including a parallel arrangement of memory element groups each having a unit erasure block size greater than a data bus width of said file memory device and a data access width smaller than the data bus width of said file memory device, said file memory device comprising:file division means for dividing file data, that includes at least one unit storage data block, into combined blocks that include a combination of arbitrary unit storage data blocks;data distribution means for combining arbitrarily data on the data bus in terms of a unit data size equal to the data access width, and for making the arbitrarily combined data correspond to an arbitrary combination of memory element groups equal in number to the unit data size; andcontrol means for controlling said data distribution means such that each combined block is stored in said file memory device by being correspondent to one of the arbitrary combinations of memory element groups.
