Abstract

The system includes a microcontroller (12) performing a modify operation on a flash memory array (16), a memory (14) coupled to the microcontroller (12) and storing suspend sequence code for causing a suspension of the modify operation when executed by the microcontroller (12), and suspend circuitry (30) that receives a suspend request (22) from a user to suspend the modify operation and starts the execution of the suspend sequence code.
