An apparatus for interfacing between a CPU and Flash memory units, enabling optimized sequential access to the Flash memory units. The apparatus interfaces between the address, control and data buses of the CPU and the address, control and data lines of the Flash memory units. The apparatus anticipates the subsequent memory accesses, and interleaves them between the Flash memory units. An optimization of the read access is therefore provided, thereby improving Flash memory throughput and reducing the latency. Specifically, the apparatus enables improved Flash access in embedded CPUs incorporated in a System-On-Chip (SOC) device.
