Technical details and manufacturing context for Flash Controller

Definition
A specialized microcontroller embedded within flash storage modules that handles all communication between the host system and the NAND flash memory cells. It manages critical functions including wear leveling, bad block management, error correction, garbage collection, and data encryption to ensure reliable data storage and optimal performance.
Working Principle
