Abstract
In one embodiment, a non-volatile memory is controlled in a selectable read mode in response to commands from a processor. Selectable read modes may include a default read memory mode, for example, and a performance read memory mode having a shorter read pulse and a reduced read latency than the default read memory mode, for example. In one embodiment, the performance read memory mode may also have refresh operations at an increased frequency compared to that of the default read mode. Other aspects and advantages are described.
