Memory device determining operation mode based on external voltage and method of operating the same

Abstract

A memory device determines an operation mode based on an external voltage. The memory device includes a cell array including a plurality of memory cells; and a mode selector that detects a level of at least one voltage signal externally provided and selects any one of a plurality of operation modes corresponding to a plurality of standards according to a result of detecting the level of the at least one voltage signal. The memory device further includes a mode controller that, in response to a mode selecting signal from the mode selector, outputs setting information for setting the memory device to communicate with a memory controller via an interface according to a selected standard from among the plurality of standards; and a calibrating circuit that generates a control code for controlling circuit blocks in the memory device according to the setting information.
