Abstract

In a memory component programmed to operate in a first operating mode and having a page buffer and a fixed-width data interface, N bits of a command/address value are decoded to access one of 2columns of data within the page-buffer, with that column of data output via the fixed-width data interface over a first burst interval. If programmed to operate in a second operating mode, M bits of the command/address value are decoded to access a larger column of data—one of 2columns of data within the page buffer, where M<N—with that larger column of data output via the fixed-width data interface over a second burst interval longer than the first burst interval.
