Abstract
The memory device includes a die with a plurality of memory blocks which are physically arranged in six planes. The die is configured to allow parallel operations in memory blocks of any combination of all six plane. The memory device also includes circuitry that is configured to operate the die in at least two different operating modes depending on a type of memory product that the die is connected with. The at least two operating modes include a four-plane operating mode, wherein memory blocks in only four of the six planes can be selected simultaneously, and a six-plane operating mode, wherein memory blocks in all six planes can be selected simultaneously.
