Abstract
A memory 600 including an array of memory cells 201 and a plurality of input/output terminals 220 for receiving control bits during control cycles and accessing selected ones of the cells 201 during data access cycles. A command bit input terminal 221 is provided for receiving command bits for initiating the control cycles and a mapping input terminal 222 is provided for receiving a mapping enable signal to initiate a mapping mode. Circuitry 215/ 216 is provided for decoding control bits received during at least one control cycle occurring during a mapping mode for allowing a mapping of a set of addresses for accessing the cells of the array 201.
