Abstract
A method for programming a synchronous dynamic random access memory (SDRAM) device including a memory array is disclosed. In the method, the SDRAM device is initially programmed to have a first control operating option in response to a first command. Reprogramming of the SDRAM device includes a second control operating option in response to a second command. The array remains simultaneously active in response to an active internal row address signal while the control operation feature is programmed to have the second control operating option.
