Abstract
Method and apparatus for use with flash memory devices and systems are included among the embodiments. In exemplary systems, a pipelined burst read operation allows the device to support higher data transfer rates than are possible with prior art burst read flash memory devices. Preferably, the flash memory device supports both non-pipelined and pipelined read operations, with the read mode settable from a memory controller. Other embodiments are described and claimed.
