Abstract
An integrated circuit memory device may include a memory cell array, a plurality of data input/output pins, and a plurality of input/output circuits coupled to respective data input/output pins. The input/output circuits may be configured to accept respective data bits being written to the memory cell array from the respective data input/output pins during a write operation, and the input/output circuits may be configured to provide respective data bits being read from the memory cell array to the respective data input/output pins during a read operation. In addition, the input/output circuits may be configured to modify operational characteristics thereof responsive to respective control bits received through the respective data input/output pins during a mode set operation. Related methods and systems are also discussed.
