Abstract
A serial peripheral flash memory device uses a plurality of dummy input/output terminals to enable the selection of a parallel mode for devices that have a slower serial clock speed. In parallel mode, data is transmitted over the plurality of dummy input/output terminals to allow a plurality of bits to be transmitted at the same time improving the data transmission rate at the slower serial clock speed.
