Abstract
A memory, such as a flash memory, may receive a configuration bit from a memory controller to set the memory in one of two selectable modes. Thus, based on the way the memory controller operates, it can adapt the operation of the memory to suit the memory controller's techniques for entering synchronous burst read mode. In some embodiments, the bit may selectively enable the memory to assume one of two synchronous burst read modes which are based on different arrangements of CLK and ADV# signals.
