Abstract
A memory device includes a serial interface buffer that receives a hardware-decodable command and an extended interface command. The memory device also includes a logic module that directs the hardware-decodable command to a register for execution by a microcontroller. The logic module additionally loads a command received following the extended interface command into a sub-op-code register, wherein the logic module remains passive after loading the command received following the extended interface command into the sub-op-code register. Also included is a microcontroller that interprets the command in the sub-op-code register.
