  • Patent number: 8516178
    Abstract: In one embodiment, a system having a non-volatile programmable memory and a controller is provided. The system has data pins that are configured to be accessed in one of a first mode and a second mode such that, in the first mode, the system receives information using one of the data pins and, in the second mode, the system receives information using four of the data pins. The system also has a command pin that is configured to receive a first command, a second command, and a third command, the first command requesting a current operation mode of the data pins, the second command requesting operation voltage information of the system, and the third command setting the system into one of the first and second modes. Additionally, the system has a power signal pin configured to receive power for the system.
