ABSTRACT:
A method and apparatus observes a mode register (102) in a synchronous memory device. A multiplexer (306) selects the value of the mode register (102) or the conventional data path of the memory array (302) through the output buffer. The invention outputs the stored value of the control register (102) on output pins, such as address pins when no signal is expected. The multiplexer (306) maybe responsive to a variety of control signals.
