ABSTRACT:
Various embodiments of the invention may use one or more programmable non-volatile registers in each memory device to provide a separate device address for that device. These registers may be programmed at various points in the manufacturing and distribution cycle, such as but not limited to the memory chip factory, an original equipment manufacturer (OEM), or in the field. In some embodiments, other types of information (e.g., configuration information for the memory device) may also be programmed in this manner.
