ABSTRACT:
A nonvolatile memory is described that includes a memory array and control circuitry coupled to the memory array for controlling memory operations with respect to the memory array. The control circuitry can operate at a first power supply voltage and a second power supply voltage. A configuration circuit is coupled to receive a power supply voltage indication signal for selectively configuring the control circuitry in accordance with the power supply indication signal to operate at one of the first and second power supply voltages. When the power supply voltage indication signal is in a first state, the configuration circuit configures the control circuitry to operate at the first power supply voltage. When the power supply voltage indication signal is in a second state, the configuration circuit configures the control circuitry to operate at the second power supply voltage. A method for automatically configuring a nonvolatile memory with respect to the voltage level of a power supply applied to the nonvolatile memory is also described. The power supply can be in a first voltage level and a second voltage level.
