ABSTRACT:
A random access interface is provided to a non-volatile, serial memory array. An address multiplexer has an external address connection and a serial address connection. The external address may be of a non-sequential nature, depending on the accessing instruction. Boot data is loaded from the first row of the memory array to a cache register. If a random access mode is enabled during a boot operation, the external address is applied to a data multiplexer that accesses the boot data from the cache register and executes the instructions.
