ABSTRACT:
A synchronous flash memory includes an array of non-volatile memory cells. The memory array is arranged in rows and columns, and can be further arranged in addressable blocks. Data communication connections are used for bi-directional data communication with an external device(s), such as a processor or other memory controller. The memory can output data from storage registers on the data communication connections during a series of clock cycles to provide a burst of register data. The memory can also provide the register data in accordance to a defined clock latency value. The register data can include status data, operating setting data, manufacture identification, and memory device identification.
