Method for initializing and reprogramming a control operation feature of a memory device

Claim 1

A method for operating a memory device, comprising the following steps: a) providing a first command to the memory device; b) providing a selection signal to the memory device; c) programming a control operation feature of the memory device in response to said first command to have one of a plurality of operating options as determined by said selection signal; d) providing a second command to the memory device; and e) toggling a value of said selection signal from a first logic state to a second logic state in response to said second command in order to reprogram said control operation feature of the memory device to have a further one of said plurality of said operating options.

Claim 2

A method for operating a memory device, comprising the following steps: a) providing a first command to the memory device; b) providing a selection signal to the memory device; c) programming a control operation feature of the memory device in response to said first command to have one of a plurality of operating options as determined by said selection signal; d) providing a second command to the memory device; and e) toggling a value of said selection signal from a first logic state to a second logic state in response to said second command in order to reprogram said control operation feature of the memory device to have a further one of said plurality of said operating options.

Claim 3

A method for operating a memory device, comprising the following steps: a) providing a first command to the memory device; b) providing a selection signal to the memory device; c) programming a control operation feature of the memory device in response to said first command to have one of a plurality of operating options as determined by said selection signal; d) providing a second command to the memory device; e) toggling a value of said selection signal from a first logic state to a second logic state in response to said second command in order to reprogram said control operation feature of the memory device to have a further one of said plurality of said operating options; f) providing a third command to said memory device; and g) toggling a value of said selection signal from said second logic state to said first logic state in response to said third command.

Claim 4

A method for operating a memory device, comprising the following steps: a) providing a first command to the memory device; b) providing a selection signal to the memory device; c) programming a control operation feature of the memory device in response to said first command to have one of a plurality of operating options as determined by said selection signal; d) providing a second command to the memory device; e) toggling a value of said selection signal from a first logic state to a second logic state in response to said second command in order to reprogram said control operation feature of the memory device to have a further one of said plurality of said operating options; f) providing a third command to said memory device; and g) toggling a value of said selection signal from said second logic state to said first logic state in response to said third command.
