Abstract
An integrated circuit package includes an integrated circuit device that operates in more than one operational mode. The operational mode of the integrated circuit device is controlled by a mode select input. Examples of operational modes include fast page and block modes, two- and three-latency modes, and normal and test modes. A reprogrammable mode select circuit within the integrated circuit package produces a mode control signal that drives a mode select input of the integrated circuit device. The operational mode of the integrated circuit device then corresponds to the state of the mode select signal.
