Abstract
A non-volatile memory device having a main memory that operates synchronously with the system clock and an asynchronous boot block. The boot block can be activated to operate asynchronously upon initial power up or can be switched from synchronous to asynchronous mode upon receipt of a command signal by control logic circuitry within the device.
