Abstract

A flash memory apparatus with serial interface is disclosed. The flash memory apparatus includes a selector, a core circuit and a programmable data bank. The selector decides whether or not to connect one of a write protect pin and a hold pin to a reset signal line. The core circuit receives a reset signal transmitted by the reset signal line and activates a reset operation accordingly. A selecting data is written into the programmable data bank through a programming method and the programmable data bank outputs the selecting data to serve as a selecting signal.
