US Patent 9583160 Apparatuses including multiple read modes and methods for same

Apparatuses and methods including multiple read modes for reading data from a memory are described. An example apparatus includes a memory including a first read mode and a second read mode. The memory has a read operation for the first read mode including a first pre-access phase, an access phase, and a first post-access phase. The read operation for the second read mode includes a second pre-access phase, the access phase, and a second post-access phase. The read operation for either the first read mode or the second read mode is performed responsive to the memory receiving a read command. The second pre-access phase is different from the first pre-access phase, with the second pre-access phase having a shorter time thaw the first pre-access phase measured from receipt of the read command.
