Abstract

See full text

A system and method for effectively implementing an erase mode for a memory device includes a memory array that is configured to temporarily store confidential or other types of data. A mode switch is provided on the memory device for permitting a device user to readily select between a normal mode and the erase mode for the memory device. A memory controller of the memory device contemporaneously or subsequently erases the data from the memory array if the erase mode has been activated by the mode switch.
