Claims21
(canceled)
An apparatus comprising:
- a memory device comprising:
- a plurality of non-volatile memory cells;
- a first interface configured to provide data to or from the plurality of non-volatile memory cells and a first bus;
- a second interface configured to provide data to or from the plurality of non-volatile memory cells and a second bus, wherein the second bus is separate from the first bus;
- and
- a state combining block configured to enable the first interface in response to detection of a presence of a first power supply and to enable the second interface in response to detection of a presence of a second power supply, respectively.

An electronically-implemented method of providing data, the method comprising:
- providing data to or from a first bus and a plurality of non-volatile memory cells of a memory device via first interface;
- providing data to or from a second bus and the plurality of non-volatile memory cells via a second interface, wherein the second bus is separate from the first bus;
- and
- selectively enabling the first interface or the second interface in response to detection of a presence of a first power supply or a second power supply, respectively.
