A multi-input/output serial peripheral interface of an integrated circuit includes many pins coupled to the integrated circuit. The integrated circuit receives an instruction under a control of selectively using only a first pin or a combination of the first pin, a second pin, a third pin, and a fourth pin of the multi-input/output serial peripheral interface. The integrated circuit receives an address using the first pin, the second pin, the third pin, and the fourth pin of the multi-input/output serial peripheral interface. The integrated circuit sends a read out data using the first pin, the second pin, the third pin, and the fourth pin of the multi-input/output serial peripheral interface.
