A method of masking input data in a synchronous non-volatile flash memory. According to one embodiment of the present invention, a data mask connection is used to receive a mask signal. The mask signal forces at least a portion of input data having a programmed state to an erased state. In another embodiment, control circuitry is used to control write operations to memory cells of a memory array. In this embodiment, the control circuitry does not write input data having an erased state to the memory array.
