    摘要: A memory module having reduced access granularity. The memory module includes a substrate having signal lines thereon that form a control path and first and second data paths, and further includes first and second memory devices coupled in common to the control path and coupled respectively to the first and second data paths. The first and second memory devices include control circuitry to receive respective first and second memory access commands via the control path and to effect concurrent data transfer on the first and second data paths in response to the first and second memory access commands.

    摘要: A multi-port memory device (100) having two or more ports (110) wherein each port may operate at a different speed. The multi-port memory device contains memory banks that may be accessed via the two or more ports. Two clock signals are applied to each port: a system clock (SCK) and a port clock (PCK). The system clock is applied to port logic (220) that interfaces with the memory banks so that the ports all operate at a common speed with respect to the memory banks. The port clock is applied to a clock divider circuit (230) that is associated with each port. The port clock is divided to a desired frequency or kept at its original frequency. Such a configuration allows the ports to operate at different speeds that may be set on a port-by-port basis.

    摘要: A method and system for progressively reducing the power consumption of a serial memory device is provided, called the power control system. The power control system monitors the ports of a multi-port serial memory so that they can be enabled or disabled on a per-port basis. When data is not being transmitted or received on a port, a series of steps are taken to progressively de-power portions of the port and cause the port to enter into a low-power state. By disabling certain ports and placing ports in a low-power state, the power consumption of the overall serial port memory is significantly reduced.
