摘要： Methods of configuring a system. More specifically, operating current values corresponding to respective memory devices of memory module may be stored in programmable elements, such as antifuses, located on the memory device, during fabrication. The operating current values may be read from and/or stored in a non-volatile memory device on the memory module. Once the memory module is incorporated into a system, the programmable elements on the memory devices and/or the non-volatile memory device on the memory module may be accessed such that the system can be configured to optimally operate in accordance with the operating current values measured for each memory device in the system.

摘要： A method and apparatus are provided for active termination control in a memory by an module register providing an active termination control signal to the memory. The module register monitors a system command bus for read and write commands. In response to detecting a read or write command, the module register generates an active termination control signal to the memory. The memory turns on active termination based on information programmed into one or more mode registers of the memory. The memory maintains the active termination in an on state for a predetermined time based on information programmed into one or more mode registers of the memory.

摘要： An apparatus enables the reordering of a block of n-bit words output from a plurality of memory cells according to information in certain address bits before outputting at least one n-bit word from a memory device while ignoring those certain address bits before inputting at least one n-bit word into the plurality of memory cells. The apparatus may additionally comprise examining at least two of the least significant bits of a column address and wherein the reordering is responsive to the examining. Thus, for reads a specific 8 bit burst is identified by the most significant column address bits while the least significant bits CA0–CA2 identify the most critical word and the read wrap sequence after the critical word. For writes, the burst is identified by the most significant column addresses with CA0–CA2 being “don't care” bits assumed to be 000.

摘要： An apparatus and method couples memory devices in a memory module to a memory hub on the module such that signals traveling from the hub to the devices have approximately the same propagation time regardless of which device is involved. Specifically, the devices are arranged around the hub in pairs, with each pair of devices being oriented such that a functional group of signals for each device in the pair, such as the data bus signals, are positioned adjacent each other on a circuit board of the module. This allows for a data and control-address busses having approximately the same electrical characteristics to be routed between the hub and each of the devices. This physical arrangement of devices allows high speed operation of the module. In one example, the hub is located in the center of the module and eight devices, four pairs, are positioned around the hub.
