    摘要: An addressing scheme and associated hardware allows for two different types of access, one for reading and one for writing, to take place. A memory device constructed according to the invention comprises a plurality of arrays of memory cells. Peripheral devices are provided for reading information out of and for writing information into the plurality of memory cells. The peripheral devices include a reorder circuit responsive to certain address bits for ordering bits received from the plurality of arrays and an address sequencer for routing certain of the address bits to the reorder circuit during a read operation. The method of the present invention comprises reordering a block of n-bit words output from a memory array according to information in certain address bits before outputting at least one n-bit word from a memory device.

    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.

    摘要: A dynamic random access memory device includes a mode register that is programmed with a delay value. In some embodiments, a offset code is also stored in the memory device. The memory device uses the delay value, which may be added to or multiplied by the offset code, to delay the initiation of a received auto-refresh or self-refresh command. A large number of dynamic random access memory devices in a system may be provided with different delay values and possibly offset codes so that the memory device do not all perform refreshes simultaneously in response to an auto-refresh or self-refresh command issued to all of the memory devices simultaneously. As a result, the peak current drawn by the memory devices resulting from the auto-refresh command or self-refresh command is maintained at a relatively low value.

    摘要: Methods of operating a memory device comprised of a plurality of arrays of memory cells and peripheral devices for reading and writing information to the memory cells. One method comprises outputting an n-bit word in two ½n bit prefetch steps from a plurality of memory arrays in response to an address bit. Another method comprises prefetching a first portion of a word from a memory array, and prefetching a second portion of the word from the memory array, the first and second portions being determined by an address bit. Another method comprises reading a word from a memory array in at least two prefetch operations, wherein the order of the prefetch operations is controlled by an address bit.

    摘要: A method and apparatus for active termination control of a memory module is disclosed. A memory controller provides a single active termination control line per memory module which is used to control memory devices on both sides of a module. The active termination control signal is active for all write functions to the memory devices on the modules. A device read signal generated by the memory devices on one side of the module disables the active termination control signal for memory devices on both sides of the module to enable faster turnarounds between write and read operations.
