    摘要: A memory system with a simultaneous bi-directional link includes a controller, a memory device and a set of signal lines coupled to the controller and the memory device. Simultaneous communication between the controller and the memory device on the set of signal lines uses a first band of frequencies, and between the memory device and the controller on the set of signal lines uses a second band of frequencies. The controller is configured to dynamically adjust the first band of frequencies based on a predetermined data rate between the controller and the memory device and to dynamically adjust the second band of frequencies based on a predetermined data rate between the memory device and the controller.

    摘要: Embodiments of an apparatus are described. An interface circuit in this apparatus receives or transmits digital signals on a bus and is configured to alternatively operate as either a data-bus interface circuit or a control-bus interface circuit in dependence upon a mode setting stored in a register. For example, the interface circuit may be pre-configured to interpret a line of an external bus as either a data line or a control line in accordance with the stored mode setting. Moreover, the stored mode setting may be dynamically configured (e.g., reprogrammed) during operation of the interface circuit so that subsequent digital signals are subsequently handled in accordance with a new mode setting.
