Abstract: A memory module can be programmed to deliver relatively wide, low-latency data in a first access mode, or to sacrifice some latency in return for a narrower data width, a narrower command width, or both, in a second access mode. The narrow, higher-latency mode requires fewer connections and traces. A controller can therefore support more modules, and thus increased system capacity. Programmable modules thus allow computer manufacturers to strike a desired balance between memory latency, capacity, and cost.

Abstract translation: 存储器模块可以被编程为在第一访问模式下提供相对宽的，低延迟的数据，或者在第二访问模式中牺牲一些延迟，以换取较窄的数据宽度，较窄的命令宽度或两者。 窄的，更高延迟的模式需要更少的连接和跟踪。 因此，控制器可以支持更多的模块，从而增加系统容量。 因此可编程模块允许计算机制造商在存储器延迟，容量和成本之间达到期望的平衡。

Abstract: Embodiments generally relate to integrated circuit devices having through silicon vias (TSVs). In one embodiment, an integrated circuit (IC) device includes a field of TSVs and an address decoder that selectably couples at least one of the TSVs to at least one of a test input and a test evaluation circuit. In another embodiment, a method includes selecting one or more TSVs from a field of TSVs in at least one IC device, and coupling each selected TS V to at least one of a test input and a test evaluation circuit.
