Abstract: In a ring-of-clusters network topology, groups of slave devices are accessed in parallel, such that the latency around the ring is proportional to the number of clusters and not proportional to the number of integrated circuits. The devices of a cluster share input and output ring segments such that packets arriving on the input segment are received and interpreted by all the devices in a cluster. In other embodiments, none, some or all but one slaves per cluster are asleep or otherwise disabled so that they do not input and interpret incoming packets. Regardless, in all embodiments, the slaves of a cluster cooperate, potentially under the controller's direction, to ensure that at most one of them is actively driving the output segment at any given time. The devices may be addressed through a device ID, a cluster ID, or a combination thereof. Embodiments of the invention are suited to exploit multi-chip module implementations and forms of vertical circuit stacking.

Abstract: A plurality of memory devices (e.g., DRAMs, SRAMs, NAND Flash, NOR Flash) is serially interconnected. Each of the interconnected devices receives a device identifier (ID) and latches it as its ID. Each device includes a circuit for calculating another ID or an incremented ID to generate it. The generated ID is transferred to another device and the ID is incremented in each of the devices in the serial interconnection. The last device in the interconnection provides a last generated ID that is provided to a memory controller having a recognition circuit that recognizes the total number of the serially interconnected devices, from the provided last generated ID. The recognition circuit recognizes the total output latency of the devices in the serial interconnection.

Abstract translation: 多个存储器件（例如，DRAM，SRAM，NAND闪存，NOR闪存）被串联连接。 每个互连设备接收设备标识符（ID）并将其锁定为其ID。 每个设备包括用于计算另一个ID或增加的ID以生成它的电路。 生成的ID被传送到另一个设备，并且ID在串行互连中的每个设备中增加。 互连中的最后一个设备提供最后生成的ID，其提供给具有从所提供的最后生成的ID识别串行互连设备的总数的识别电路的存储器控​​制器。 识别电路识别串行互连中设备的总输出延迟。
