Abstract

See full text

A memory device which utilizes a plurality of memory modules coupled in parallel to a master I/O module through a bus. Each memory module has independent address and command decoders to enable independent operation. Thus each memory module is activated by commands on the bus only when a memory access operation is performed within the particular memory module. Each memory module has a programmable identification register which stores a communication address of the module. The communication address for each module can be changed during operation of the memory device by a command from the bus. The memory device includes redundant memory modules to replace defective memory modules. Replacement can be carried out through commands on the bus.
