Abstract

See full text

Described are memory apparatus organized in physical banks and including configurable data control circuit to support multiple data-width configurations. Relatively narrow width configurations load fewer sense amplifiers, resulting in reduced power usage for relatively narrow memory configurations. Also described are memory controllers that convey configuration value to configurable memory apparatus and support point-to-point data buffers for multiple width configurations.
