  • Publication number: 20080025136
    Abstract: A system and method are provided for use in the context of a plurality of memory circuits. In use, first information is received in association with a first operation to be performed on at least one of the memory circuits. At least a portion of the first information is stored. Still yet, second information is received in association with a second operation to be performed on at least one of the plurality of memory circuits. To this end, the second operation may be performed utilizing the stored portion of the first information in addition to the second information.

  • Publication number: 20070195613
    Abstract: A memory module, which includes at least one memory stack, comprises a plurality of DRAM integrated circuits and an interface circuit. The interface circuit interfaces the memory stack to a host system so as to operate the memory stack as a single DRAM integrated circuit. In other embodiments, a memory module includes at least one memory stack and a buffer integrated circuit. The buffer integrated circuit, coupled to a host system, interfaces the memory stack to the host system so to operate the memory stack as at least two DRAM integrated circuits. In yet other embodiments, an interface circuit maps virtual addresses from the host system to physical addresses of the DRAM integrated circuits in a linear manner. In a further embodiment, the interface circuit maps one or more banks of virtual addresses from the host system to a single one of the DRAM integrated circuits.
