  • Access to DRAM through a reuse of pins
    Patent number: 10620881
    Abstract: An apparatus includes an interface for dynamic random access memory (DRAM); and an integrated circuit. The integrated circuit includes a memory pinout configured to connect to the memory and control logic. The control logic is configured multiplex address information, command information, and data to be written to or read from the DRAM memory on a subset of pins of the memory pinout to the DRAM memory. The control logic is further configured to route other signals on other pins of the memory pinout to the DRAM in parallel with the multiplexed address information, command information, and data information.
