Abstract: A memory device includes multiple data I/O lanes and corresponding lane or column decoders. Instead of providing the same address to each column decoder, decoder logic calculates potentially different column addresses depending on the needs of the device utilizing the memory. For example, the column addresses might be based on a received CAS address and an accompanying offset. This allows data access at alignments that do not necessarily correspond to CAS alignments. The technique is utilized in conjunction with graphics systems in which tiling is used. In systems such as this, memory offsets are specified in terms of pixel columns and rows. The technique is also used in conjunction with a router such as a TCP/IP router, in which individual packets are aligned at CAS boundaries. In this situation, the decoder logic is alternatively configurable to allow access of either an information packet or a plurality of packet headers during a single memory access cycle.
