Abstract: A method and system for serializing an enable signal designating an electronic device such as a chip to enable or disable in order to reduce the number of pins and physical signal traces required to provide connections for enable signals of multiple electronic devices, such as memory, e.g. Flash and DRAM, is described. The enable signal can be encoded to reduce the number of clock cycles to send the serialized enable signal. A device controller can serialize, encode, and send the enable signal to a decoding module using reduced number of pins and physical connections. Then the decoding module can send a decoded enable signals to individual electronic devices or chips to enable or disable.
